Scanning as a Service · Always Human-Escorted

The Shelf,
As It Actually Is. Stop losing revenue to problems you can't see.

Billions in retail sales are lost every year to out-of-stocks, phantom inventory, POG violations, and price mismatches — problems invisible to POS data. ShelfOptix deploys a robot to your stores on a shared, flexible schedule — always accompanied by a trained associate — and converts high resolution shelf imagery into precise, AI-driven intelligence. Retailers get prioritized action lists that make store teams dramatically more efficient. Brands get verified shelf visibility at their retail partners. No robot to own. No disruption. Results in days. Not Just Visibility - Execution at Scale.

Always Human-Escorted
A trained ShelfOptix associate walks every aisle alongside the robot — managing scan quality, shopper safety, and real-time issues. No unattended robots. No store liability. No surprises.
We Bring Everything
Robot, equipment, and trained associate arrive together. Zero prep required from your team. No infrastructure. No scheduling burden. We show up ready to scan.
We Leave It As We Found It
When the scan is complete, we pack up and move on. Your store is exactly as we found it. No robot living in your aisles. No permanent footprint. Zero disruption.

Every day your shelf is wrong,
you're leaving money on the table.

Out-of-stocks, phantom inventory, POG violations, and price mismatches don't just frustrate shoppers — they cost measurable revenue. For retailers, these are execution failures invisible until they show up as lost sales. For CPG brands, they represent broken distribution promises and failed trade investments. The data to fix this already exists on your shelves. ShelfOptix captures it, analyzes it, and makes it actionable — before more sales are lost.

We do the heavy lifting.
You get the intelligence.

Three steps. Most of the work is on our side. We arrive, we scan, we analyze — and you receive precise, prioritized intelligence ready to act on. Whether that means routing exceptions to your store teams, your retail partners, or our own field force is entirely your call.

Step 01 — We Scan
We Arrive. We Scan. We Leave.

We deliver a portable robot to your store and a trained ShelfOptix associate walks every aisle alongside it — managing the scan path, ensuring shopper safety, and handling any real-time issues. When the scan is complete, we pack up and leave. Your store manager never babysits a robot. No liability exposure. No permanent disruption.

Always Human-Escorted — No Exceptions
Every ShelfOptix scan is staffed by a trained associate accountable for scan quality, shopper safety, and store condition. No unattended robots. Ever.
ShelfOptix handles this entirely

Step 02 — We Analyze
AI Turns Images Into Answers

Our AI processes millions of shelf images — cross-referenced against planograms, inventory data, and price files — to identify every out-of-stock, phantom item, POG violation, and price mismatch. Results are ranked by revenue impact, not just flagged as problems. Not just what's wrong — but what's costing you the most, and exactly where it is.

ShelfOptix handles this entirely

Step 03 — You Act
Intelligence Routed to Action

Prioritized exceptions are delivered as actionable intelligence — routed to whoever needs to act. Retailers get mobile worklists sent to their existing store associates. Brands get verified shelf data and documented proof of distribution, pricing, and display compliance. Need execution support? Our 15,000-person field team is available — but it's always your call.

Your team acts — or ours, your choice

The Syndication Model
One robot rotates across
many of your stores

Instead of a robot living in each store full-time, ShelfOptix operates a network of portable robots that rotate across multiple locations on a scheduled basis. The cost of the robot, its maintenance, insurance, and operation is spread across many clients and stores. You pay only for the scan data and intelligence you receive — at a fraction of what a dedicated-per-store model would cost.

  • Flexible cadence — weekly, bi-weekly, or reset-driven scheduling
  • Scan specific categories, departments, or full store — your choice
  • Store maps and category realograms included in every scan
  • Scale to any number of locations without additional CapEx
  • No robot in your store between scans — zero ongoing disruption
Why human escort also means better data: Competitors' fixed-install robots can get stuck, miss aisles, or produce incomplete scans with no one to intervene. ShelfOptix's trained escorts ensure the robot covers exactly what was scoped — every aisle, every time — and escalate any issues in real time. It's not just safer. It produces demonstrably higher-quality data.

Human-Escorted Scans
Every scan. Every store. No exceptions.

Choose how far ShelfOptix goes for you.

The intelligence layer stands completely on its own. Driveline execution is an optional amplifier — not a requirement. Start with insights and expand when you're ready.

All tiers include a fully human-escorted scan — always.

Tier 01
Shelf Intelligence

Ground truth shelf data delivered to you. Use it however fits your organization — route it yourself, share it with partners, or feed it into your existing workflows.

  • Human-escorted robotic scanning on your schedule
  • OOS, phantom inventory, POG & price compliance detection
  • AI analytics dashboard & reporting
  • Store maps and category realograms
  • Exception reports and data exports
Human-escorted scan included
Tier 03
Intelligence + Driveline Execution

ShelfOptix finds the problems. Driveline fixes them. The only shelf intelligence platform backed by a national field force — available when you need surge capacity, resets, or execution support.

  • Everything in Tier 02
  • Driveline associates dispatched to action on exceptions
  • In-store replenishment, resets, and display execution
  • Photo confirmation of completed tasks
  • 15,000 W-2 associates across the US — no contractor network
Human-escorted scan included
Optional, not required. Many clients start with Tier 01 or 02 and add Driveline Retail execution for resets, new store builds, or promotion windows when their own teams need support.

It looks complicated.
It isn't. Most of the work is ours.

The most common thing we hear after onboarding is "that was easier than we expected." Here's exactly why — and what your team actually has to do (very little).

Why own a robot when
you can buy the insights?

Traditional robot programs saddle stores with hardware, maintenance, and liability — and leave robots roaming your aisles unattended. ShelfOptix flips the model entirely.

Traditional Model
Robot in Store
High CapEx — you own & depreciate the hardware
Robot lives in-store, consuming store labor & supervision
Unattended robot — shopper safety risk, liability exposure
Robot can get stuck, miss aisles, produce incomplete data
Data only — no execution capability, no remediation force
One robot per store — expensive to scale across a chain
Fixed schedule — no flexibility by store, category, or event
Months of setup before first usable scan
VS
ShelfOptix™ Model
Scanning as a Service
Pure OpEx — buy insights, not robots. $0 CapEx ever.
Portable robot arrives, scans, and leaves — zero store footprint
Always human-escorted — trained associate on every scan, every time
Human escort ensures complete coverage and highest data quality
Optional Driveline execution — 15,000 W-2 associates ready to act
Syndication model scales to any chain size — same low per-store cost
Flexible schedules by store, category, promotion, or reset window
