1. A computer-implemented method for commercial inventory mapping, the method comprising, via one or more local or remote processors, sensors, servers, light detection and ranging (LIDAR) devices, and/or transceivers:
receiving LIDAR data generated from a LIDAR camera, the LIDAR data associated with a store or a store layout;
generating a LIDAR-based virtual map of the store from processor analysis of the LIDAR data;
receiving, with a server, sensor data from a sensor;
updating an electronic inventory list based upon the received sensor data;
determining locations of individual goods on the updated inventory list in the store;
overlaying the locations of the individual goods onto the LIDAR-based virtual map; and
generating an updated LIDAR-based virtual map of the store displaying aisles of the store and the overlaid locations of the individual goods within the store.
