Array Joins Amazon’s Just Walk Out Certified Partner Network

Array is proud to announce that we have officially joined Amazon’s Just Walk Out (JWO) Certified Partner Network, strengthening our position at the forefront of retail innovation. This milestone reflects our legacy in delivering exceptional retail experiences – now with the added power of a frictionless, tech-enabled solution that streamlines the customer’s journey.

Amazon’s JWO technology allows shoppers to enter a store, grab what they need, and walk out without stopping at a traditional checkout. Powered by computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning, the system automatically tracks purchases and charges customers as they exit – removing friction, saving time, and redefining convenience. The rise of frictionless shopping experiences is no longer a futuristic ideal – it’s a strategic response to real consumer needs.

According to recent Mintel and Future Labs report, today’s shoppers expect simplicity, speed, and a sense of emotional ease in their retail interactions. The traditional checkout process is increasingly seen as a barrier – not just to purchase, but to brand engagement. These reports also reveal that over 80% of consumers prioritize making their shopping routines faster and easier, particularly younger shoppers influenced by time-sensitive microtrends. In this context, removing checkout entirely isn’t just a technical improvement – it’s a transformation of the shopper journey itself.

Finally, a decisive shift toward ‘phygital’ environments is identified – blending the physical immediacy of in-store discovery with the intuitive flow of digital UX. Just Walk Out is a clear manifestation of that shift, especially when paired with modular displays, QR-driven tutorials, and guided self-service tools. Together, these point to a future where the best retail environments are not just places to shop – but systems that respond in real time to how people want to move, choose, and feel.

As a certified partner, Array integrates JWO technology into fully customizable turnkey retail solutions. With our deep expertise in designing and producing everything from open-sell fixtures and kiosks to entire store environments, we help brands:

•  Accelerate speed to market with modular, JWO-ready formats
• Elevate the shopper experience by combining frictionless checkout with trend-based discovery zones
• Optimize physical footprints through analytics-backed space planning and fixture placement
• Maintain premium brand storytelling even in high-efficiency or express store formats

Whether launching a new pop-up or scaling a multi-location rollout, Array bridges the gap between innovation and implementation, helping retail teams deliver future-ready environments grounded in operational and shopper realities. “Joining Amazon’s Just Walk Out Certified Partner Network aligns perfectly with our vision for creating scalable, sustainable, and insight-led retail environments,” said DJ Corcoran, Vice President Global Growth & New Sales Development at Array. “As consumer expectations evolve, we’re committed to helping our clients lead – not follow – by designing spaces that are not only seamless and efficient but intelligent and emotionally resonant.”
