Despite its importance, on-shelf availability of products tended to be tracked manually, not only leaving a lot of room for human errors in data collection and transcribing but also little opportunity for planning.
With advances in mobile technology, merchandising apps helped expedite the process, but it still left room for errors when it came to misidentifying products or improperly counting faces or calculating percentages.
Now, artificial intelligence is bringing in the newest developments in mobile merchandising software with product recognition for on-shelf availability detection. What this means is that merchandisers at stores will only need to take one picture of the target product shelf and data - such as on-shelf availability and share of shelf - will be automatically extracted from it, making it possible for merchandising and distribution managers to generate instant reports and tweak their planning in order to avoid out-of-stocks.
BrandML is the product recognition technology for on-shelf availability detection from VisitBasis. Not only does it bring state-of-the-art tools to merchandising software, but BrandML is also cost-effective and fast to implement.
