I gotta be honest, this doesn't look to great to me. Most stores, mid-to-low grocery stores, dont even track inventory completely automatically, let alone something as sophisticated at this.

How are you going to beat amazon that has expertise and actual stores to try this? Where is the tech break-through going to happen without that instantaneous feedback loop?

But going back to the first point..have you talked to target stores? I can't imagine them wanting to sign up on something that has very undefined value, potentially large backlash. They have much bigger problems on their day to day.

Amazon are currently more focussed on supplying services to developers through AWS, e.g. Rekognition that do one small, technical part of what we do. That and Amazon Go which is a cool concept that works really well for groceries/convenience stores. We're going after everything else and don't see Amazon making any moves to enter this space in the near future.

We've talked to lots of target stores and are live with a number of clients already. The story we hear most frequently is that they've previously tried a number of things to get this type of data but none have been good enough in terms of precision or depth of insight.

Good luck!
