Description
Vantage Point reads the security camera footage retailers already have and flags out-of-stock shelves, misplaced items, and planogram violations in real time, no new hardware required. Live in 40 stores across three regional grocery chains.
Problem
Out-of-stock shelves cost retailers billions a year, and manual shelf checks are too slow and too rare to catch most of it.
Solution
A vision model tuned to run on standard security camera feeds and store-shelf layouts, flagging gaps and misplacements to staff within minutes instead of during the next scheduled walk.
Target market
Regional and national grocery and convenience store chains.
Business model
Per-store monthly SaaS fee, tiered by camera count.

No new hardware to install is the whole pitch here. That's what actually gets retailers to say yes.
