    Shelf audits at every visit instead of a quarterly sample

    A consumer brand with field reps across a region replaces manual shelf counting with a photo per bay, turning every store visit into structured availability and share of shelf data.

    Illustrative pilot scenario built from publicly available industry practice and the KLIQ platform's capabilities. It is not a named customer reference and contains no customer data.

    The situation

    Manual audits are expensive, so only a sample of stores gets audited and only a few times a year. Out of stocks and planogram drift are discovered long after they cost sales.

    The manual baseline

    • Reps count facings by hand and type them into a form after the visit
    • Coverage is limited to a sample, so regional decisions rest on partial data
    • Data lands days later, too late to act on a specific store

    What KLIQ changes

    • The rep photographs the bay, the platform detects products, facings and gaps
    • Availability, share of shelf and planogram compliance are computed per photo
    • Low confidence detections are routed to human verification before reporting

    Indicative outcomes

    Audit coverage

    Every visit

    Audit effort drops enough that sampling is no longer needed

    Detection time

    From 3 seconds

    Results come back while the rep is still in the aisle

    Rep time per bay

    A photo instead of a count

    Counting and data entry are removed from the visit

    Integration

    Detections flow into Salesforce, Dynamics 365 or an existing BI stack, so field teams and category managers work in the tools they already use.
