Problem
Retail stores often struggle with inaccurate inventory visibility, frequent out‑of‑stock events, and limited insight into shopper behavior, leading to lost sales and higher operational costs.
Solution
Altitude delivers an AI‑driven platform that ingests video feeds and point‑of‑sale data to generate real‑time, SKU‑level inventory insights. Computer‑vision algorithms detect shelf gaps and product placement, while predictive analytics forecast demand at the store and aisle level. The system automatically triggers replenishment recommendations and alerts staff to out‑of‑stock situations before customers notice. All analytics are presented through a configurable dashboard that integrates with existing ERP and POS systems, enabling retailers to streamline stocking processes, reduce shrinkage, and improve the in‑store experience.
Target Audience
The primary customers are brick‑and‑mortar retailers—including supermarkets, department stores, and specialty chains—and CPG manufacturers seeking to optimize in‑store inventory and shopper engagement.
