What is the robot at Schnucks?
Tally is the only retail robot certified by UL 3300 to operate safely in public spaces. It travels the aisles multiple times a day, spotting what is out of stock, mispriced, or in the wrong place. Tally passes that information on to the store team so they can invest more time helping shoppers. Schnucks rolled Tally out to all stores in 2021, a first for any grocer in the world.
