Pensa Systems is a retail technology company that provides AI-powered shelf intelligence and in-store execution solutions for CPG brands and retailers. The company's platform uses drone-based autonomous perception systems and computer vision to capture and analyze physical store shelves in seconds, digitally reconstructing shelf layouts and flagging discrepancies in real time.

It answers critical questions about promotion effectiveness, shelf space allocation, store execution comparisons, planogram compliance, and new product distribution. The company has partnered with Datalogic to bring AI-powered visual capabilities to mobile computers across the retail supply chain.
