What we shipped

A mobile-first platform where reps capture shelf photos that computer vision analyzes against planograms in real time.

Challenge

Consumer goods companies rely on in-store execution for visibility and sales. Sales reps and merchandisers visit stores to inspect shelves, verify planogram compliance, and find placement opportunities.

Approach

Blueprint → AI Pilot → Production launch → Scale and operate.

We followed the Datablooz Delivery Model. See our process.

  1. Blueprint

    Defined SKU taxonomy, planogram definitions, and the capture workflow for reps in store.

  2. AI Pilot

    Trained computer vision on shelf imagery to detect products, facings, and misplacements, validated in live stores.

  3. Production launch

    Deployed the planogram comparison engine with real-time in-store guidance on mobile.

  4. Scale and operate

    Added out-of-stock alerts, promo effectiveness analysis, competitor monitoring, and planogram optimization.
