Focal

Monitor Compliance

Like Never Before

Focal makes the impossible possible. For the first time, you can monitor every product in every aisle of every store. All day, every day. Focal spots compliance issues the hour they happen and assigns corrective measures immediately.

Maximize Availability, Minimize Stockouts

In retail, availability is everything. Focal Systems’ AI-powered solutions ensure that products are always on the shelf when customers need them. Our real-time shelf monitoring and automated replenishment systems prevent out-of-stock situations, ensuring that stock gaps are identified and resolved instantly. With Focal, you can guarantee optimal product availability, reducing lost sales and enhancing the customer experience.

Make A Virtual Audit With Store Walk

Imagine sitting in London and deciding to check on the execution of a new promotion in the beverage department in Gibraltar. With Focal’s virtual Store Walk, you can access the most recent or time-lapsed images of any section of any store in your network. Tour by department, by geography, most compliant department, least compliant. Whatever you need to see, Focal can show you. If something is out of compliance, you can assign corrective action to any member of the store team.

Improve Store Presentability

Even with the convenience of Focal’s Virtual Store Walk, it is impossible for even the most sharp-eyed retail leaders to see every problem in every section of every store. For that reason, Focal created its client-configurable Presentability Score to combine POG compliance, product availability, and overall display completeness and neatness into a single metric. Our Presentability Score can then be used to recognize and reward strong performance or trigger corrective action.

Improve POG Compliance Every Day

As Focal’s Shelf AI scans every product in the store every day it also evaluates planogram compliance along multiple dimensions, identifying additional or missing shelves & facings, products in the wrong location, and even mixed bulk products. Corrective action can automatically be triggered and prioritized, based on store preference, to bring a section back into compliance. 

Improve Stocker Compliance Every Day

While identifying out-of-stock items and managing replenishment tasks, Focal’s Shelf AI also evaluates stockkeeper performance. In addition to tracking worker productivity, Focal also tracks all “false restocks” (worker says they restocked but did not), “false resets” (worker says they reset a planogram but did not), and “false failed picks” (worker says item was not available but it was). Focal’s compliance reports provide the best tool you have ever seen to target retraining to specific individuals and tasks.
