Merchandisers and regional managers work from prioritized exceptions instead of searching aisle by aisle.
Create timestamped evidence, assign corrective work and verify that each issue is closed.

Discuss this scenarioProduct vision · in development
The ShelfGuide robot is being developed as a new capture layer for the same AI engine: move through aisles, observe shelves and send prioritized actions to store teams.
It does not replace teams. It automates the search for anomalies so people can spend more time correcting, advising and serving shoppers.
A team member captures a shelf and receives structured issues and actions.
Standardize routes, coverage and recurring controls across stores.
Continuous capture and synchronization with the ShelfGuide action platform.

Concept visual — design, capabilities and availability may evolve.
One intelligence layer, two capture modes
Computer vision analyzes the same shelf signals.
Exceptions enter the same prioritized action queue.
Managers keep one network view across mobile and autonomous audits.
Describe your network, audit volume or biggest shelf challenge. The assistant covers product, impact, limitations and rollout questions.
Product, impact and roadmap knowledge
Pilot ready
From one photo, detect stock gaps and execution issues instantly. Your teams act faster, and your stores stay on track.
