Power Your Store

With Shelf AI

Think it’s impossible to increase availability and sales while simultaneously lowering costs? Think again – this time with the help of artificial intelligence.

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.

Knowledge Is Power

If you are still relying on an occasional store walk to know your store condition and worker performance, you are practically operating in the dark. If manual shelf and product scans are how you determine product availability and planogram compliance, you know almost nothing at all. With Shelf AI, you can know your store like never before.

Unprecedented Insight

Focal’s Shelf AI interprets five million images per day to help clients know exactly what’s happening in their stores every hour. Our proprietary artificial intelligence engine interprets the data captured by our cameras to identify products that are in versus out versus low so you see true product availability the same way your customers do. Our model spots mismatches between corporate planograms and what’s actually on store shelves (or not).

Unlimited Reach

You know what good looks like… exactly how a shelf or section should be stocked and arranged for maximum appeal. The problem is that you can’t visit every store and spot every problem in every section every day. But with Focal you can. Using our Store Walk technology, you can visit any aisle, any section, any shelf in any store to see how it looked any hour of the day.

Consistent Comparison

Even though Store Walk makes it easy to look at every aisle of every store, you don’t have to…. Focal’s Shelf AI not only identifies products that are out of stock or low and planograms that are out of compliance but also sections that just don’t look right. Whether they are messy, or have different products mixed together, or too much empty space, Focal Shelf AI automatically identifies every presentability problem and scores every section just the way you would using our client-configurable Presentability Score.
