If you’ve shopped at Harris Farm Markets recently, you may have noticed a small but powerful innovation quietly transforming the way shopping trolleys are managed. It’s called sMart Track, and it’s already making waves in select Harris Farm stores across New South Wales and Queensland.
For shoppers, trolleys are something you grab, fill, and return without much thought. But for retailers, trolley management is a daily challenge. Lost trolleys, damaged assets, and the ongoing costs of recovery are all part of the picture. That’s where TDMN’s sMart Track trolley tracking technology comes in.
The Little Known Feature Making a Big Impact
sMart Track is a discreet GPS-enabled tracking system fitted to shopping trolleys. It allows Harris Farm Markets to:
- Pinpoint trolley locations in real time
- Reduce trolley loss and theft
- Improve collection efficiency for staff
- Streamline cart management across multiple sites
The technology works by transmitting live location data through TDMN’s secure network, giving store teams a complete picture of when their trolleys are abandoned in the community at any given time.
This means if a trolley is abandoned outside store grounds, it can be quickly recovered, cutting down retrieval times, reducing replacement costs, and preventing environmental and community impacts.
Why Harris Farm Markets Is Ahead of the Game
Harris Farm has always been known for its fresh produce and commitment to sustainability, but with sMart Track, they’ve taken another step forward in operational efficiency.
The adoption of GPS trolley tracking aligns with the company’s focus on reducing waste, lowering operational costs, and ensuring customers always have access to clean, ready-to-use trolleys.
The Bigger Picture for Trolley Management
Lost and abandoned trolleys cost Australian retailers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Traditional solutions like coin locks and wheel locks and clamps often fail to adapt to modern shopping behaviours, especially with retailers still lose 50-60% of their trolleys annually
sMart Track changes the game. It’s not just cart tracking; it’s cart management done smarter:
- Real time GPS tracking of abandoned trolleys in the community
- Custom alerts for trolleys outside set boundaries
- Data analytics to optimise collection routes and asset utilisation
For Harris Farm Markets, the benefits go beyond cost savings, it’s about creating a seamless customer experience and supporting sustainability goals.
TDMN’s sMart Lock & Track system is available to retailers, shopping centres, and transport hubs looking to take control of their trolley fleets. To learn more about how GPS trolley tracking and sMart cart management can benefit your business, contact our team today.
