- 5:58And
- 5:58then
- 5:59beyond

- 6:16Are
- 6:16things
- 6:16where
- 6:17they

- 6:18This
- 6:18store
- 6:19is
- 6:19doing
- 6:19great.
- 6:19Everything's
- 6:20where
- 6:20it's
- 6:20supposed
- 6:20to
- 6:20be.
- 6:21Wonder
- 6:21what's
- 6:21going
- 6:21on
- 6:22here.
- 6:22They're
- 6:22yellow
- 6:23on
- 6:23the
- 6:23map.
- 6:24For
- 6:24some
- 6:24reason,
- 6:25their
- 6:25front
- 6:25of
- 6:26their
- 6:26front
- 6:26display
- 6:27with,
- 6:27you
- 6:28know,
- 6:28denims
- 6:29doesn't
- 6:29have
- 6:29as
- 6:29much
- 6:29stock
- 6:30as
- 6:30it's
- 6:30supposed
- 6:30to
- 6:31have.
- 6:31So
- 6:31let's,
- 6:32let's
- 6:32give
- 6:32them
- 6:32a
- 6:33call
- 6:33and
- 6:33see
- 6:33what's

- 6:34So
- 6:34it
- 6:35does
- 6:35simplify
- 6:35finding
- 6:36inventory,
- 6:36but
- 6:37it
- 6:37all
- 6:37the
- 6:37things
- 6:38that
- 6:38happen
- 6:38because

- 6:40inventory
- 6:41like

- 6:43merchandising
- 6:44and
- 6:44things
- 6:44like
- 6:44that
- 6:44are
- 6:45all
- 6:45enhanced
- 6:45with
- 6:45this.
- 6:46So
- 6:46the
- 6:46reason
- 6:46that's
- 6:46important,
- 6:47right,
- 6:47Troy,
- 6:47is
- 6:47that
- 6:48you
- 6:48know,
- 6:48traditionally,
- 6:48especially,
- 6:49especially
- 6:49in
- 6:49an
- 6:49apparel
- 6:50environment,
- 6:50you
- 6:50know
- 6:50that
- 6:50you
- 6:50know
- 6:51potentially
- 6:51that
- 6:51the
- 6:51inventory
- 6:52is
- 6:52in
- 6:52the
- 6:52store,
- 6:52at
- 6:53least
- 6:53you
- 6:53think
- 6:53it
- 6:53is.
- 6:54So,
- 6:54you
- 6:54know,
- 6:54even
- 6:55with
- 6:55traditional
- 6:55RFID
- 6:56solutions,
- 6:56you

- 6:56understand
- 6:56that
- 6:57the
- 6:57inventory
- 6:57is
- 6:57there.
- 6:58But
- 6:58what
- 6:58you're

- 6:59is
- 6:59now
- 6:59you
- 6:59can

- 7:00the
- 7:00inventory
- 7:00is
- 7:01actually
- 7:01in
- 7:01the
- 7:01store.
- 7:02So
- 7:02is
- 7:02it
- 7:02in
- 7:02the
- 7:02back
- 7:03room
- 7:03or

- 7:09the

- 44:57in
- 44:57some
- 44:57way,
- 44:58I
- 44:59hate
- 44:59to
- 44:59almost
- 44:59say
- 44:59it,
- 44:59but
- 44:59in
- 45:00a
- 45:00true
- 45:00AI
- 45:00sense
- 45:01our
- 45:01solution
- 45:01does
- 45:02what
- 45:02the

- 45:06Then
- 45:06it
- 45:06reads
- 45:06a
- 45:06number
- 45:07underneath
- 45:07it
- 45:07and
- 45:07it
- 45:08reads
- 45:08there's
- 45:08no
- 45:08other
- 45:08number
- 45:08around
- 45:09it.
- 45:09And
- 45:09now
- 45:09it
