Such mysterious technologies as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M), which are already successfully used in our country, and not only by foreign but also by local companies. When you do not encounter this as a manufacturer, you have no idea how diverse the world of possibilities in the field of "smart things" is and how advanced the minds and companies that are engaged in this are in our country.
So, when we opened the Smart Shelf Solutions company, we also did not fully understand what a difficult, albeit interesting, business we were connecting our lives with. We only understood that “now” was “that” time.
Prerequisites:
At one time, I was engaged in non-voice services and, among belgium cell phone number list other things, the direction of development of SIM cards designed to provide telemetric processes, or more simply - the M2M direction. With the understanding that this is a whole layer, a whole huge direction of business, and a business in the field of "smart retail technologies" was created. We called ourselves Smart Shelf Solutions - so that we could be easily found on the Internet by entering these basic and sacramental words in the search bar.
At one time, working in the marketing structures of companies producing bottled drinks, I dreamed of a tool that helps to evaluate investments in the development of distribution channels, in other words, investments in trade equipment and distribution. Which speaks about the optimization of distribution processes and the maximization of profit extraction due to the automation of monitoring processes on the shelves.
According to many studies, the global index of problems associated with the absence of goods on the shelf (out-of-stock) is 8%, while in Russia this index is 17%. 17% of problems are 17 percent of opportunities (see figure)
Smart Shelf Solutions focused on making the following possible: sitting in the office or anywhere, with only a mobile device with Internet access, company employees could monitor what was happening on the shelves, the absence of goods, the violation of planograms, sales. Then we went further: we taught the equipment to automatically form orders, understood what is most important and what is unnecessary. In this sense, 80% of the needs in "smart" retail are covered by the most basic functions, such as monitoring the absence of products (and not their remains), monitoring the temperature and the presence of power in the refrigerator (and not the planogram in it)
