AI-Enhanced Robotics

Simbe's retailer partners can now give their vendors daily intel on SKU-level shelf availability and out of stocks, promotional execution and product performance trends.

ShopRite stores are using Tally, Simbe’s autonomous item-scanning robot, to enhance inventory and operation insights.

While retailers are increasingly leveraging technology to enhance the in-store experience and address labor challenges, investments in micro-fulfillment centers have slowed slightly.

After a successful pilot, SpartanNash will expand the use of Simbe's autonomous inventory robot, Tally, at 60 additional stores.

Marty the robot's data enhancements enable it to flag out-of-stocks and detect misplaced items. The grocer has also begun leveraging Marty outside of the store to interact with customers and support cause campaigns.

Recent retail news includes Walmart releasing its annual Top Toys list, and Ace Hardware growing its store count.

Following a 20-store pilot, Wakefern will bring Tally robots to more ShopRite stores as a way to reduce out-of-stock rates and free up associates' time for other tasks.

The club chain is partnering with Simbe Robotics to deploy Tally robots across its 237-club footprint.

The c-store chain has opened its first Jamba by Blendid AI-powered robotic kiosk in Williams, California.
