ShelfScan Offerings

Repsly's AI Image Recognition solution, ShelfScan, supports two primary offerings.

Real-Time Action

ShelfAssist

Real-time AI Image Recognition results generated from shelf photos within 60 seconds of capture, enabling field representatives to take immediate action on OSA issues.

AI-Powered Reporting

ShelfAnalytics

Gather critical retail KPIs in seconds from shelf photos, positioning leadership teams to leverage the power of advanced AI Image Recognition reports delivered within 24 hours of analysis.

How does it work?

Capture

Reps capture photos using Repsly’s ShelfScan functionality via the Repsly mobile app and submit them for processing.

Analyze

The uploaded photos are stitched together, and photo details are analyzed with information previously used to train the AI models.

ShelfAssist

Within 60 seconds after submitting photos, the Rep receives real-time AI results to take action on OSA issues identified after analysis.

ShelfAnalytics

AI technology delivers advanced reporting metrics directly to Repsly's Insights Dashboards within 24 hours based on several retail KPIs.

AI Image Recognition technology has finally evolved to where it is actually feasible to drive significant value for those who adopt it. Many brands will leverage AI Image Recognition capabilities to more efficiently drive their retail initiatives. Those that don't at least explore the possibilities around this opportunity risk losing some of their competitive edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about AI Image Recognition? Our FAQs cover everything from basic functionality to how it can transform your retail execution.

Image Recognition analyzes audit photos with precision and speed based on important images and KPIs used to train the AI, identifying patterns and details that the human eye may miss.

This advanced technology provides insightful data, allowing for faster, more informed decisions, ultimately driving efficiency and strategic advantage in retail execution.

The flow to capturing an AI Image Recognition photo will be triggered by a button labeled ShelfScan inside the Repsly mobile app. This button lives in the same activity area that a rep accesses when they check in to any location, causing no disruption to their daily workflows.

When a Rep chooses to use ShelfScan, informational prompts inside the Repsly mobile app will walk the Rep through how to take an AI Image Recognition photo successfully!

To get started with AI Image Recognition, our team of experts will first guide you through a three-phase proof of concept (POC).

This POC includes (1) Kickoff, Training, & Configuration, (2) Go-Live: User Acceptance Testing (UAT), (3) and ROI Analysis.

Once the POC is completed, you can determine if you would like to move forward with a full implementation and launch of AI Image Recognition.

This is a common occurrence, and we would expect you to launch new SKUs over time. Once a new SKU is introduced, we'll need high-resolution, front-facing photos to submit to the AI Image Recognition model for training.

The timeline to seeing results with Image Recognition is dependent on a number of factors, but none more important than how quickly you introduce AI Image Recognition into the workflow of your Reps.

The quicker you can integrate AI Image Recognition photos into the day-to-day work of your Reps, the more data you will be collecting and have the opportunity to take action on.
