In June 2025, FPG launched the Store of Tomorrow (SOT) programme in partnership with Google Cloud.
The SOT programme aimed to reinvent retail experiences through piloting 20 digital solutions a year.
On 23 April, FPG announced that these digital innovations, built with Google Cloud AI, would be implemented in the FairPrice supermarkets across Singapore.
Among the headline features are AI-powered shopping carts integrated with Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise Agent platform.

These smart trolleys can guide shoppers through aisles and recommend personalised promotions based on items in their cart.
Additionally, the cart allows customers to scan and pay for products while shopping.

FPG said trials at FairPrice Punggol Coast Mall reduced average checkout times to just 36 seconds.
The smart carts are expected to be deployed at 48 FairPrice Xtra and FairPrice Finest outlets by end-2026.
FPG will also replace traditional printed price tags with digital displays that provide real-time pricing and promotional updates.

The move is expected to reduce paper usage and lower the company’s carbon footprint.
These displays will also feature “dynamic product visuals” powered by AI.
Customers can expect these digital price tags to be implemented across 48 outlets by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, FairPrice Punggol Coast Mall and FairPrice Parc Point currently have ShopBeyond, which connects physical displays with the online catalogue of related products.
On the operations side, FPG will introduce an AI-enabled mobile app called “Grocer Genie” for store staff.
The app will feature “AI-powered analysis” on metrics such as sales, inventory, and customer satisfaction.

Different outlets will receive a curated mix of these solutions, tailored to their specific needs.
