Retailer’s lives are about to change, thanks to a new Store Intelligence product update from Simbe Robotics.

The first solution, Simbe Mobile, is a customizable app that gives store teams access to Simbe’s Store Intelligence platform on any device. It offers prioritized inventory and pricing tasks, near real-time data analytics, planogram compliance.

The second solution, Simbe Virtual Tour, allows retailers to view their stores remotely with unmatched depth and frequency. 

This feature provides insights to optimize store layouts and make strategic decisions, saving resources while maintaining store operations and product presentation standards.

Why does this matter? Simbe’s product gives top retailers insight into store and inventory conditions. 

Simbe Robotics’ solution for retailers 

Simbe Robotics specializes in providing autonomous robots and Store Intelligence™ solutions for retail environments. 

Their technology helps retailers improve inventory management, operational efficiency, and in-store customer experience by using robots to scan shelves, monitor stock levels, and gather real-time data. This allows retailers to optimize their operations, reduce out-of-stock items, and enhance overall store performance.

Greg Buzek, founder, president and principal analyst of IHL Group says: “Retailers have, historically, relied on costly capture services to take one-time snapshots of stores on an annual basis. At the same time, we know store teams across retail sectors yearn for more advanced, user-friendly tools that drive efficiency and effectiveness in day-to-day store operations.” 

Virtual tour features 

Picture this: You have a retail store owner and you have a busy week, and can’t be onsite all the time. Remote access may be your answer. Here are some capability features:  

Comprehensive virtual store navigation: Simbe Virtual Tour offers a complete virtual view of stores, saving retailers time and travel costs. It aids in advanced operational planning, troubleshooting, and optimizing product merchandising and stocking strategies.

Enhanced remote monitoring: Simbe Virtual Tour revolutionizes store monitoring with frequent, autonomous interior scans, turning costly annual checks into continuous, cost-effective oversight.

Detailed visual views: Using Tally, Simbe captures detailed snapshots and time-lapses of each aisle at multiple heights, giving retailers diverse views and a near real-time understanding of store and shelf conditions.
