Our innovative Shelf Operating System (SHELF-OS) empowers retail operators to enhance their profit margins while simultaneously boosting customer satisfaction levels. By utilizing real-time data on on-shelf inventory, we initiate targeted actionable workflows designed to address and monitor necessary corrective actions. Retailers frequently face the issue of product overstock, particularly with items that do not rotate well, resulting in an estimated loss of 2-4% in sales per store. The IHL Group’s recent findings indicate that out-of-stock (OOS) situations combined with overstocks cost North American retailers approximately $253 billion. Our approach includes continuous non-invasive data collection through advanced 3D sensor cameras, offering real-time stock audits that indicate whether inventory levels are full, low, or out of stock. We ensure adherence to planogram standards, verify product pricing, and oversee merchandising services, while also conducting audits on point-of-purchase marketing. With automated task alerts for refacing and replenishment, we facilitate seamless communication among team members, including associates, managers, and service providers, using SMS and WhatsApp. Additionally, we provide a prioritized task list for alerts, ensuring that critical operational needs are addressed efficiently. Ultimately, SHELF-OS revolutionizes retail management by integrating technology to streamline processes and enhance the shopping experience.
