Also consider that better inventory data allows better just-in-time inventory refill, increasing $/ft^2 inventory turnover and therefore total $ sales per store

Also consider that better inventory data allows better just-in-time inventory refill, increasing $/ft^2 inventory turnover and therefore total $ sales per store. I suspect this is about driving analytics with higher quality, more frequent data.
- ams6110 9y agoYes, I think this is more likely what they are doing. With people shopping the store, they can never really be sure about on-hand inventory even with robot checks. The robot could confirm that an item is on the shelf, and then a moment later a customer could put that item in a shopping cart and not check out for another 30 minutes or more. During that time the on-hand count is wrong.
