DTEK.ai
DTEK.ai is a Dubai-based retail AI company whose flagship product, SWIFT, replaces barcode scanning with computer vision: shoppers set their items down on a kiosk, the system recognises them in a fraction of a second, and the transaction closes in about twenty to thirty seconds. Founded in January 2021 as Dukkantek - a cloud point-of-sale and store-management platform for the corner grocers of the Gulf - the company rebranded around late 2023 and rebuilt itself around vision models, adding SIGHT (turning existing CCTV into non-biometric store analytics) and a layer of configurable AI agents for loss prevention and reporting. It has raised $15.2 million across two rounds from investors including Global Founders Capital, BECO Capital, Rocketship and Wamda Capital, and in May 2026 signed its most visible deal to date: a rollout of SWIFT across 50 Oasis by ADNOC convenience stores in the UAE, with ADNOC Distribution citing a target of more than 60 percent faster checkout.
SandStar AI Retail
SandStar AI Retail is a retail-technology company that uses computer vision, deep learning and big-data analytics to power cashierless, autonomous shopping. Founded in 2017 as YI Tunnel and rebranded to SandStar after a 2020 Series B+ round, it builds AI vending machines, pure-vision unmanned stores and smart-store analytics that recognize what shoppers pick up - no RFID tags, barcodes or sensors required - and automatically generate the bill when they walk out. Its systems are deployed across roughly 30 countries and serve dozens of global brands and Fortune 500 operators, including a Coca-Cola Smart Lounge in Beijing.
Shopic
Shopic is a Tel Aviv-based retail technology company that turns ordinary shopping carts into AI-powered smart carts using a clip-on device driven by computer vision. Its platform recognizes items at the individual level in real time, enabling frictionless checkout, targeted in-store promotions, loss prevention, and store analytics without requiring retailers to rip out and replace their existing fleet of carts. Founded in 2015 by cybersecurity veterans, Shopic has raised roughly $56M and deployed with grocers including Israel's Shufersal, Walmart Chile, and Italian and French chains.
Standard AI
Standard AI is a San Francisco computer-vision company that turns ordinary store cameras into a data layer for physical retail. Founded in 2017 (as Standard Cognition) around cashierless, autonomous checkout, it pivoted to VISION - an AI and edge-computing analytics platform that measures foot traffic, shopper engagement, product interactions, and store operations for retailers and CPG brands. Backed by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Y Combinator, CRV, and EQT Ventures, it hit a $1B valuation in 2021 and has grown largely through acquisition, most recently buying spatial-intelligence firm Pathr.ai in January 2026.
