Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedRetail operations / store technology leaders (hypothesis from item-level RFID inventory pitch).
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Inventory is retail's largest cost, staff cannot tell sales-floor vs stockroom stock in real time, and stores are unreliable e-commerce fulfillment centers.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Fixed RFID readers track every item's location in real time for restocking and finding items; same location accuracy enables autonomous checkout (items auto-added to cart, charged on exit).
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Fully integrated hardware plus software RFID system sold to retailers; no prices published.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Direct sales by phone ("To purchase, call (408) 290-5213"); team cites 1300+ store implementations of RFID experience.
