Piggly Wiggly Midwest is piloting a focal operating system aimed at digitizing a store in order to automate and optimize ordering, inventory management, merchandising and in-store labor in a quest to drive a better customer experience.
The technology, from Focal Systems, leverages artificial intelligence and is testing in Wisconsin and Illinois stores, according to a press release.
"We're thrilled to work with such a beloved and historic grocer that has been a staple in American lives for more than a century," Francois Chaubard, CEO and founder of Focal Systems, said in the release.
