Schnuck Markets, Inc. will deploy Simbe Robotics’ Tally robots to all 111 Schnucks locations across the U.S. Schnucks first piloted Tally in July of 2017 and expanded to additional stores in 2018 and 2020.
Tally traverses store aisles up to three times per day and autonomously captures on-shelf data including inventory position, price accuracy, and promotional execution.
The grocer said this will give it even greater visibility into store conditions, with deeper levels of business insights as it prepares to adjust to the quickly-evolving landscape of a post-pandemic world.
“We are facing a ‘new normal’ in the grocery industry, and Tally has been instrumental to ensuring we continue to provide an exceptional store experience while rising to meet new operational challenges,” said Dave Steck, vice president of IT infrastructure and application development at Schnucks, in a statement. “By deploying Tally to all stores, we are fully operationalizing these insights into our supply chain and expanding our ability to leverage real-time data to make revenue impacting decisions. Tally has become an integral component of our stores, streamlining operations and ultimately creating a better store experience for our customers and teammates.”
