Spacee's shelf-mounted "roaming robots" can now do more than just take unobtrusive inventory. A new version of the robots has live video feed capabilities, "allowing retail store managers to see shelves and get real-time inventory snapshots remotely."
Founder and CEO Skip Howard talks about the "huge gap" his robots can fill—and offers four predictions on major retail tech trends for 2023.
Bringing 36 years of experience from his Best Buy days, Brad Anderson isn't just joining Spacee's advisory board. He's also investing in the startup—which aims to transform retail businesses with its HoverTouch interactive experiences, while helping industries track inventories with its Deming shelf-mounted robots.
"I was attracted to the company’s learners and adapters," Anderson tells Dallas Innovates. "They're a team of people that when you have a problem, they are unencumbered in their ability to innovate to solve the problem."
Customers walking into Audi Dallas are finding touchscreen-like experiences right on Audi car models—without a touchscreen in sight. The new "interactive experience solution" is called HoverTouch, from Addison-based tech startup Spacee. The solution gives customers information while delivering useful data back to the retailer.
"We're still early in the process, but already seeing double-digit in-store sales increases for the products we’re promoting with HoverTouch," says Audi Dallas' auto group CEO.
