Simbe unveils Tally Spot
Simbe is debuting Tally Spot, a fixed sensor data capture solution that complements Tally, Simbe’s autonomous mobile robot.
Tally Spot was developed as an extension of Tally to support higher-frequency scans in specific sections of the store, and provides an added layer of visibility into high-turnover and high-risk sales areas, like fresh/produce, prepared foods, alcohol and even bottom of basket at checkout.

As Tally builds an accurate map of the store, using computer vision and RFID to simultaneously identify and analyze products, Tally Spot extends more frequent, targeted monitoring to specific areas, like high-turnover (fresh/produce, meats, prepared foods), high-theft (alcohol, cold medicine, checkout) and high-value (luxury goods) zones.
"As the first and only solution offering multiple data capture methods, combined with its robust data analytics platform, Simbe is redefining how in-store visibility can drive immediate, strategic decision-making. Together, these solutions deliver complete, always-on insights across every corner of the store, allowing Simbe customers to collect integrated, actionable inventory data wherever and whenever they need it most," the company said.
“This milestone reflects our customers’ innovation on behalf of shoppers and store associates,” said Brad Bogolea, co-founder and CEO of Simbe. “As the impact of Simbe’s technology grows, our retail partners are eager to further enhance operational excellence in-store and online. We’re excited to launch Tally Spot as an extension of Tally and an expression of our long-term vision to power the single source of truth for in-store intelligence.”
