Focal Systems

Focal Systems sells shelf intelligence for grocery and retail stores, using AI cameras mounted at the shelf edge to scan every product on every shelf every hour. The aim is real time visibility into what is on shelf so stores can cut out of stocks, reduce waste and spend less labor on manual checks. The platform combines computer vision with what the vendor calls Shelf AI, which turns camera images into tasks and inventory signals for store teams and supply chain systems. Listed capabilities include on shelf availability monitoring, in day replenishment, shrink reduction, inventory accuracy, workforce efficiency and planogram compliance, where shelves are audited against the intended layout. The site reports deployments with retailers such as Morrisons and Village Super Market. It is built for grocers and large store operators rather than individual shoppers or small shops, since it involves installing cameras across stores. Retailers can download a white paper on the return on investment of shelf AI, and enquiries go through a contact form. Pricing is not published. Costs depend on store deployments arranged with the vendor.
