Turn Retail’s Blind Spot into Your Competitive Advantage

The store shelf is retail’s biggest blind spot. While billions have flowed into e-commerce and supply chain tech, the physical store has remained under-instrumented, under-measured, and under-leveraged. That’s changing fast. In "From Blind Spots to Breakthroughs: The Store Intelligence Imperative", Simbe lays out why shelf intelligence is no longer optional; it’s central to performance, visibility, and growth.

What's Inside the Guide
  • The real-time intelligence gap holding back store execution and shopper experience

  • A clear map of the retail tech landscape, including what drives results vs. adds complexity

  • Why nearly 60% of retailers plan to invest in store automation in 2025

  • A practical, phased roadmap, from shelf visibility to AI-powered pricing, personalization, and merchandising

Why It Matters Now
Despite massive investments elsewhere, in-store inefficiencies still cost retailers an average of 5.5% in gross sales each year. Most stores lack real-time visibility into shelf conditions, leading to stockouts, pricing errors, and missed revenue opportunities. With labor costs rising and margin pressure mounting, store intelligence is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s the key to staying competitive in today’s market.
