Image Recognition for Retail

IR – Image Recognition for Retail

Automate shelf audits and compliance checks using computer vision—verify pricing, availability and planogram accuracy in real time.

Problems We Solve

IR eliminates manual shelf audits and improves execution visibility through real-time image recognition.

Manual and Time-Consuming Shelf Audits

Traditional retail audits rely on manual data capture and visual checks, which are slow, inconsistent, and prone to human error. Smollan’s Image Recognition solution replaces this with real-time shelf image capture and automated AI analysis — providing instant insights into compliance, availability, and display quality.

    Inaccurate or Unverified Pricing on Shelf

    Manual price checking can’t keep up with fast-changing promotions and price changes. The IR platform automatically detects and verifies shelf prices, flags discrepancies, and ensures alignment with system data — improving pricing accuracy and shopper trust.

      Planogram Non-Compliance and Display Errors

      Planogram compliance is critical but difficult to measure at scale. Using advanced computer vision, IR compares live shelf images to approved layouts, verifying facings, placements, and brand visibility — helping retailers and brands ensure perfect execution in every store.

        Out-of-Stocks and Missed Sales Opportunities

        Out-of-stocks directly impact revenue and shopper satisfaction, yet are often discovered too late. IR identifies missing products instantly from shelf images and triggers alerts for replenishment — reducing lost sales and ensuring consistent product availability across stores.

          How It Works

          IR uses AI and computer vision to capture and analyse shelf conditions—helping teams detect pricing issues, availability gaps and planogram non-compliance.
