x-hoppers Unveils Advanced AI Upgrades to its Smart Retail Communication Suite

By combining hands-free headsets, AI-powered theft detection and real-time automation tools, x-hoppers helps retailers cut shrink, improve team coordination and deliver faster, safer in-store experiences. Built for the pace of frontline work, it replaces disconnected tools with one seamless solution, supporting associates and elevating the customer journey, from stockroom to checkout.

Retailers attending the Retail Technology Show (April 2-3, ExCeL London, Booth C40) will be the first to experience these innovations, already proven to reduce shrink by 60% and detect up to 26 theft incidents per store daily, all before they escalate.

"Retail doesn’t slow down and neither can technology," said Graham Dixon, CTO, x-hoppers. "That’s why our team pushes continuous updates across AI, automation and usability. x-hoppers isn’t just a product, it’s a growing ecosystem designed to meet the changing pace of store life. Every feature we add is tested in real-world environments to ensure it works for retailers, not the other way around.”
