Multimodal Store Intelligence Solution for In-Store Visibility

Simbe launched Tally Spot, a fixed sensor data capture solution that complements Tally, Simbe’s 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 more.

“This milestone reflects our customers’ innovation on behalf of shoppers and store associates,” says 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.”

Key takeaways:

• 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.
• Tally Spot is said to be the first and only solution offering multiple data capture methods, combined with its data analytics platform.
