ARC – Automated Robotic Capture
Proprietary + Confidential : ©2017
22
ARC is a fully autonomous mobile robot designed to mobilize sensors to capture data for specific tasks.
ARC is a modular design to enable interchangeable sensor payloads and custom compute requirements.
The first iteration uses 2D, 3D and Lidar for optical scanning. Version 2 will use RFID.
Description
The company has dedicated significant resource to develop ARC as a core competitive advantage.
Generation #12 is currently deployed in Customer 1, Customer 2 and Customer 3.
Two further revisions are planned prior to mass production.
Development Stage
Today, Bossa Nova’s cost to manufacture an ARC system is $80k. This cost is expected to decline to $50k for a XXX store deployment.
New customer will be billed on a square footage basis. Management estimates a $30-40k(1) annual recurring fee for most future customers at ~60% margin.

Mobile Applications
Proprietary + Confidential : ©2017
23
Mobile Applications give store and field-based employees access to Bossa Nova data based on job function and responsibility.
Regional managers have access to aggregated data for a set of specific stores while Store managers are able to view in depth detail of a single store and interface with ARC. Replenishment tasks are also communicated to Store Associates through Mobile Applications.
Description
This service will be productized in 2018 when smaller customers are introduced to the Bossa Nova solution.
Bossa Nova’s early customers each develop their own mobile applications to access data captured by ARC.
Development Stage
Management is targeting a per device annual license at $20 - $40 per month generating up to $19,200 per store per year.
Large format retailers typically have 30-40 mobile devices per store.
Billing and Margin
Compliance tasks are presented in graphic format to simplify communication and increase execution success
AIR – A.I. for Retail
Proprietary + Confidential : ©2017
24
AIR (AI for Retail) are AI algorithms customized to customer specific shelf data to identify the status of shelf compliance.
This includes creating A.I. models for customers, developing the training dataset, and providing inference services for label detection, product recognition, out-of-stock recognition and other metrics as well as Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) services where needed.
Description
Scene segmentation using machine
and deep learning to identify section, shelves, labels and gaps
Bossa Nova has developed Training tools to enable Human-in-the-Loop development of classifiers for common retail problems including label and out-of-stock detection.
The development roadmap will engineer humans out of the process over time. Development is focused on automating the most time-consuming tasks first.
Development Stage
The company is moving to a transaction fee per recognition and management estimates $25-50k per store per year at 80% margins. Pricing will adjust based on customer value.

CAR - Customer Analytics and Reporting
Proprietary + Confidential : ©2017
25
Bossa Nova provides retailers with advanced analytics and reporting capabilities through API data streams as well as a dedicated software portal.

Description
Today Bossa Nova provides product data to help customers optimize task planning and execution.
With expansion to more stores, data science will determine optimal placement of categories, brands and products to generate insights that will improve sales performance.
The company estimates that 50 stores and six months data collection will yield actionable insights.
Development Stage
Reporting services will be priced for market adoption and may include cost per report and/or a seat license for analytics. All services will be online with margins expected to exceed 80%.

ROC – Robot Operations Centre
Proprietary + Confidential : ©2017
26
A version of Bossa Nova’s internal monitoring tools will be made available to customers to provide full visibility into the status of each ARC and access to scheduling for scans and other urgent needs.
For example, a store manager may request a scan of an underperforming zone, or HQ can ask for validation that recalled products have been removed from shelves.
Description
The Company has already developed tools to remotely monitor each ARC system in near real time. A subset of these monitoring tools will be made into customer facing products that provide limited access to ARC’s planning module. Development is slated for 2018.
Store visibility will be incorporated into Mobile Applications while HQ will access this data through a browser.
Development Stage
Access to ROC will require a seat license charged at $1k - $5K per year and management estimates margins to be in the region of 80% - 90%.
Billing and Margin
First design iteration of ROC data showing mission detail including scheduled aisles, path planning, capture quality and robot health.
DEP – Data Exchange Portal
Proprietary + Confidential : ©2017
27
The Data Exchange Portal is a cloud repository of real time consumer product information designed for use by the supplier, merchandising and market research communities.
DEP is a query based interface of aggregated product information.
Description
The Data Exchange Portal is in the planning stage. The Company will seek input from retailers and suppliers during the design research process to ensure the right information is made available for each user.
Development Stage
Retailers are sensitive about sharing data however, management is confident that many will approve sharing aggregated information that does not include identifiable data to link the source. In addition, it is expected that retailers will expect a revenue share from such a service.
Margins are expected to exceed 60% after revenue sharing.
Billing and Margin
Bossa Nova’s Data Exchange Portal provides the entire retail global supply chain visibility into the most important part of the chain – where consumer demand meets supply
