OUR MISSION
Lower the cost of living for all mankind by automating and optimizing Brick and Mortar Retail with the latest advancements in AI
Brick-and-mortar retail is crucial for our daily needs like food, clothes, and toiletries. Unfortunately, retail prices are on the rise due to increasing variable costs such as labor, fuel, and supply chain inefficiencies. Focal's AI can help retailers eliminate over half of these inefficient variable costs, resulting in lower prices for consumers. Focal's mission is to develop affordable automation and AI to optimize retail, improve working conditions, and reduce food waste. Without this, technology-enabled retailers may consolidate, leading to a higher cost of living and reduced quality of life. Join Focal in our mission to lower the cost of living for everyone.
Our Core Values
When we founded Focal Systems in 2015, we recognized that we had the opportunity and responsibility to create the DNA of our company culture, so we began with developing a strong set of mutually agreed upon Core Values.
We gathered in our conference room and put up two posters. On the left, we wrote down everything we didn’t like about companies we’d worked for before. On the right, we listed everything we loved and sought to become.
After hours of brainstorming, discussion and debate, we consolidated everyone’s feedback into the Focal Ten Core Values that have guided us ever since.
We live these values everyday in all that we do. They define how we treat one another, who we recruit hire, and develop, how we lead and manage our work, and how we make key strategic decisions. Our Focal Ten Core Values have guided us during challenging times and will continue to guide us into our shared future.
