Real-time in-store analytics from video, sensors, and point-of-sale data
RetailNext operates a distributed sensor and computer-vision platform across nearly 100,000 retail locations, processing over one billion shopping trips annually. The tech stack—Go, Cassandra, Redis, Kafka, TensorFlow Lite, OpenVINO, and GPU acceleration—reflects a company scaling edge ML inference and real-time data pipelines. Active projects on edge CV/ML deployment optimization, Terraform adoption, and sensor telemetry collection signal infrastructure maturation; hiring is concentrated in engineering (senior roles) across six countries, suggesting edge deployment and inference are core scaling blockers.
RetailNext provides analytics for brick-and-mortar retail by collecting data from video, Wi-Fi detection, on-shelf sensors, and point-of-sale systems. The platform generates insights on customer traffic, conversion, and in-store behavior, integrating with promotional calendars, staffing systems, and external data like weather to model how factors drive shopping patterns. RetailNext operates in over 40 countries and processes trillions of data points annually from its sensor network. The company serves mid-to-large retailers and manufacturers seeking to identify growth opportunities and measure operational changes.
RetailNext uses Go, Cassandra, Redis, Elasticsearch, Kafka, and GCP/AWS for infrastructure. For computer vision, it deploys TensorFlow Lite, OpenVINO, and ONNX for edge inference, with OpenCV and FFmpeg for video processing. Python, Java, Node.js, and Ruby support backend services; Docker handles containerization.
Active projects include edge CV/ML deployment optimization, hardware acceleration implementation, migrating monitoring from Prometheus, Terraform cloud resource management, sensor telemetry collection redesign, and scaling CV/ML systems across the store network.
