The Retail Challenge
Disconnected Stores Can’t Compete in a Connected World
-
Limited visibility into shelf, inventory, and store activity
Retailers often lack real-time, location-specific insights into what’s on the shelf, what’s out of stock, and what associates or shoppers are doing—making it hard to react quickly and optimize operations.
-
Inefficient store operations driven by manual, reactive processes
Without automated workflows or intelligent tasking, associates spend time on low-impact tasks, while key issues—like stockouts or planogram non-compliance—go unnoticed.
-
Disconnected shopper journeys that lack personalization
Unlike e-commerce, in-store experiences rarely adapt in real time to shopper behavior or location, leading to missed opportunities to engage, convert, and build loyalty.
-
Disjointed tech investments that quickly become obsolete
Retailers face risk and complexity when adopting new solutions across large store fleets—especially when systems don’t scale, integrate, or evolve with changing business priorities.
EdgeSense is the backbone of connected retail.
