AI-Driven Image IQ Streamlines Visual Merchandising Compliance for Retailers
Image IQ is One Door’s compliance feature that uses AI and image recognition to improve planogram execution accuracy at the store level.
Using advanced computer vision, Image IQ eliminates the need for manual compliance checks, costly in-store audits, and missed revenue opportunities.
Feature Overview: Image IQ
Inside the One Door platform, Image IQ uses artificial intelligence to recognize and verify the placement of everything on a retail display, including products, signage, and even smaller price cards and collateral.
This AI-driven capability provides store teams with valuable real-time feedback and provides retailers with accurate merchandising compliance data.
The result is a consistent, high-quality store experience across every location, with less time wasted in stores.
Here’s how it works:
- Visual merchandising teams select the printed materials and products to include in Image IQ compliance checks.
- While working in stores, store teams take as many photos as required to capture the entire fixture. Since Image IQ is designed for specialty retail, it is designed to support any fixture type, including multi-sided tables.
- Image IQ analyzes the entire fixture and provides store teams with real-time feedback and suggestions to address any missing elements.
- Real-time data is provided for reporting, and compliance photos are added to an indexed, searchable database of available photos.
Within seconds, Image IQ’s analysis and communication are sent back to the store team.
Feature Overview: Supporting Specialty Retail Fixtures
Image IQ is an advanced yet easy-to-use AI tool that improves virtual store compliance. It can detect:
- SKUs. Image IQ has SKU detection capability, allowing the AI to scan for proper product placement. Image IQ can identify multiple images in a single planogram without having to capture the entire fixture.
- POP. Image IQ can also scan for printed materials in a display, such as correct posters and other signage.
- Other display elements. Image IQ is designed to support other display elements, even irregularly shaped and/or smaller items.
Key Benefits of Image IQ: AI Compliance Feature
Here’s what One Door users can expect with Image IQ:
Streamlined Store Compliance. At its core, Image IQ streamlines the store compliance process.
The advanced computer vision analyzes photos of displays and immediately flags compliance issues with planograms or brand standards.
Store teams can correct errors and/or report issues on the spot without waiting for HQ intervention, reducing reliance on manual processes and audits (and labor costs).
One Door also eliminates exhaustive, disjointed feedback between HQ and store teams by combining store execution and communication in a single platform.
Proven Efficiency. Image IQ requires minimal training for store associates due to its intuitive design and high recognition accuracy (95%).
This allows retail teams to adopt the AI quickly without disrupting everyday workflows.
At the HQ level, users receive real-time compliance status across multiple stores without the time-consuming manual review of individual photos.
In fact, Image IQ analyzes and communicates with store teams within seconds after they submit a photo for approval.
Compliance Data. The One Door platform reports on compliance accuracy, and retailers can safeguard compliance percentages with a variety of easy-to-read analytics. Learn more about One Door’s compliance metrics for HQ users.
Feature Integrations. Image IQ integrates with One Door’s localization features, like Smart Containers, ensuring that compliance checks are tailored to each store’s unique planograms rather than generic templates.
Brand Consistency & Scalability. Retailers understand the power of branding, and Image IQ ensures consistency across all your stores with the latest retail technology – even as you scale.
Because One Door’s cloud-based infrastructure allows for flexible scaling, no matter how big your retail business gets, you have complete control of how store displays are reset and approved from a singular platform.
Image IQ empowers retailers to deliver exceptional customer experiences while meeting brand standards.
