Manual Shelf Audits, Limits

Why Traditional Modern Trade Audits
Fail to Improve Execution

35%
of execution gaps are identified too late. Periodic audits often surface out-of-stocks, planogram deviations and missing displays only after the promotion or selling opportunity has already passed.
15%
variation in manual audit scoring. Facing counts, planogram checks and display reviews can vary between auditors, stores and visits, reducing the consistency of retail execution data.
60%
of shelf issues are not fixed during the same visit. Most audit tools only show what is wrong. They do not tell the merchandiser what to fix before leaving the store.

Planogram Intelligence

Compare Every Shelf with
the Approved Planogram

SCAI Vision compares each shelf scan with the approved planogram and scores facings, position and adjacency done simply by stitching overlapping shots into one. Key account managers and merchandisers can see which store or fixture has moved away from the approved layout without waiting for the next scheduled audit.

Shelf Share and Competitive Visibility

Measure Share of Shelf and Competitor Presence

SCAI Vision measures facings, linear shelf space and eye-level position by stock-keeping unit and brand. It also captures the competitor products shown in the image so teams can compare share-of-shelf results across stores and retail formats.

One Scan, Every Metric

Measure Multiple Shelf-Execution KPIs From One Scan

One shelf scan can provide availability, share-of-shelf, branding-visibility and new-launch distribution checks without separate manual audit steps.

Detect empty shelves before sales are lost

Most audits report OOS after the fact. SCAI Vision trends availability by store, category, and day-part, so gaps surface while there’s still time to restock before the next customer walks the aisle.

Modern Trade Ready

Built for the Precision of Modern Trade

SCAI Vision connects shelf images with store-level compliance, competitor comparison and account-team reporting rather than presenting only a single audit score.

SKU Availability and Assortment Compliance

Each scan is compared with the approved assortment for that store. Missing stock-keeping units are shown as availability gaps for the current visit.

Questions about SCAI Vision for Modern Trade

AI Native IR is image recognition built AI-first at the architecture level as part of a route-to-market platform — not a standalone recognition engine that returns a score.
A merchandiser photographs the shelf, and one scan returns six checks at once:
  • Availability and out-of-stock
  • Share of shelf
  • Planogram compliance
  • Competitor detection
  • Fraud detection
  • POSM compliance

  • The model trains on your SKUs in 3 clicks, scores in under 3 seconds, and runs at 3x lower cost than conventional IR.
    "Native" means the recognition output doesn't stop at measurement. Because SCAI Vision runs on the same composable micro-services platform and the same data spine as SFA, DMS, and eB2B, a detected shelf gap becomes a display task on the merchandiser's app during the same visit, and execution scores feed the same KPI engine leadership already reviews.
    Standalone IR tells you what the shelf looked like; AI Native IR changes what happens to the shelf before the visit ends.
    The merchandiser arrives with the store's tasks already generated, photographs the shelf — including wide fixtures captured as overlapping shots stitched into one image — and gets a score with feedback in under 3 seconds.
    From that single photograph, the scan returns:
  • Availability against the approved assortment
  • Share of shelf against competitors
  • Planogram compliance scored on facings, position, and adjacency
  • Price tag verification
  • POSM and secondary display checks
  • Competitor SKU and pricing capture

  • The visit then continues rather than ending. Gaps become corrective tasks in the app, the merchandiser fixes what can be fixed and re-scans for before-and-after verification, and the store closes with a verified execution record rather than an audit finding. That's the practical difference between an IR tool and IR inside the execution system.
    Yes — and this is where recognition quality is genuinely tested, because competitor differentiation is harder than own-brand detection: variants share pack architecture, and a shelf holds dozens of near-identical facings.
    The system:
  • Identifies competitor SKUs in the image
  • Tracks facings, position, and dominance for share-of-shelf calculation
  • Captures competitor pricing and new product launches alongside

  • Distinguishing near-identical packs is a model-training question, not a feature question — which is why the 3-click training matters here too. Your specific competitive set can be trained into the model for your categories and markets, rather than relying on a generic global catalogue that has never seen the packs on your shelf.
    End caps, gondolas, floor-standing units, and other promotional fixtures are auto-scored alongside the primary shelf, and POSM compliance verifies that display materials, branding assets, and promotional setups are actually in place and correct. Every check carries the photograph, the store, and the date — so execution is evidenced rather than reported.
    This is the highest-value use of IR in modern trade. Display and visibility spend is contracted and paid in advance, so an unexecuted end cap is money already spent for nothing — and the only way to recover or renegotiate it is documented, store-level, dated proof. IR converts trade-spend verification from a sampling exercise into a census.
    AI Native IR runs at 3x lower cost than conventional image recognition, for two structural reasons:
  • The model trains in 3 clicks rather than through a months-long image collection and annotation project
  • Scoring doesn't carry a per-image processing bill of the same order

  • Pricing is modular, so IR is added to your existing platform rather than bought as a separate system with its own integration cost.
    The saving is structural, not a discount: conventional IR is expensive mostly because of what it takes to make it work at all. Exact pricing depends on scope, SKUs, and store count — so get a custom demo and a quote for your assortment.
