One shift with Alto.
Scroll through a single loop on the floor, from patrol to closed sale and back.
Step 01 · Patrol
Works the door on its own.
Alto patrols the entrance on its configured route. The moment a shopper walks in, it spots them and approaches before they give up.
- Person detection
- Patrol routes on the store map
- Face recognition, returning customers
This was one example flow.
Every step above is defined in INDUIT. You set the exact procedure: stages, phrases, rules, handoffs. The robot runs it on its own. It wakes for its morning shift, works the day, and docks itself to charge at night.
Data no POS can see.
The robot hears what shoppers ask for and sees how the floor is used. Every interaction becomes business data, anonymised and GDPR-compliant.
Lost-sales radar
What shoppers asked for but couldn't buy: out of stock, misplaced, or not carried. Quantified, so the missed revenue is visible.
Findability
Repeated “where is X” questions expose broken placement and planogram issues, aisle by aisle.
Staff deflection
How many questions the robot resolves alone versus hands to staff. The labor half of the ROI.
Demand signals
Top unmet questions, assortment gaps and promo awareness, straight from shoppers' own words.
Data encrypted · Anonymised by default · GDPR-compliant · EU data residency

Frequently asked questions
What is Alto?
Alto is an autonomous retail salesperson: a robot co-designed with Temi that ships with ARCHTYP preinstalled. It patrols the store, greets shoppers, guides them to products, recommends upsells, and hands off to staff, working every opening hour without shifts or breaks.
What does Alto do in a store?
Alto patrols the entrance, detects a shopper who needs help, opens a natural conversation, guides them to the right shelf using the store map and live stock, answers from the retailer's catalogue, upsells, and closes the sale or hands a qualified customer to staff.
How much does an Alto robot improve sales?
Alto recovers sales that would otherwise walk out unserved, engages every shopper without breaks, and delivers a consistent pitch all day. Retailers typically see the robot pay for itself within 3 to 6 months.
How is Alto set up?
There is no IT project. Open the ARCHTYP app on the robot, scan a QR code with a phone or enter the pairing code in the console, and the robot picks up the store map and starts working. Flows and updates arrive over the air.
How many languages does Alto speak?
Alto speaks 40+ languages and switches language mid-conversation to serve every shopper in their own language.
