Hy-Vee deploys Simbe Robotics Tally solution in US stores
US retailer Hy-Vee has partnered with Simbe Robotics to roll-out its autonomous inventory management and retail intelligence solution, Tally, to five stores across Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.
“We have a strong reputation for excellent customer service and an employee first culture,” says Luke Tingley, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Hy-Vee.
“By employing Tally, we can continue providing that excellent service by reducing out of stocks and empowering our store teams with real-time insights to ensure the best customer experience across the board.”
“No other retail solution supports store teams the way Tally does. The pandemic truly created a ‘new normal’ for grocery that has illuminated the need for a greater frequency and fidelity of in-store data,” says Brad Bogolea, CEO and Co-Founder, Simbe Robotics.
“Hy-Vee is the perfect example of thoughtfully adopting technology to improve the store experience for both customers and their teams.”
“As retailers face a growing number of considerations, Tally provides a cost-effective solution that ensures they can continue to provide excellent customer service and create a valuable, more enjoyable working environment for their employees.”
Schnuck Markets
Following the introduction of Tally in select stores, Schnuck Markets recently announced a multi-year, full scale roll-out at 111 locations across the US.
It said that this made it the first grocer in the world to utilise AI powered inventory management technology at scale.
Schnucks first piloted Tally in July 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.
