What is Retano VeriShelf AI and what retail problem does it solve?

Retano VeriShelf AI is an AI-powered shelf recognition solution that automatically compares real shelf photos with approved planograms. It helps retailers detect missing products, shelf gaps, and layout deviations that negatively impact on-shelf availability and execution quality.

How are shelf recognition results turned into actions for store staff?

When shelf gaps or layout deviations are detected, Retano VeriShelf AI converts recognition results into tasks for store staff. Tasks indicate what needs to be corrected and where, and updated shelf photos can be used for follow-up verification.

Q: What types of shelf issues can Retano VeriShelf AI automatically detect?

Retano VeriShelf AI detects missing products on shelves, incorrect SKU placement, and deviations from approved planograms. Recognition is performed at shelf and individual product (SKU) levels, enabling objective identification of execution issues across stores.

Q: How does shelf recognition automation support execution control in large retail networks where manual checks no longer scale?

Manual shelf photo checks can work for small retail chains but become impractical in large networks with hundreds or thousands of stores. Retano VeriShelf AI applies the same planogram-based recognition logic across all locations, enabling consistent execution control without relying on manual review capacity.

FAQ

What types of shelf issues can VeriShelf AI automatically detect?

Retano VeriShelf AI automatically detects missing products on shelves, incorrect SKU placement, and deviations from approved planograms. Recognition is performed at shelf and individual product (SKU) levels, enabling objective identification of execution issues such as gaps, misplaced items, and non-compliant layouts.

How are recognition results turned into actions for store staff?

Retano VeriShelf AI converts recognition results into tasks for store staff when shelf gaps or planogram deviations are detected. Tasks indicate which products or positions require correction, and updated shelf photos can be used for follow-up verification, enabling consistent execution control rather than one-time visual checks.

How does shelf recognition automation support execution control in large retail networks where manual checks no longer scale?

Retano VeriShelf AI replaces subjective manual photo reviews with automated, rule-based shelf verification. The same recognition logic is applied across all stores and shelves, allowing retailers to control planogram execution consistently at scale without increasing manual review effort.
