Core offering

Vision Group Retail sells an AI-powered retail execution platform — an AI Operating System for Retail — that combines computer vision shelf image recognition, IoT connected-cooler monitoring, assortment optimization, AI-generated planograms, and agentic execution to help CPG brands and retailers detect out-of-stocks, verify planogram compliance, and trigger replenishment orders in real time. The platform is sold via enterprise SaaS subscriptions priced on store and SKU count, plus IoT hardware for connected cooler assets. It serves 340+ enterprise customers across 75+ countries with named clients including Coca-Cola, Nestlé, L'Oréal, Mars, Red Bull, Kenvue, and Wegmans.

The platform includes core execution products: Store360 (AI image recognition for shelf audits), EZPOG/PDFtoPOG/PicToPOG (planogram tools), IoT/Autonomous Retail (smart cooler monitoring), and ClickToWin (execution gamification).
