Planogram Compliance Using AR + AI
Case Overview
Industry: Retail / Food and Beverage
Solution: META-aivi
A national supermarket chain used META-aivi to improve planogram compliance by assisting store teams with product placement verification, shelf label checks, and replenishment support.
The Case
Maintaining Planogram Compliance Across Retail Stores
Maintaining planogram compliance across a large store network requires retailers to ensure products are placed in the correct shelf positions, matched with the correct shelf labels, and replenished when stock gaps occur.
With a diverse product assortment, multiple brands, and frequent shelf changes, the customer needed a more efficient way to conduct shelf audits and maintain consistent merchandising execution across locations.
The Challenge
Reducing Errors in Manual Retail Audits
Manual planogram audits required employees to inspect shelves item by item, making it difficult to efficiently verify large product assortments across multiple stores. Similar product packaging, frequent inventory changes, and varying employee experience increased the risk of misplaced products, shelf label errors, and delayed replenishment.
The Solution
AI-Assisted Shelf Auditing for Planogram Compliance
META-aivi provides AI-assisted shelf auditing to help retail teams maintain planogram compliance across store locations. The system recognizes products, distinguishes similar product variants, verifies placement against the planogram, checks shelf labels, and identifies shelf gaps requiring replenishment.
Deployed on smartphones, META-aivi allows employees to perform mobile shelf audits during store operations. The solution can also integrate with IP cameras for continuous shelf monitoring and real-time notifications to support replenishment workflows.
META-aivi verifies product placement against the planogram, confirms corresponding shelf labels, and detects shelf gaps requiring restocking. The system supports retail staff in maintaining accurate shelf execution across stores.
