ShelfSight

AI-powered shelf monitoring and retail execution platform for planogram compliance, promotional display validation, competitor shelf tracking, and shelf-space optimization across store formats.

The Problem

“ShelfSight: AI-powered shelf monitoring and retail execution for consumer goods”

Organizations face these key challenges:

1

Manual store audits are expensive, inconsistent, and low frequency

2

Dashboard-heavy reporting is slow to interpret and often reactive

3

Retailers lack real-time visibility into shelf availability and execution quality

4

Promotional displays and planograms drift from intended layouts between audits

5

Competitor shelf activity is difficult to track consistently across stores

6

Supply chain and retail execution data are fragmented across systems

7

Field teams spend too much time collecting observations instead of resolving issues

Impact When Solved

Reduce manual audit labor by automating shelf observation and compliance checksDetect out-of-stocks, empty facings, and display failures faster than periodic store visitsIncrease planogram and promotional compliance across distributed retail networksProvide executives and field teams with concise AI-generated KPI summaries instead of dashboard-only workflowsImprove forecast accuracy and replenishment planning using shelf signals and demand patternsCreate a closed loop from image capture to issue detection to task assignment to performance reporting

The Shift

Before AI~85% Manual

Human Does

  • •Visit stores, photograph shelves and displays, and complete audit checklists
  • •Compare shelf conditions against approved planograms and promotion requirements
  • •Review reports to identify missing SKUs, poor display execution, and space gaps
  • •Escalate issues to sales teams or store staff and schedule follow-up visits

Automation

  • •No meaningful AI support in the legacy process
  • •Store submitted photos and checklist data in basic reporting tools
  • •Aggregate spreadsheet or audit report data for regional review
With AI~75% Automated

Human Does

  • •Review prioritized compliance exceptions and confirm corrective actions by store or region
  • •Approve escalations for major planogram, promotion, or competitor shelf issues
  • •Handle ambiguous shelf conditions, disputed detections, and retailer-specific exceptions

AI Handles

  • •Analyze shelf photos or video to detect products, facings, shelf positions, and promotional displays
  • •Compare observed shelf conditions against expected planograms and execution standards
  • •Measure share-of-shelf, competitor adjacency, and compliance trends across stores and formats
  • •Prioritize issues by likely sales impact and recommend follow-up actions for each store

Operating Intelligence

How ShelfSight runs once it is live

AI runs the first three steps autonomously.

Humans own every decision.

The system gets smarter each cycle.
