Work Smarter
Not Harder
Your store teams waste hundreds of hours per month scanning shelves, hunting for inventory, and moving boxes from inventory to the sales floor and back. Focal cuts your wasted work and helps you redeploy those hours to the tasks that count: replenishing products, assisting customers, and driving sales.
Maximize Efficiency, Streamline Operations
Focal helps retailers optimize their daily operations by using real-time data to automate and prioritize critical tasks. Our solutions ensure that your team is always working on the most important tasks, minimizing downtime and boosting productivity. By integrating AI-driven insights with efficient task management, Focal transforms store operations, allowing you to focus on strategic growth.
Skip The (Manual) Scan!
Most stores spend hundreds of hours scanning store shelves per month, yet still only capture partial data only once or twice per day (at most). Focal clients scan every product on every shelf every hour every day with >95% accuracy and spend ZERO hours doing it thanks to Shelf AI. Those saved hours can go straight to the bottom line or be redeployed to value-added tasks that boost sales and customer satisfaction.
Avoid Wasted Effort
Store teams spend hundreds of hours per month stocking shelves. Far too many of those hours are wasted searching for inventory not actually in the store or in an unexpected location. Still more hours are wasted bringing stock from the warehouse to the sales floor and then back again when case packs don’t fit on shelves. Focal cuts the waste by mapping inventory and product locations, correcting balance-on-hand records, and letting workers reverse scan case packs to see if they will fit before bringing them to the sales floor.
Optimize Your Work
Focal’s Action Tool automatically prioritizes and assigns store tasks based on retailer priority, whether to prevent lost sales, enforce planogram compliance, prevent missed ecommerce picks, maintain promotional item availability, or for some other criteria. Priority tasks are then grouped by location in store to get the most out of each visit to the warehouse or aisle and adjusted in real time based on shelf condition and inventory delivery. And Focal never assigns a replenishment task when there is zero inventory in the system. Our clients see a 150% improvement or more in stockkeeping efficiency.
Don't "Pick" An Out-Of-Stock
Every day, stores disappoint customers by selling items online that aren’t actually on shelves. To make matters worse, they send workers on a hunt for products they can’t find. Focal connects your ecommerce system to real-world shelves in near-real-time so you can avoid selling products not on hand and so you can prioritize replenishment if they are. And Focal will take your order pickers straight to the right product, eliminating any confusion over product availability.
