Handwave - AI-Powered Palm Recognition Platform for Frictionless Payments, Age Verification & Loyalty Handwave transforms in-store transactions with AI-powered palm recognition—delivering the fastest, most secure way to pay, verify age, and activate loyalty rewards with just a wave of the hand. We provide both the software and hardware your shop needs to make it happen. For Merchants • Faster checkouts: Up to 8× faster than traditional methods—cut queues, serve more customers, and increase daily transaction volume. • Higher basket sizes: Instant loyalty activation means more loyalty purchases and no missed data points, giving you richer insights to optimize operations. • Lower operational friction: No cards, phones, or IDs to handle—reducing POS bottlenecks, saving on OPEX, and freeing staff for higher-value tasks. • Seamless integration: Works with existing POS systems; fully PCI-DSS, global privacy standards (including GDPR in Europe and CCPA/CPRA in the U.S.), and Visa/Mastercard compliant. For Shoppers • No wallet. No phone. Just handwave. • Always connected to rewards: Points, discounts, and offers apply automatically—no apps or barcodes to scan. • Effortless age verification: Instantly purchase alcohol, tobacco, or other age-restricted items with one scan. • Maximum security: Three layers of biometric protection—palm geometry & lines, vein structure, and liveness checks—making it safer than facial scans or fingerprints. Why Meet Us at Groceryshop? Perfectly aligned with the “Retail Alchemy” theme, Handwave turns operational complexity into customer magic—shortening checkout times, boosting loyalty engagement, and modernizing compliance. We’ll be in Las Vegas September 28–October 1—let’s connect to see how palm recognition can grow revenue, delight customers, and streamline operations from day one.
