Shelf Intelligence & Inventory Monitoring
Real-time empty shelf detection and mobile-assisted stock verification to close the gap between what's on the planogram and what's actually on the shelf.
Continuous shelf monitoring turns out-of-stock gaps into an immediate replenishment signal instead of something discovered on the next scheduled walk.
An empty shelf slot is a lost sale that appears in no system of record — no return, no complaint, no transaction to flag it.
Periodic manual shelf walks only catch gaps that exist at the moment the walk happens, on whatever cadence staffing allows.
Approach
How Proglint Works
- 01
Fixed or roving cameras continuously monitor shelf sections against expected planogram state.
- 02
Empty or critically low slots are detected and flagged the moment they occur.
- 03
Mobile stock verification lets staff confirm and act on flagged sections with an AI-assisted count.

Monitor Shelf State
Continuous vision monitoring of shelf sections against expected stock presence.
Flag Gap
Empty or low-stock slot is flagged the moment it is detected.
Route Replenishment
Alert routes to floor staff with the exact shelf location, no scheduled walk required.

The Business Case
A qualitative framework for evaluating impact — no figures are invented; this is how to think about the case until deployment-specific numbers are measured.
Cost of Manual Monitoring
"We already have cameras — why isn't that enough?"
Camera coverage and operational visibility are not the same thing. Footage that is recorded but never analyzed is a passive archive, not a monitoring system — it only becomes useful after an incident is already reported through some other channel, and by then the operational moment has passed. The gap enterprises pay for isn't a lack of cameras; it's the absence of continuous analysis on the cameras already installed.
- Footage shifts from passive, after-the-fact evidence to a continuously analyzed signal.
- Coverage that once required a manual review request becomes visible as it happens.
- Existing camera infrastructure is read in real time instead of archived and overwritten.
Labor Reallocation
"Where does the time our team spends on spot-checks actually go?"
Manual audits and spot-checks are staff time spent watching for problems that may or may not be happening at that moment. Periodic sampling means most operational activity goes unobserved between walks. When continuous monitoring takes over the watching, that staff time can move toward service, merchandising, and responding to the alerts the system actually raises — work that requires judgment, not attention span.
- Staff time shifts from scheduled spot-checks to responding to specific, verified events.
- Supervisory attention concentrates on exceptions the system flags, not routine walks.
- Audit cadence stops being limited by how many walks a shift can fit in.
