Badger Technologies

Badger Technologies provides actionable data and analytics for retail operations through a fleet of autonomous robots that navigate stores and collect product information through a variety of sensors. Badger is equipped with high-resolution cameras and rotating lidar. The robot detects misplaced items and empty shelves, identifies planogram inconsistencies, catches and resolves price discrepancies, conducts product checks, generates replenishment lists and alerts store associates when items need to be restocked, and monitors floor conditions for spills and other hazards. Badger can scan millions of products each day, remapping the store every time it makes its rounds.

The company offers its solution through outright purchase or a hybrid recurring sales model, in which customers lease the robots to own, and pay recurring fees for a comprehensive solution that includes maintenance, dedicated service and support, 24/7 remote monitoring, real-time alerts, customized dashboards that serve up real-time inventory tracking down to the SKU, and analytics. The software portion of Badger’s end-to-end solution means customers get dynamic updates on customer preferences and buying trends, so they can personalize shopping experiences and increase store profitability.
