McCoy's Building Supply, which has 85 stores throughout Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma, is deploying in-store robots from Badger Technologies.
The technology is driven by the retailer's commitment to deliver the highest levels of service, according to a press release. The autonomous robots will improve on-shelf availability as well as improve price integrity. The robots complete inventory shelf scans in just two hours each day, freeing associates from time intensive shelf inspections, which previously took up to 50 hours per week.
The deployment follows a successful pilot.
"We continually seek innovative ways to elevate customer service while removing operational obstacles for store associates," Waylon Walker, senior vice president, operations and merchandising for McCoy's Building Supply, said in the release. "With Badger Technologies robots, we can eliminate manual, time-consuming inventory checks and attain real-time data to better address customer preferences and buying trends."
