In a LinkedIn post, Simbe said: “This is an important milestone on our journey to improve visibility across the retail ecosystem.”

“Nearly 70 new ShopRite stores across ShopRite and Inserra Supermarkets stores now leverage our store intelligence to delight shoppers and empower store teams while improving business performance.”
