Schnuck Markets Deploys Tally Robot to More than Half of Stores 

Simbe’s innovative retail technology provides comprehensive inventory insights and analysis 
 
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 30, 2020 ​-​ ​Three years after introducing ​Simbe Robotics​’ autonomous robot Tally 
to select stores to enhance inventory management, ​Schnuck Markets, Inc.​ today announced it 
is launching the technology in an additional 46 stores, leveraging Tally’s real-time data to 
improve the shopping experiences in 62 locations.  

“The amount of critical data and valuable insights that Tally continues to bring us from a select 
number of stores is immeasurable,” said Schnucks Vice President of IT Infrastructure and 
Development, Dave Steck. “By expanding our partnership with Simbe and introducing Tally to 
more than half our stores, we will improve our in-stock position for our customers and free up our 
teams from tedious inventory-related tasks, allowing more focus on service. Improving our 
customer’s experiences has always been deeply important to us and is becoming even more 
critical to operations in a rapidly changing retail environment.” 

Steck added that additional benefits of Tally include: 

● 14x more out-of-stock detection than manual auditing and at least 20% reduction in 
out-of-stock items in stores using Tally 
● Increased accuracy of real-time inventory that feeds into Schnucks’ automated 
replenishment system, allowing for more efficient inventory management  
● Streamlined ordering and replenishment, ensuring store shelves are restocked quicker to 
meet customer needs 
● Access to real-time product location data through the ​Schnucks Rewards​ app, 
enabling more efficient shopping trips for customers and stocking for teammates 
 
Schnucks first piloted Tally in July of 2017 and ​expanded to additional stores​ in 2018, with robots 
traversing store aisles two to three times per day and autonomously capturing inventory for 
approximately 35,000 products per store with each traversal. Both teammates and customers 
have enjoyed the benefits of improved inventory and productivity in these stores – a result the 
Schnucks team affectionately refers to as “The Tally Effect.” With this latest expansion, on 
average, Tally will scan more than 4.2 million products per day – giving Schnucks accurate, 
frequent and comprehensive insights into product flow and operations. This enhanced 
partnership with Simbe is an important milestone in Schnucks’ commitment to leveraging new 
technology to provide customers with the best possible shopping experiences. 
 
“Schnucks has done a tremendous job adopting thoughtful innovation to consistently enrich the 
shopping experience, share cutting-edge resources with store teams, and ultimately, improve 
business operations,” said Brad Bogolea, founder and CEO of Simbe Robotics. “Simbe is proud to 
expand our partnership, now and into the future, and continue to work together across a variety 
of store sizes and layouts to create a better retail experience through data-driven solutions like 
Tally. As retailers are recognizing the need for innovation in a unique market landscape, Simbe 
equips them with the insights they need to remain competitive and keep customers happy.”

About Tally™ 
Tally is the world’s first fully autonomous in-store product auditing solution. Tally works in concert 
with retail store associates by empowering them with timely information to ensure products are 
always stocked, in the right place and correctly priced. Using a suite of sensors, the robot 
operates safely during normal store hours alongside shoppers and employees and doesn’t require 
any infrastructure changes to the store. Tally’s design is intuitive, friendly, and fits naturally into the 
retail environment. The robot scans entire stores up to three times per day and autonomously 
returns to its dock allowing for continuous operation. Combined with Simbe’s cloud-powered 
software platform, powered by computer vision and machine learning, retailers have 
unprecedented information and insight into the state of their stores. This information can be used 
to streamline store performance, maximize customer satisfaction, increase sales, and optimize 
operational expenditures.
