AI Product Location for Retail Stores
Let your AI agent answer every product location question in seconds, so you can focus on checkout and keep lines moving. No more aisle searches or guesswork—just ask and get clear directions.
As a cashier or floor associate, you lose time jumping between POS terminals, checking inventory in Retail Pro or spreadsheets, and walking customers to products. You’re stuck balancing checkout, answering location questions, and remembering every item’s spot. When you can’t find what a shopper needs, frustration builds and sales slip away.
An AI agent that instantly tells cashiers and retail staff where any item is located in the store, using real-time inventory and layout data.

The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In grocery, pharmacy, and big-box retail, cashiers and sales associates spend hours each week looking up product locations for customers. You switch between inventory systems like NCR Counterpoint, scan Excel lists, and walk the aisles to find items. New hires struggle even more, slowing down checkout and causing longer lines. These delays cost sales and damage customer loyalty.

If you keep ignoring it
Ignoring this means longer wait times, lost sales, and frequent staff turnover. Customers leave dissatisfied, and new employees take weeks to learn the store layout, hurting your bottom line.
