Ai Vision Technology

I’ve been working together for more than a 5 years. 5 years of building something is a long time, packed with lots of initiatives, especially when the client had enterprise level aspirations from the start. I designed their core product offering: A linear process for helping workers increase on shelf availability, through vision technology.

Not having products on shelves and not having full visibility of the shelf status is a real problem for retailers. And it’s inevitable due to inefficiency and inaccuracy of traditional paper planograms and manual lists. All of it requiring extensive manual work from store employees, causing frequent errors in product placement, wasted time, and a negative impact on sales.

Picture a store where every shelf tells a story. Not just to browsing customers, but to the very heart of your operation. That's Store Intelligence in action, keeping track of more data points at any given second than a human could in a lifetime.

Advanced AI and vision - a perfect match

Previously store workers used papers to match the real situation on the ground (the shelves) and the planned placement of products or their availability. This was, and still is, tiresome and prone to error. Our dynamic duo tirelessly compares planograms to real-time shelf images, spotting discrepancies human eyes might miss.

But information without action is just noise. So we built algorithm based action work-lists. Think of it as a to-do list that not only tells you what needs doing but prioritizes tasks based on their impact. It's like having a retail guru in your ear, guiding your every move.

Beyond the Shelf

Through the years as aspirations grew, the things we worked on “diversified” as well. My work stretched from designing internal tooling apps for setting up store vision cameras, building pitch decks to wow investors and secure funding, to following the changes and shifts in usability and accessibility through the years.
