Instacart has begun new partnerships with two point-of-sale (POS) providers: DUMAC Business Systems and TRUNO Retail Technology Solutions.
Through these new partnerships, DUMAC and TRUNO will offer Caper Carts – Instacart’s AI-powered smart carts – to their grocer networks, providing end-to-end POS integration from sales through implementation.
Caper Carts transform the in-store shopping experience by letting customers automatically scan items as they shop, track spending for budget management and easily access discounts on the cart. DUMAC and TRUNO provide a turnkey service, including Caper Cart referrals, implementation, maintenance and ongoing technical support – creating a path for grocers to bring smart carts to their stores.
“Grocers are the backbone of communities across the U.S., and we’re committed to getting them the tools and technology they need to succeed,” said Nick Nickitas, general manager of local independent grocery at Instacart.
“By teaming up with established POS leaders like DUMAC and TRUNO, we’re making it easier than ever for grocers of all sizes to partner with Instacart, unlocking a modern shopping experience with Caper Carts while serving their communities.”
This partnership also opens up opportunities to bring additional Instacart Connected Stores technologies to independent retailers, including FoodStorm and Carrot Tags.

By offering Caper Carts as part of our retail technology portfolio, we’re helping grocers enhance their stores and compete effectively in the evolving retail landscape.”
TRUNO President Steven Watters shared, “TRUNO has long been at the forefront of retail technology solutions, and we’re proud to now offer Instacart’s Caper Carts to our retail partners. As we actively roll out this technology across our network, we’re making it possible for independent retailers to provide seamless, AI-powered shopping experiences that drive customer loyalty and business growth. Our deep implementation expertise combined with Instacart’s innovation creates an exciting new offering for the retailers we serve.”
