AI IR and OCR

In-store execution has never been more cost-efficient with SmartSpotter ShelfWatch. Using the combined power of crowdsourcing and Artificial Intelligence, any FMCG Company can increase its bottom line by achieving full coverage in auditing, getting faster, timely and accurate results.

Ensuring better outcomes when gathering data 

Handling the labelling of enough data with only internal field resources is a time-consuming, expensive, and inefficient task. In addition, retail auditing requires addressing fundamental problems adequately, which means that it demands significant coverage levels of stores. 

Say no more to conducting audits manually or relying on self-assessments while not accurately gathering large amounts of data. Together, SmartSpotter and Parallel Dot's ShelfWatch provide an opportunity to facilitate high-quality performance with faster results, driving better in-store execution and excellence in merchandising. 

ShelfWatch analyses shelf images & displays and provides corrective feedback to generate strategies that allow suppliers and retailers to maximize operational performance and sales. 
 

Get ahead of the race

Our 100,000+ network of Spotters can collect all photographic evidence for you. Alternatively, you can choose to do so using your internal Field Team, reducing their time in stores by 65%.

Now you can transition from a fixed-based resource model to an increasingly flexible, task-based, and cost-effective one that shows timely and accurate results. 
Self-digitalized audits with image recognition technology provide broader coverage. A more comprehensive coverage contributes to improved capacity of managing data and monitoring operational processes, which ultimately increases the customer's bottom line. All this without manual operations or extensive paperwork. It has never been more accessible and user friendly!
