Hudson, a Dufry company, is achieving a first in the travel industry.
The travel retailer is rolling out the Amazon One biometric payment solution at its Hudson Nonstop store in Dallas Love Field Airport. Launched in September 2020, Amazon One is a proprietary technology designed to let customers use their unique palm signature to pay or present a loyalty card at a store, as well as perform activities like enter a stadium or badge into work. The solution uses custom-built algorithms and hardware to create a person’s unique palm signature.
Hudson is the first retailer in the travel vertical to deploy the Amazon One platform. The company’s Dallas Love Field Airport store already features a licensed version of Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” contactless shopping technology. Customers using Just Walk Out enter with a swipe of their credit card or using “Tap to Pay,” select the items they are looking for, and then walk out. After they leave, customers are charged for the items they left the store with.
