Solution / Retail Planogram

Get your shelves right.

On-prem computer vision and analytics that turn a shelf photo into a structured layout. See which row, facing and product is working, then decide what to change.

01 / The problem

The floor and the numbers don't agree.

Where is everything?

Manual shelf audits are slow. The layout changes again before the report travels back to head office.

The shelf is a blind spot.

POS tells you a product sold. It doesn't tell you which row held it or whether the planned facing was there.

Data without a decision.

A store-wide number does not explain which shelf needs attention this morning.

02 / How it works

From a photo to a decision.

01

Capture

Photograph a shelf with a phone. No special capture rig.

02

Detect + review

Match products to the catalog. A person confirms the uncertain ones.

03

Connect

Tie the structured shelf to sales, down to the row and product.

04

Act

Work from a prioritized list of exceptions, not an undirected spreadsheet.

03 / The product

See the store as work you can act on.

The store, prioritized.

A morning list surfaces empty slots, top sellers that stalled and shelves overdue for a capture. Rank attention by revenue at risk.

Every shelf, as a report.

Revenue, products, facings, a 30-day trend and revenue by weekday, in one shelf report. Export a PDF for store operations.

What a shelf report contains
ShelfRow → Product → Facing
Sales + captured layout
Trend + weekday view
Review → PDF → Store ops

The sales, explained.

Category share, daily revenue and products gaining or losing momentum. Read the individual SKU rather than only the whole department.

From the store to the shelf
StoreShelfRowProductFacing

Increasing resolution, not a claim of increasing revenue.

Shelves

Layout, capture history, facings and catalog gaps in one place.

Products

What moves, what stalls, and where each SKU sits on the floor.

Stores

Capture coverage and revenue across locations.

04 / On-prem

Your data stays in the building.

The deployment runs locally on retailer hardware. Shelf photos and POS data stay on-site, with no vendor-controlled cloud required.

Local data

Keep capture and sales together inside your own infrastructure.

Your model

You own the model, rather than paying per seat, store or call.

Infrastructure, not a slogan

Hardware, installation and operation still have costs. Scope those against the actual store environment.

05 / How it compares

06 / Deployment evidence

Built with a supermarket chain.

A large retailer in Southeast Asia runs this today. The client is unnamed. Here is exactly what that deployment shows, and what we do not claim.

What is evidenced

Shelf, row and slot-level visibility from a phone photo, with a human check on every uncertain match.

What we do not claim

No verified before/after dataset is published. Public demo dashboards use fictional stores and illustrative figures, not customer results.
