Smart Store FAQs
There are multiple ways in which this can be done:
- App-based image/video capture by the store staff or brand members
- Continuous monitoring through a dedicated camera set-up in front of key shelves
- Utilize the existing CCTV set-up, depending on the camera angle and quality
While in most cases the store staff does take images and videos themselves, we do have partnerships with gig-economy workers who can contribute by capturing these images. Tasks and frequency are assigned based on the business need and the gig-workers execute these tasks. We have a mechanism to monitor the quality of content being fed to our backend in order to refine the output and insights delivered to the stakeholders.
While other rely solely on CV-based information, RDEP couples its Smart Store solution with the e-receipt solution. This allows our platform to not just monitor the shelves, but also adds the valuable information of product sales. This in turn strengthens the quality of data output because we’re no longer talking just visual, but we’re also backing it up with sales data in real time.
