SmartVendor Brings Autonomous Retail to the Czech Parliament; Clears Europe's Toughest Privacy Bar with SHEKEL WeightAI(TM)23.9.2026 11:20:00 CEST | Press release

Full GDPR compliance by design. The installation, deployed by SmartVendor on the Innovendi Elite platform, marks one of the first deployments of an autonomous AI-powered retail solution inside a major state institution in the Czech Republic.
