A shopping mall or a supermarket is a first choice for buying all necessary products, and that is why it attracts more customers than the retail shop. But the problem is it creates too many hurdles for customer and owner to maintain the order and keep sync with the time at billing. The normal billing and shopping system lacks the time saving approach. Also, it doesn't have proper security arrangements to avoid theft and duplication. To overcome this issue, the authors developed a smart way for shopping using LabVIEW incorporated with internet of things (IoT). Each and every product contains an RFID tag. The smart trolley will consist of a RFID reader, transmitter, and ZigBee unit. Along with this, the cart is equipped with the child monitor unit. The whole system is controlled by utilizing the controller developed using LabVIEW. The ZigBee module attached in the cart is responsible for sending the bill to the main billing system, and IoT feature is also enabled so that shopping-bill of each customer is mailed to their respective mail-id through esp8266 Wi-Fi module.
