Homebase USA deployed two Simbe Store Intelligence platforms, powered by the Simbe Tally shelf-scanning AMR, at a Texas and Wyoming location.
Home improvement retailer HomeBase USA has introduced Simbe’s Store Intelligence platform - powered by Tally, the autonomous shelf-scanning robot, Tally - to locations in Texas and Wyoming.
Simbe stated that stores like HomeBase have expansive footprints and tens of thousands of SKUs across various categories, including lumber, building supplies, hardware, farm, ranch and lawn & garden.
Keeping shelves stocked with the right items, in the right place, at the right price - across fixtures like hooks, bins, top stock and bulk - is complex and ripe for automation, according to the San Francisco-based robotics company.
Simbe’s Tally robot captures real-time, shelf-level data on product availability, pricing and placement. The company said this empowers store teams to act faster and with greater accuracy.
Simbe said that as a result of Tally and Store Intelligence deployments, organizations can see fewer out-of-stocks, more efficient labor and a smoother, more satisfying customer experience.
“Getting inventory right is fundamental to our business, and with Tally, we’re equipping our teams with the insights they need to succeed,” says Mark Dremel, district manager at HomeBase USA. “This pilot is an exciting step toward improving both operational performance and the in-store experience, and we’re eager to see Tally’s impact as we look to scale.”
Simbe said retail store teams often spend up to 30 hours per week on manual inventory tasks, which are time-consuming and error-prone.
Tally automates these responsibilities, scanning shelves multiple times a day to identify out-of-stocks, pricing errors and misplaced items. The data is instantly available to store teams through a mobile app and dashboard, which prioritizes the most important items to address.
With Tally’s help, teams can proactively address issues before they affect sales and spend more time serving shoppers. Simbe reports that 90% of store managers say Tally makes their jobs easier, and 99% of shoppers are as or more likely to shop again after seeing robots in-store.
