About
Augmodo is a spatial AI company that develops wearable SmartBadge technology and AI-powered software for retail environments. The company's innovative platform enables retail store associates to track inventory and generate real-time 3D store maps using passive wearable devices equipped with dual cameras. By capturing egocentric video data through the physical worker's perspective, Augmodo's technology automatically monitors shelf stock, identifies missing items, and creates live Realograms that update dozens of times daily. The system requires no fixed cameras or roaming robots, making it 100 times cheaper than competing solutions while capturing ten times more shelf data. Installation takes less than 30 minutes per store with built-in redundancy and low capital expenditure requirements. The company's core value proposition centers on enabling rather than replacing retail workers. Technology should enhance the workforce, not displace it. Augmodo's SmartBadge reduces tedious manual audits, simplifies ecommerce order fulfillment, and provides associates with AI assistance equivalent to two years of experience from day one. Privacy filtering runs on-premise to ensure only shelf data is processed - Augmodo explicitly does not track associates or customers. Early customers report 30% improvements in on-shelf availability within the first month, demonstrating measurable business impact. The company serves grocery retailers, pharmacy chains, and big-box retailers, with deployments across major chains like QFC and Chemist Warehouse.
