Dynamic task automation streamlines store staff workflows, prioritising tasks to improve operational efficiency and productivity among store associates.
Pricer and Focal Systems have announced a partnership focused on accelerating the digitisation and optimisation of physical retail stores.
This brings together Pricer’s dynamic pricing and shelf-edge communication expertise with Focal Systems’ computer vision and product availability solutions.
By integrating Focal Systems’ AI powered shelf vision cameras with Pricer’s electronic shelf label (ESL) platform, retailers will benefit from real-time shelf insights, which power automated detection and alerting of out-of-stock or low items to achieve rapid replenishment.
Meanwhile, dynamic task automation from the combined solution streamlines store staff workflows, prioritising tasks to improve operational efficiency and productivity among store associates, with patented camera-based out-of-stock detection and communication solutions optimising replenishment, as well as delivering shelf-edge intelligence to support in-store analytics.
“We are proud to combine our leadership in ESL technology with Focal Systems’ AI powered shelf vision,” said Chris Chalkitis, CDO at Pricer. “Both companies share a belief in the digitalisation of the physical store. Pricer has been a pioneer in dynamic pricing and shelf-edge communication. With Focal Systems, we take the next step, digitising what’s on the shelf – and what’s not – to drive greater efficiency and performance for retailers.”
“Partnering with Pricer, a global leader with groundbreaking ESL technology and innovation, creates tremendous value for retailers,” said Kevin H. Johnson, CEO at Focal Systems. “Together, we deliver an integrated, data-driven solution that reduces operational complexity, automates workflows and enhances the in-store experience. We look forward to demonstrating this powerful collaboration to retailers and their customers.”
