Simbe has launched Tally Spot, a breakthrough fixed sensor data capture solution that complements Tally, Simbe’s market-leading autonomous mobile robot.
Developed as an extension of Tally to support higher-frequency scans in specific sections of the store, Tally Spot provides an added layer of visibility into high-turnover and higher-risk sales areas, like fresh produce, prepared foods, alcohol and even bottom-of-basket at checkout.
Automated store intelligence has become an essential tool for retailer success across sectors, store sizes and technological maturity. Leading wholesalers like BJ’s Wholesale Club and innovative grocers like Schnuck Markets and Wakefern Food Corp. are increasingly investing in AI-powered solutions like Simbe’s to improve the store experience for shoppers and associates while setting a new standard for operational excellence.
Since introducing its autonomous item-scanning robot, Tally, Simbe has met rising demand for in-store intelligence, refining and expanding its solutions for retailers in multiple industries and continents – first through Tally’s computer vision and RFID, and now through fixed sensors with the introduction of Tally Spot.
As Tally builds a precise map of the store, using computer vision and RFID to simultaneously identify and analyze products, Tally Spot extends more frequent, targeted monitoring to specific areas, like high-turnover (fresh produce, meats, prepared foods), high-theft (alcohol, cold medicine, checkout) and high-value (luxury goods) zones.
Simbe said its solutions deliver complete, always-on insights across every corner of the store, allowing Simbe customers to collect integrated, actionable inventory data wherever and whenever they need it most.
“This milestone reflects our customers’ innovation on behalf of shoppers and store associates,” said Brad Bogolea, co-founder and CEO of Simbe. “As the impact of Simbe’s technology grows, our retail partners are eager to further enhance operational excellence in-store and online. We’re excited to launch Tally Spot as an extension of Tally and an expression of our long-term vision to power the single source of truth for in-store intelligence.”
