Simbe is the global leader in retail shelf digitization, delivering real-time visibility into every shelf, product, and store through autonomous robotics.

Simbe Robotics builds autonomous shelf-scanning robots like Tally and fixed-position sensors like Tally Spot for retail inventory management. Tally uses computer vision and AI to detect out-of-stock, misplaced, or mispriced items on store shelves. Tally Spot provides high-frequency monitoring in targeted zones such as fresh foods, alcohol, and checkout areas. These products are sold to grocery and retail chains across the US and globally to reduce shrink, optimize inventory, and improve shopper experience.

64.61 RoboScore + 2.79 Momentum· Strong evidence

Products, Range, Traction set the number — the three factors present for every company. Activity, Attention, Readiness describe the brand but never move it. A value we don't have reads —, never zero. Momentum is independently collected news coverage, worth at most 15 points and never a deduction — a maker we have heard nothing about keeps its full RoboScore. Claiming or paying moves nothing.

Why Simbe has been in the news, across 3 outlets — collected and classified independently, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes a robot's RoboScore — the evidence half of the RoboIndex — and it can move a robot up a board by at most 15 points.
