How FocalOS works?

Focal takes the power of self-driving cars and unleashes it in retail to automate and optimize your stores.

01

Tiny, ruggedized Shelf Cameras digitize your sales-floor, backroom, and top-stock hourly

Shelf camera for digitizing store inventory items

Focal has developed a ruggedized, cost effective, battery-powered, wifi-camera that scans your shelves hourly, allowing you to know exactly what is on your shelf all throughout the day.

Focal installs your entire store in one night, and the next day they are powering your store. Focal then manages the cameras for you, so you never have to touch a thing. We guarantee >99% uptime.

02

Focal’s AI accurately detects ins, outs, lows, missing price tags, spoiled produce, and more

Hourly history of changes in stock on shelves

Trained on over 2.5 billion labeled images from global retailers around the world, Focal has the most accurate Computer Vision on the market. These models remove PII, then accurately monitor store inventory, restock events, and spoiled produce every hour. This data powers other applications and can generate picklists in Action Tool or instant orders. It also tracks associate productivity per hour.

FocalOS runs your store for you with higher employee satisfaction and EBITDA

FocalOS takes in hourly shelf digitization data and your sales data, then automatically produces optimal orders, labor schedules, task lists for associates, and per store planograms. FocalOS also measures productivity and compliance for each associate, and tells you where to focus your attention. Finally, Focal Store Walk allows management to teleport in at any time and visually see what your customers see when they go to your store.

Works right out of the box, no integration needed.

Our first Core Value is to be the
best partner that you work with

To transform your stores with AI, you need more than just great AI, you need a great partner.

One that listens to you, that works with you and your team until the ROI is achieved at scale, and then some. You need a partner that is thinking holistically about your stores, not just one piece of the puzzle. You need a thought-leader, that can educate your team on all that AI can do for your stores, and what it can’t, so you can avoid the snake-oil out there, and thrive with the best AI on the market.

Our goal is to be that partner for you.

That is why we wrote “AI for Retail”, to educate retailers around the world about what AI can do for you, and how to develop and execute an AI Strategy to transform your stores and double EBITDA.

Our mission is to lower the cost of living for all mankind by deploying AI so powerful, it allows all retailers to lower their prices for their customers.

We do this by building solutions that double stocker productivity, cut food waste in half and optimize the use of every square inch of shelf space in your store.

2X to 10X
Faster Stocking

Most Retailers work backroom inventory by bringing everything from the backroom to the salesfloor to see if it can fit. With Focal Action Tool, we allow stockers to “teleport” to the salesfloor to see if it can fit before taking it out, saving them half or more of their time.

Reduce Food Waste
by 84%

Produce Managers typically order 1 to 2X PAR everyday. However, this does not “adjust” for on-shelf availability or shrink. With Focal’s AI-powered AdaOrder, we automate this order producing orders that are far more accurate, and reduce food waste while increasing sales.

Reduced Operating
Costs

FocalOS automates ordering and doubles stocker productivity.

Reduce Retail’s
Carbon Footprint

Since Retail accounts for over a third of all food waste in the world, Retail also accounts for a significant percentage of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Emissions. AdaOrder allows retailers to cut 84% of this food waste, and thereby 84% of their GHG Emissions.

Happier
Employees

Stockers are tired of using technology and SOPs that are older than them. Our UI/UX team built FocalOS with the stockers in mind. Stockers love our system. It is easy to learn, and fun to use. And most importantly, it gives credit to the A-players that deserve it!
