AI-Powered Planogram Recognition
for a Latin American Retail Chain
Client Background
The client is a large retail chain operating across Latin America, with a footprint of 3,500+ store locations. Due to a non-disclosure agreement, the client's name is not publicly shared.
One Logic Soft has partnered with the client since 2022 to bring AI-driven automation to one of retail's most persistent operational problems: verifying that products on the shelf actually match the approved planogram.
Who was the client?
- Retail chain operating 3,500+ stores across Latin America
- Client identity protected under NDA
- Partnership running since 2022, ongoing
Challenge
With thousands of stores to manage, the client had no reliable way to confirm that shelves matched the approved plan.
Solution & Approach
We built an AI-powered system that analyzes photos of in-store shelves and automatically checks whether the actual product layout matches the client's approved planogram, turning a manual, store-by-store audit into an automated, repeatable process.
