Forbes - 2019 Most Promising AI Companies Bossa Nova worked with the world’s largest retailers to create the leading AI-based image capture and analysis engine based on the market’s broadest library of images of grocery, general merchandise, and consumable products. Embedding Bossa Nova into your mobile app allows you to give your retail and CPG clients super powers: that is, x-ray vision into the real-time status of their products, promotions, planograms, shelves, stockrooms, and inventory. How do we do this? Bossa Nova identifies and locates every product, display and promotion in a store, and captures metadata that ties these products across stores and regions. For example, clients can compare category mixes across stores, correlate to sales, and infer optimal category placements. MORE COVERAGE Bossa Nova interprets images based upon the broadest labelled product library in the industry. This means that you can quickly increase your services to cover more brands, categories, and products. DELIVER SUPERIOR INSIGHT Retailers and CPGs have many questions about the shopper experience that just cannot be answered by the technologies and data available to them today. Point-of-sale, inventory data, and photos can only tell you what happened yesterday, not provide insight into what shoppers are seeing right now. Bossa Nova interprets images taken in the field in real-time and delivers detailed data and analytics for promotional displays, merchandising, product location, pricing, and stock outs—just to name a few.
