    Business Challenges

    To successfully tackle the complex business landscape of retail and CPG, businesses must overcome several crucial challenges, which our AI Shelf Recognition is designed to do. The key obstacles it overcomes are:

    Data reliability

    Manually gathered data is inconsistent, inaccurate and as a result unreliable

    Inconsistent Point-of-Sale Experiences

    Lost sales due to variable customer experiences at the point of sale

    Slow Responses to Market Shifts

    Reaction to market and competitor changes can be slow to be recognised and shared, which can lead to inefficient strategies and tactics being used to too long

    Inefficient Time Allocation

    The field team spends a lot of time completing routine in-store tasks instead of building strong relationships and focusing on selling

    Contract Compliance and SoS Control

    Ensuring adherence to contractual terms and ensuring compliance control over range presentation on the shelf

    AI as a core for successful recognition

    To enable a best-in-class audit experience, our Image Recognition technology is built using the latest innovations in technology including Artificial intelligence (AI), Computing Vision and Neural Networks. While it may seem like a futuristic solution it is in fact a very sophisticated, interconnected, and highly advanced system operating behind the scenes, collating all the data being gathered to provide a simple to use and interpret business tool.

    Up to 60% of pictures taken by field staff are not suitable for recognition. That means an enormous waste of resources and costs (especially if you are paying per image). Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning help to pre-analyze photos and ensure accurate recognition. AI algorithms then swiftly process data, offering real-time reports and actionable Recommended Steps for more efficient audits.
