Platform
The technology that runs the shop.
Pharaas combines robotics with remote-operations software to automate the physical and digital workflow of a retail outlet.
Customers can order and pay for products while the system handles fulfilment and the owner manages the operation remotely.
Overview
One system connecting the whole retail operation.
Pharaas brings customer ordering, payments, robotic fulfilment, inventory, transactions, and remote operations together.
The physical system handles products inside the shop while the software connects the customer experience with the owner's view of the business.
Customer ordering
Customers order directly from the shop.
Customers can browse available products, select what they need, and place an order through the retail interface.
The order is then connected to payment and robotic fulfilment.
Payments
Payment is part of the transaction.
Customers can pay through supported payment services, including mobile money such as M-Pesa and card payments.
The payment is connected to the order so the transaction can move through the fulfilment process.
Mobile money and card payments
Robotic fulfilment
The system retrieves the products.
Once an order has been completed, the robotic system identifies the selected products and retrieves them from the shop's inventory for fulfilment.
This allows the physical product-handling part of the sale to happen without staff retrieving every order.
Inventory
Know what is happening to your stock.
The platform connects product information with sales and fulfilment activity, giving the owner a clearer view of what is happening inside the shop.
Product visibility
See the products available through the automated shop.
Sales visibility
Understand what customers are buying.
Inventory visibility
Monitor stock and product movement.
Remote operations
Operate the shop from wherever you are.
The owner can monitor sales, transactions, inventory, and system activity through the remote-operations platform.
Relevant shop functions can also be managed remotely, allowing the owner to remain involved without being physically present at the outlet.
Monitoring
Know when the shop needs attention.
Automation still requires operational oversight.
Pharaas provides information about the state of the system so the owner or support team can identify issues and determine when physical intervention is required.
Multiple outlets
Keep visibility across your outlets.
For operators managing more than one automated shop, the platform can provide visibility into sales, inventory, transactions, and system activity across deployments.
Deployment
Start with your shop.
01
Understand the shop
We look at the outlet, the products it carries, the customer journey, and the way the business currently operates.
02
Configure the system
The Pharaas deployment is configured around the shop, its products, payment requirements, and operating model.
03
Install the platform
The physical system and software are installed and connected to the services required for the deployment.
04
Operate remotely
Once the system is running, the owner can monitor and manage the automated outlet through the operations platform.
