Scanning-as-a-Service · A New Model for Shelf Intelligence

Shelf Intelligence
Built Differently.

No robots to buy. No labor to add. No operational burden. ShelfOptix™ owns the hardware, runs the program, and delivers ground-truth shelf intelligence — backed by 15,000 associates ready to act on every insight.

How It Works

A New Model

We scan. We analyze.
We execute.

Three integrated steps replace what used to require three separate vendors, two capital projects, and a dedicated operations team.

Step 01 — Scan

Scan

Portable robots delivered and human-escorted through your stores. Highest-resolution imaging in the industry. Flexible scheduling by store, category, promotion, or reset.

Step 02 — Insights

Insights

AI synthesizes millions of data points into prescriptive recommendations — OOS, phantom inventory, chronic OOS, price compliance, and POG integrity — in a single BI dashboard.

Step 03 — Action

Action

15,000 W-2 associates backed by Driveline Retail turn insight into in-store execution — replenishment, ordering, pricing correction — all within a single integrated program.

Intelligence Platform

Five critical shelf signals.
One prescriptive platform.

Shelf imagery alone isn't enough. ShelfOptix™ synthesizes robot scans with planogram, POS, and on-hand inventory data to detect the five most costly shelf execution failures — each with a clear, prioritized action.

Step 02 — Insights Insights

Shelf visibility into clear action

Our AI synthesizes millions of data points into prescriptive recommendations delivered through an intuitive BI dashboard — not just what's happening, but why it's happening and exactly what to do next.

OOS & shelf voids — detected and confirmed by robot imagery
Phantom inventory — on-hand says stocked, shelf says empty
Chronic OOS — recurring patterns that signal ordering or supply issues
POG integrity — position, facing, and adjacency verified against planogram
Price compliance — shelf tag accuracy matched to POS at SKU level

Step 03 — Action Action

Intelligence meets execution

Through our 15,000-person merchandising workforce — backed by Driveline Retail, the nation's largest retail merchandising company — shelf insights become in-store results: items replenished, ordered, and priced correctly.

15,000 W-2 associates acting on every insight
250,000+ store projects managed annually
Mobile worklists delivered to associates at store level
Insight and execution — not two separate vendors

Competitive Clarity

ShelfOptix™ vs. the
traditional model.

Fixed-install robots require capital, operators, and a separate workforce to act. ShelfOptix™ removes every one of those barriers.

	ShelfOptix™	Fixed-Install Robots	Manual Audits
Upfront capital required	None — pure OpEx	High ($50K–$200K+)	Low, but labor-heavy
Store labor required	Zero — fully staffed	Yes — monitoring & recovery	Yes — full audit teams
Scan frequency flexibility	Any cadence, by category	Fixed route, fixed schedule	Limited by headcount
Integrated remediation	15,000 W-2 associates	Data only — no execution	Separate vendor required
Image resolution	Highest in industry	Moderate	Photo quality varies
Multi-retailer coverage	Syndicated across network	One retailer per install	Possible, but costly
Time to first insight	Days, not months	Months (procurement + install)	Weeks

What Sets Us Apart

Flexible by design.
Built for syndication.

Competitors can scan shelves. Only ShelfOptix™ combines syndicated robotics, AI analytics, human accountability, and a national execution workforce into one fully managed program.

Syndicated Robot Network

Portable robots shared dynamically across multiple stores — dramatically reducing per-store cost. You pay for data, not idle hardware.

Always Human-Escorted

Every scan conducted with a trained escort — ensuring safety, scan quality, and real-time escalation. No unattended robot programs.

Highest Resolution Imaging

Industry-leading image resolution delivers more accurate detection of OOS, price tags, POG compliance, and realogram validation.

Flexible Scan Scheduling

Unlike fixed-install robots, ShelfOptix™ scans on configurable schedules — resets, promotions, supply chain events, or any cadence you need.

15,000-Person Workforce

Backed by Driveline Retail — the nation's largest retail merchandising company — ShelfOptix™ can identify and fix shelf issues in a single program.

Zero Store Labor Required

ShelfOptix™ arrives fully staffed and managed. No store associate time. No scheduling burden. No training overhead.
