SymMicro

Warehouse automation in the store

Symbotic’s proven technology has been adapted to best support modern consumer buying habits. SymMicro turns the back-of-store space at local retailers into inventory management and fulfillment centers. Aisles are cleared of excessive traffic as e-com in-store pickup operations are automated and inventory is digitized for an improved and accurate shopping experience.
