Simbe Robotics provides autonomous robots that improve inventory management and store operations in the retail sector. Their main product, Tally, is equipped with advanced sensors that allow it to navigate store aisles, identify out-of-stock items, and verify that products are correctly placed and priced. Tally gathers extensive data, which is analyzed by Simbe's backend system to offer valuable insights to retailers. This helps stores minimize losses, optimize shelf space, and enhance customer satisfaction. Unlike many competitors, Simbe focuses on both the sale and leasing of its robots, as well as offering data analytics services, making it a comprehensive solution for retail operations.
