Retail area monitored by ChangeAIQ

Shelves · Displays · Planograms

Shelf gaps and planogram drift caught before customers notice.

The perfect shelf lasts about an hour. ChangeAIQ compares the live shelf with the planogram photo and tells staff which facings to fill and which display drifted.

What goes wrong today

The change happens long before anyone sees it.

  • Out-of-stock facings cost sales silently all day.
  • Planogram compliance is audited a few times a year.
  • Store staff walk the floor looking for problems by eye.

Example

Baseline vs. scan, side by side.

The left photo is what you taught ChangeAIQ. The right one is a later scan, with every change boxed and named on the image itself.

What it detects

Trained on the details of retail.

Shelf gaps

Empty facings are counted so replenishment is targeted, not guessed.

Planogram drift

Products in the wrong position or facing the wrong way are flagged as changed.

Display integrity

Promotional displays are checked against the launch photo across every store.

How it works

Four steps, one phone.

Illustration: photograph the area, AI reads every object, two visits are compared, an alert is sent

Step 1

Photograph the planogram

Capture each bay exactly as it should look after set-up.

Step 2

AI learns the layout

Products, facings and positions are recognised from the photo.

Step 3

Scan during the day

Staff scan bays on their round; every scan is compared instantly.

Step 4

Fill the right gaps

A prioritised list of bays and facings goes straight to the floor team.

In practice

Write the rule the way you would say it.
