The objective of IPO is to extend this advanced weighing technology, i.e., “Product aware surface technology” to supermarket shelves with the objective of retail automation. This will aid the big retailers in automating their inventory management system which would lead to capturing lost sales in out-of-stock & waste of goods in over-stock inventory conditions. Also, this would allow the customers with a “Grab & go” service without the need to scan the barcodes.
Thus, considering the pedigree of past 47 years, solid revenues and operational profitability the stock seems to be an attractive bet for the long-term investors as the type of business model in which it operates into and the kind of technology that they propose to introduce would reap the benefits only in the medium to long-term.
