Put AI To Work
In All Your Stores
Even the world’s greatest insights are worthless without action. Fortunately, Focal makes AI actionable at all levels of your operations: stock keeping, replenishment, ordering, staff management, labor planning, merchandising, planogram design and compliance, ecommerce, and store/region/estate management.
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.
Availability That Drives Loyalty
The #1 reason shoppers leave without buying is out-of-stock items, with 30% going to competitors. By automating shelf monitoring, retailers can reduce stockouts, improve efficiency, and maximize revenue—ensuring customers always find what they need.
Core Tasks Made Intuitive
Focal’s Action Tool puts advanced AI at the fingertips of your entire store team. Tasks are made clear with real world pictures as well as planograms. Products and tasks are mapped to each store location, and each task is confirmed with a single click. Training is quick and easy, and Action Tool makes your newest workers as effective as your veterans.
Continuous Optimization
Action Tool assigns tasks based on priorities – be it recouping lost sales, ensuring promo items are stocked, fulfilling ecomm orders, planogram compliance, or simply minimizing labor. Action Tool’s second order prioritization groups tasks by location to minimize wasted movement in store and warehouse. And Action Tool assigns only workable tasks, not asking workers to replenish shelves with inventory that hasn’t arrived or to put a full case on a shelf that only has room for part.
Connect Work To Value
Action Tool lets workers see the impact their tasks are having, calculating and displaying a revenue value for every task. Workers and managers can see the leaderboard for their store to know where individuals rank to celebrate high performers and retrain low performers.
Real-Time Inventory
Inventory records rarely match reality when Focal begins working with a store. Each store carries thousands of dollars of non-existent inventory, while missing an equal amount of product still on shelves or in top or back stock. Action Tool helps workers identify the errors and correct them in real time, dramatically improving inventory accuracy and reducing inventory carrying costs.
