Optimus Business Transformation to Bring AI-Powered Shelf Intelligence Robots with Zipped

Miami, FL – [March 9, 2026] – Optimus Business Transformation, a global technology and advisory firm supporting organizations across the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Zippedi, an AI robotics company helping retailers improve on-shelf availability, pricing accuracy, and in-store execution through autonomous shelf-scanning robots and a data-driven insights platform.

Through this collaboration, Optimus will bring Zippedi’s autonomous robotics and analytics to organizations seeking to reduce stockouts, strengthen planogram compliance, and turn real-time shelf conditions into actionable tasks—improving operations and the shopper experience.

“Retail performance is won or lost at the shelf,” said Hector Negron, Chief Innovation Strategist and Founder of Optimus Business Transformation. “With Zippedi, we’re moving clients from periodic manual checks to continuous, data-backed visibility—so teams execute faster, reduce friction, and protect revenue.”

“Optimus is a multi-year Diamond-level partner for LS Retail, representing the highest partner status we offer,” said Jeffrey Miller, Vice President, Americas at LS Retail. “Their ongoing investment in AI innovation is truly exciting. Together with new AI functionality from LS Retail and Microsoft, this partnership will unlock greater efficiency and expanded capabilities for our clients.”

Zippedi’s robots navigate stores and scan shelves label by label, processing over one million photos daily to create a digital twin of the shelf and generate proactive tasks for associates.

Together, Optimus and Zippedi will help retailers and consumer goods organizations:

• Detect gaps and stockouts earlier to trigger replenishment actions

• Identify price/label issues faster and accelerate corrections

• Improve planogram and promotional compliance with shelf-level auditing

• Speed up in-store execution using task workflows and dashboards (stockout, reposition, promotion, price, adjustment)

This partnership reinforces Optimus’ commitment to modernizing store operations through practical, scalable AI and automation.
