Choosing the Ideal Retail Audit Software for your Needs

Retail audit software has revolutionized the way retail audits are performed. Instead of having to deal with mounds of data to be input and analyzed, now retail operations can easily access and interpret the information coming from points-of-sale, with little concern over issues such as clerical errors and fraudulent check-ins.

Choosing a retail audit software, though, can prove to be more complicated than expected, due mostly to the many options available on the market these days. To help with choosing a retail audit software, operations should take into consideration the following points:
  • Budget
    Most retail audit software solutions on the market charge on a cost/user/month basis, but some charge an additional cost/location that can snowball and easily blow up any project budget.
  • Size of retail operation
    Ideally, a retail audit software should be scalable and able to adjust to retail operations big and small, with equal level of service and reliability.
  • Ease of implementation and use
    One of the most frustrating things is business is having to rely on IT departments or outside contractors in order to deal with mission-critical devices and applications. Choosing a retail audit software solution that requires no specific hardware, installations, downloads, deployment, etc, will make the implementation process a lot simpler.
  • Data access and authentication
    Cloud-hosting is the ideal situation for retail audit software solutions, since it is paramount for it to be operational and accessible 24/7.

From new university-level courses to magazine articles and social media posts, daily we encounter new information on artificial intelligence and machine learning. But how can those new technologies be applied to improve retail operations? One of the main ways that machine learning can help retail is when it comes to quantifying data that previously came as individual pieces of information while surveying stores, such as images. Image recognition in retail is one of the best examples of the use of machine learning in merchandising applications.  Machine learning allows images to be fed by programmers into a mobile merchandising system in order to train a neural network to identify product faces on outlet shelves. Then, field staff can simply take pictures of the store shelves on their mobile merchandising apps and the system will be able to identify - with accuracy that reaches 95% - the number of faces of t...
