Commissary technology: artificial intelligence

Even in inflationary times, commissaries, supermarkets and other places where food is made or sold are increasingly turning to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies to help them streamline operations, improve the customer experience, reduce waste and give their bottom lines a boost. San Ramon, Calif.-based AI and ML specialist Impulse Logic delivers advanced predictive analytics to create the optimal product flow through a retailer's store to optimize labor availability, ensure product availability, reduce waste, and increase profits, said Matt Frost, the company's CEO. "By optimizing the journey from warehouse to shop floor, stores can improve the way they manage their inventory to drive sales," Frost said. "Our innovative AI and ML-based solution does this by reading in-store data every two seconds." That ensures that store associates can make decisions based on accurate insights and ultimately deliver outstanding customer service and satisfaction.
