What PAZO does

Pazo (Pazo Innovations Private Limited) is a mobile-first, AI-powered operations excellence platform headquartered in Bangalore, India with a US entity in Wilmington, Delaware. The company sells to retail chains, facility management operators, coworking space providers, and shopping malls, replacing paper checklists, manual store audits, WhatsApp-based reporting, and fragmented spreadsheets with a digital system that delivers real-time visibility into multi-site operations. Named enterprise customers include Bata, Jockey, Victoria's Secret, Wakefit, Soch, Metro, Tata, Jubilant Consumer, TVS, Central, Colliers, Reliance Retail, Sodexo, CBRE, GMR, Pacific Mall, Qualcomm, and PNG Jewellers, among roughly 150 brands across 11 countries.

The platform is built around an AI/computer vision engine that processes shelf photos for planogram compliance, missing-SKU detection, and visual merchandising validation in under 3 seconds per image, backed by geo-tagged image verification, smart time-bound digital checklists, QR-code-triggered issue reporting, multi-level escalation workflows, and integrations with POS, ERP, workforce management, and collaboration systems (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp). Product modules include Visual Merchandising, Retail Task Management, Store Execution, Employee Onboarding & Training, Daily Sales Report automation, New Product Launch Shelf Checklist, Facility Operations Management, Coworking Operations Management, and Checklist Templates. Pazo has filed an Indian patent for its AI VM technology and holds ISO 27001 certification.

The company operates a hybrid product-led growth and enterprise field sales motion, offering self-serve free trials for smaller teams alongside consultative demos and POCs for large retail and FM chains, distributing through iOS, Android, and Huawei AppGallery as well as direct enterprise sales. Revenue is generated through SaaS subscriptions priced per user or per location, though specific pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed. Disclosed funding is modest, with participation in Techstars and Upekkha accelerators, a 2018 round led by METRO Xcel with Techstars, and a 2023 transaction involving Dell Technologies.
