Simplify operations, scale store innovation
Cloud-to-edge orchestration and automation for modern retail: operate thousands of stores as one system, with local autonomy, central control and scalable in-store compute.
The Challenge
Retail is evolving to autonomous, compute-enabled stores
Most retailers aren't ready for the transition. Three gaps stand in the way:
Resilience gap
When central systems or cloud connectivity fail, checkout stops and store operations slow down.
Consistency gap
Every store is different: tools vary by country, updates are slow, IT and OT are fragmented.
Innovation gap
RFID, computer vision and AI promise a lot, but innovation remains stuck in pilots.
NearbyOne for Retail
Operate thousands of stores as one system
NearbyOne connects your stores, edge infrastructure and cloud environments into a single operational layer, with local autonomy, central control and scalable in-store compute.
Operational continuity
Checkout, payment and store systems keep working when the link to headquarters drops: NearbyOne runs those workloads on hardware in the store, not in a data centre the store depends on. When connectivity returns, each store reconciles to the current configuration automatically.
Global consistency
NearbyOne manages the stores you already run as one estate: live status per store, drift and version visible from the centre, and a fix or a configuration change applied everywhere without a field visit. The day-to-day of a large estate is no longer a per-store problem.
Scalable innovation
Loss prevention, shelf availability, queue management, smart checkout: proven in one store, then rolled out to thousands as a single NearbyOne deployment. The gap between a successful pilot and the full estate stops being the bottleneck.
The only fully vendor-agnostic platform
Use cases
Retail Use Cases enabled by NearbyOne
Powered by RFID, computer vision and edge AI inference, deployed and operated across every store from one control plane.
Real-time inventory
RFID tags track every item live across stores and warehouses, with data processed locally at the store. Inventory is always accurate across the entire network. No more phantom availability.
Traffic & queue intelligence
Computer vision runs directly at the store, turning traffic and dwell patterns into a continuous, real-time understanding of people movement, without cloud latency.
Smart fitting room
RFID and computer vision track every item entering and leaving the fitting room, turning try-on activity into real-time operational signals for store teams.
Frictionless checkout
RFID self-checkout for customers and mobile POS for associates: free from fixed tills, running reliably in the store and independent of cloud connectivity.
Loss prevention
RFID and computer vision detect unpaid or misplaced items at the exit in real time. Alerts are raised in the store, in the moment, not after a round trip to the cloud.
Back-of-store automation
RFID applications automate the sorting of fitting-room returns and incoming deliveries, giving operations teams instant visibility of what needs to go where.
