How Captana, the VusionGroup’s automated inventory management system, increases sales and profitability at Conad Superstore
Computer Vision uses connected cameras and AI to analyze shelf images, detecting out-of-stocks, planogram deviations, and stock mismatches. It turns these into prioritized actions for store teams, improving merchandising execution, reducing response time, and ensuring more reliable on-shelf availability.
COMPUTER VISION
Positioning:
Essential shelf monitoring
Key differentiators:
Use Cases:
Turn shelf data into prioritized, actionable tasks for store teams
Unify shelf images, stock, and POS data into one execution layer
Identify root causes of recurring shelf issues automatically
Combine the Power of Computer Vision with ESLS
Computer vision reads and interprets the information displayed on electronic shelf labels. With both technologies together, get sharp detection gaps, misplacements and planogram deviation. Help teams prioritize tasks, act faster and reduce manual checks to improve execution and on-shelf availability.
Computer Vision & AI is a computer-vision platform that monitors shelves in real time to provide accurate, actionable inventory insights. Using connected shelf-edge cameras and AI, it identifies empty spaces, misplaced items, and low-stock situations. These insights trigger automated tasks for store teams, improving precision and speed in daily inventory management. Computer Vision & AI turns shelf data into operational decisions that directly support availability, replenishment, and merchandising execution.
Computer Vision & AI detects gaps the moment they appear and immediately alerts store associates. This ensures products are replenished at the right time, improving OSA and reducing lost sales. Retailers use Computer Vision & AI to prioritize tasks based on actual shelf conditions rather than manual scans. As a result, stores maintain stronger product presence across aisles and recover sales that would otherwise be lost when items are missing from the shelf.
Yes. Computer Vision & AI is designed to connect seamlessly with retail IT ecosystems. Data can integrate with POS, ERP, planogram management systems, and supply chain tools to enhance forecasting, replenishment, and store execution workflows. The platform supports standardized APIs, enabling retailers to unify shelf data with operational and supply chain intelligence.
Computer Vision & AI leverages image recognition models trained on millions of shelf and product data points. It consistently identifies gaps, low stock, and planogram deviations with a high level of precision across categories. Its accuracy improves over time through continuous machine learning, making Computer Vision & AI reliable in both high-volume grocery environments and specialty retail contexts.
Computer Vision & AI supports grocery, convenience, drugstores, specialty retail, and mass merchandise formats. Its camera and AI technology adapts to multiple shelf types, from ambient categories to fresh products packaged for shelf display. It scales across small convenience stores to large multi-format retailers with complex assortments.
Computer Vision & AI captures images of shelves—never of customers—and processes them using secure cloud or on-premise infrastructure depending on retailer preference. Data is encrypted, access-controlled, and aligned with privacy standards. Retailers receive only operational insights relevant to inventory, not identifiable shopper information.
Retailers typically see benefits such as increased on-shelf availability, fewer lost sales, improved inventory accuracy, and reduced labor hours spent on manual checks. Computer Vision & AI also supports upstream supply chain efficiencies by providing reliable shelf-level data. ROI comes from recovered revenue, operational savings, and better alignment between demand signals and replenishment actions.
