Enjoy sales increases due to improved customer experience. Staff can focus on providing personalized customer service, vs. scanning products at the checkout.
Since all inventory is tracked, both customers and retailers know exactly what item is on each shelf in real-time, and Zippin provides out-of-stock alerts.
Restocking is easier than ever. Store staff or DSD suppliers just walk in and place products on shelves. Zippin provides verification and stock transfer automatically.
Retailers get detailed analytics, including time spent looking at a product, whether a shopper looked at marketing signage, products picked or put back, etc.
Retailers save on store operating costs and see a dramatic increase in margins, as they don't need to dedicate manpower and expensive real estate to checkout.
Operating efficiencies mean retailers can open more stores in more locations, improving access to products. Stores can act as micro-fulfillment centers for e-commerce for a truly multi-channel experience.
Other solutions rely on one sensor, e.g. a camera. We fuse information from cameras AND weight-sensitive shelf sensors to offer two independent sources of truth and optimal accuracy for what products have been selected.
Zippin can handle the maximum number of customers fire department codes will permit in any store. Unlike other technology solutions that struggle to maintain accuracy and keep track of items when the store gets crowded.
By using commodity hardware we keep costs low for retailers. Related support and maintenance costs are also low due to the fact that non-functioning components can be easily and readily replaced.
Installation is typically simple and without onerous requirements on store owners. Zippin works with existing store formats, shelving and coolers, and standard power supply and internet connections.
By eliminating the need for servers or desktops, we have also removed the need for expensive system administration contracts, with no need to build out a separate server room or rack.
With weight sensors integral to our shelves, Zippin’s platform can handle fresh produce, prepared food sold by weight e.g. salads and cooked foods, and any other items priced by weight.
Once a shopper selects the item they want from the shelf, they can put it in their bag or pocket. This provides privacy that may be desired by customers, e.g. when buying personal hygiene products, etc
With Zippin, you'll always know where your products are located in the store, even if they have been put in the wrong location. You can now offer customers turn-by-turn directions to an item’s exact location.
