There’s a lack of actionable visibility in-store which is hindering productivity and execution. Todays solutions to get visibility at the store level are through manual audits which are inaccurate, take up too much time to complete, and are too delayed to take action. As part of their daily workflow, field reps use the Snap2Insight app to take pictures during their visits to stores. Pictures are quickly analyzed using breakthrough AI technology and before they leave the store, they have actionable insights to help alleviate challenges tied to out of stock items, share of shelf, displays, and more. The biggest names in CPG such as Pepsi, ITG, and Clorox use Snap2Insight to improve execution and increase sales. Snap2Insightss unique and patent pending computer vision technology is built on a foundation of cutting edge research and collaboration with industry experts – involving deep learning. Snap2Insight is an AI startup serving product manufacturers (CPGs), retailers and merchandisers (SMAs). We use breakthrough image recognition and deep learning to provide visibility into how products are merchandised and promoted across stores. Product Manufacturers use merchandising and trade promotions related insights we provide to increase sales, reduce costs and improve trade promotion executions, AI and big data analytics. Key capabilities of our cloud hosted retail execution analytics platform include instance (SKU) level product recognition, display execution verification and scoring, agent (rep) score-carding, analytics, web dashboards and support of programmatic interfaces . #tradepromotions #retailexecution #cpg #retail #storeoperations #tradeoptimization #retailanalytics #shelftruth #shelfinsights
