Episode 81 | Transforming Retail Efficiency with AI | Benjamin Bond

In this episode, I sit down with Benjamin Bond, VP of Strategy and Business Development at Simbe Robotics, to talk about how AI-driven robotics are transforming retail efficiency. Benjamin shares his journey from consulting and retail strategy to leading Simbe’s efforts to enhance store-level insights and streamline operations with shelf intelligence solutions.

We discuss Simbe’s flagship robot, Tally, and how it helps stores optimize inventory, pricing, and layout without disrupting the shopping experience. Benjamin also reveals how Simbe’s recent $50M Series C funding, led by Goldman Sachs, will propel their expansion into new markets and further their mission of empowering retailers.

Benjamin emphasizes the human side of robotics, explaining how their solutions free up employees to focus on more meaningful customer interactions while driving measurable ROI. If you’re curious about how AI and robotics are reshaping real-world operations, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
