Based in San Marcos, Texas, McCoy’s Building Supply is one of
the nation’s largest, privately held building supply retailers with
85 stores throughout Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. The hardware
retailer’s decision to deploy Badger Technologies multipurpose
autonomous robots was driven by the company’s overarching
commitment to deliver the highest levels of service on behalf of
its loyal customers and hard-working team members.
“We continually seek innovative ways to elevate customer service
while removing operational obstacles for store associates,” said
Waylon Walker, senior vice president, Operations &
Merchandising for McCoy’s Building Supply. “With Badger
Technologies robots, we can eliminate manual, time-consuming
inventory checks and attain real-time data to better address
customer preferences and buying trends.”
Extending the Value of Robotic Automation
With McCoy’s storewide robotics rollout underway, local store
operations and merchandising teams benefit from the value of
automation, including daily updates on product availability and
pricing for up to 50,000 Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) per location.
Additionally, the robots complete inventory shelf scans in just two
hours each day, freeing associates from laborious shelf
inspections, which previously took up to 50 hours per week. This
represents a 72% reduction in time required each week to conduct
product and price checks.
Autonomous robots can alleviate many of the toughest operational
problems facing retailers today. Not only do the robots offload
tedious tasks from store associates, they also ease the burden of
addressing persistent labor shortages. Additionally, in-store
robots improve on-shelf product availability by generating
actionable data and analytics to provide a more accurate view of
shelf conditions.
“Our multipurpose autonomous robots offer retailers much-needed
relief by extending staff operations and providing critical data to
increase efficiencies and improve shopping experiences,” said
William “BJ” Santiago, CEO of Badger Technologies. “The robots
deployed by McCoy’s are making a major impact in increasing
customer satisfaction, improving storewide operations, and boosting
retail revenues.”
The collection and correlation of sell-through and pricing-trend
data, along with OOS duration and frequency, enables McCoy’s to
prioritize product replenishment. Additionally, Badger Technologies
multipurpose, autonomous robots keep track of product locations,
which can speed re-stocking the most popular products while
assisting stores with merchandise forecasting, commodity
management, and planogram compliance.
