Automated Item Identification¶

intelligence inventory

Items and identification anomalies can be resolved in real time at store touchpoints.

Identifies items and detects identification anomalies at retail touchpoints using hardware- and provider-agnostic methods such as barcode, RFID, or computer vision. Supplies evidence to inventory and loss-prevention workflows without making technology-specific implementation claims.
