KEASBEY, NJ & SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Wakefern Food Corp. has announced its expansion in a key partnership. The cooperative will be extending its engagement with Simbe Robotics, implementing its business intelligence solution to additional ShopRite stores after a successful pilot.
“Tally has proven to be the ideal shelf-intelligence solution for our members as it’s been able to roll right into our technology ecosystem, sending real-time shelf condition data directly to retail associates’ handheld devices,” said Charles J. McWeeney, Vice President, Technology, Innovation, and Strategy at Wakefern. “With timely, consistent, and accurate product data from Tally, our in-store mobile application presents a prioritized aisle-by-aisle inventory work list to the store associates, ensuring they invest their time in the most meaningful and valuable services for our customers.”
Over the past several months, noted the release, Wakefern fully vetted Simbe’s comprehensive platform in more than 20 stores to ensure that its technology solution seamlessly integrated into store environments and optimized inventory management.
Wakefern first began integrating Simbe’s business intelligence solution, powered by Tally, to drive inventory optimization at the stores and help retail associates do more impactful, customer-facing work.
“With our business intelligence solution, Wakefern has real-time visibility into shelf health at a frequency and fidelity that cannot be found anywhere else on the market,” said Brad Bogolea, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Simbe. “This consistent access to deep, precise insights has empowered Wakefern and its members' store teams to further improve the exceptional shopping experience their customers expect by keeping shelves fully stocked. We look forward to continuing to enhance the experience for store teams and shoppers alike.”
