Standard AI, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company, announced today that it is pivoting from its original focus on autonomous checkout systems to providing computer vision analytics solutions for retailers.

VentureBeat has also learned that the company is now valued at $1.5 billion, a significant milestone as it shifts its business strategy. In conjunction with this strategic shift, Standard AI has promoted COO Angie Westbrock to CEO and SVP of Technology Strategy David Woollard to CTO.

The company says its new suite of products will help retailers gain valuable insights into shopper behavior, optimize merchandising strategies, reduce out-of-stock items, and prevent loss — all without using facial recognition or collecting personally identifiable information.

“What we found is that by addressing specific challenges like analyzing shopper interactions and monitoring stock levels, retailers and brands could reach ROI and get immediate returns on their investment,” said Standard AI CEO Angie Westbrook in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat. “This targeted approach allowed us to deliver a much more tangible solution.”
