RADAR builds an integrated hardware and software system powered by RFID that tracks retail inventory in real time down to individual items and their precise locations in a store. [10]

Beyond inventory tracking, RADAR's system enables autonomous checkout, where items are added to a shopper's cart automatically as they shop and the customer is charged on exit, plus item-level analytics on how customers interact with products and faster, more accurate restocking and fulfillment.
