Focal
Real-time shelf insights and automation for product availability and efficiency.
Focal is an AI-powered computer vision platform for retail that uses in-store cameras to provide real-time shelf visibility and actionable insights. It helps retailers improve product availability, reduce waste, manage inventory, and optimize workforce efficiency. The platform includes a management dashboard called Impact for tracking improvements across stock, replenishment, labor, merchandising, and store compliance.
AI-powered cameras are deployed throughout a store to continuously monitor shelves and generate real-time insights and automated tasks for stock replenishment, compliance, and labor planning.
