Is This the Wave of the Future for Inventory Management?

As we know, managing inventory properly can possibly make or break a retailer’s sales and profit goals. So, retailers should be as efficient and accurate as possible in their inventory management efforts.  Nonetheless, many retailers rely on physical inventory counts done by humans, which can result in errors.
With that in mind, consider the Tally automated system, from Simbe Robotics:
“Tally is the world’s first robotic autonomous shelf auditing and analytics solution. The solution consists of one or more mobile robots that can autonomously traverse large brick-and-mortar retail environments to capture, report, and analyze the state and availability of merchandise and help ensure compliance with the store’s planogram [planned layout of merchandise] – the ideal placement of products on shelves in order to maximize sales. Tally performs the repetitive and laborious tasks of auditing shelves for out-of-stock items, low stock items, misplaced items, and pricing errors. Tally operates safely during normal store hours alongside shoppers and employees.”
Take a look at the YouTube video to learn more about Tally.
