Focal Systems’ platform helps retailers cut shelf scanning costs in half by switching from manual to automated shelf scans. The solution is based on low-cost, discrete shelf cameras, a sophisticated computer vision model, and a cloud-based machine learning platform that is tuned for complex retail environments. By providing automated, real-time insight into on-shelf product availability, retailers can repurpose store personnel to focus on customer experience and other higher value tasks. In addition, the real-time data captured by the shelf cameras feeds into Focal Systems’ AI engine, which can help automate and optimize product availability and merchandising decisions. These optimizations have proven to save up to 50% on manual shelf scanning costs and significantly improve in-store customer experience via higher product availability, which generates a 3-5% increase in sales compared to baseline stores. Focal Systems’ platform is deployable at scale and will provide impactful results.
