Retail execution
Every store, the way HQ planned it.
Openings, campaigns, planograms and prices checked at every store, with the photo, count or price behind each one.
Shelf price and promotion check
ExamplePhoto of the shelf tag
- In the system
- ₹229.00
- On the tag
- ₹249.00
- MRP on pack
- ₹260.00
Tag is ₹20 above the system price
Re-print the tag before a customer is charged differently.
Example: a shelf tag for olive oil at the Koregaon Park store is read as ₹249, but the system price is ₹229, so the check flags it and asks for the tag to be re-printed.

Are the shelves full?
The checklist says:
"A few gaps"Ops AI checks: Empty spaces counted from the aisle photo

Questions
Quick answers.
What the AI doesn't do
It doesn't compare the photo with a planogram image, and it doesn't connect to your POS. It reads the planogram's code, counts facings, spots gaps, reads tags and till screens, and checks each photo against what you say it must show.
Can it check displays against our VM guidelines?
Yes. Each photo question says what the display must show, and the AI checks every photo against it as it's taken. It also counts facings and reads tags; on an aisle walk it counts the empty spaces.
Does it connect to our POS?
Not today. Staff test-scan an item at the till and photograph the screen; the AI reads the price charged and checks it against the shelf tag and MRP.
Can we roll out a campaign checklist to every store at once?
Yes. Send it to every store, a region or chosen stores, with a due time, and see which ones are done.
Does it stop staff reusing old photos?
Photos come from the in-app camera unless a question allows the gallery, and every one is stamped with the time and place.
Can franchisees use it?
Yes. Access follows your structure: each franchisee sees their own stores, and HQ sees the network.
Bring one campaign. See which stores have it up.
We'll set up your launch checklist and show you what the photos catch, store by store.
