"I don't advise from the outside. I have built, operated and sold a retail technology company. I have sat on both sides of the table — and that changes everything about how I see your operation." — Claudio B. Landsberg, Founder · LTEA  ·  See the 53 cases →

You're making decisions
based on fiction.

Your sales team visits. Staff prepares. You see perfection — for one day. Then everything goes back to reality. And you never know.

📦
Your SKUs are out of stock — for days
Sales dip, you blame the market. In reality, your product has been missing from 40 stores for 3 days. Your consumers switched to the competitor right there on the shelf.
Average impact: $3,200/day per missing SKU
📢
Your campaign materials were never placed
You paid for production, negotiated placement, got confirmation from the retailer. But in 60% of locations, nothing is there. Your campaign ROI is based on zero execution.
41% of POS materials go unplaced
🏷️
Your competitor is taking your shelf space
Every week, a competitor adds a facing, takes an end cap, or blocks your position. Without real eyes in the store, you find out 30 days later — if ever. By then it's too late.
1 lost facing = 8–12% volume decline

Know what's on your shelf
before your competitor does.

Campaign Intelligence

You invest in marketing.
We guarantee it's being executed.

Every campaign you run has a gap between what was planned and what actually happened at the shelf. Campaign Intelligence closes that gap — and because results are live the moment a scout submits, you can still fix it while the campaign is running.

Four ways to verify.
One platform.

Mystery shopping covers experience. Shelf Intelligence covers planogram. Shelf-Life Audit covers expiry. Campaign Intelligence covers multi-store ROI. Pick the mission type that matches what you need to know.

🕵️
01
Standard Mystery Shop
Customer experience verification

Observation areas (entrance, service, restroom, checkout) with weighted scoring. Cover story-based, anti-fraud GPS verified, photo-required answers, and a final score per visit.

· Cover story-driven scoring
· Photo + GPS evidence
· Weighted observation areas
🧱
02
Shelf Intelligence
Planogram compliance by SKU

Define a list of SKUs the scout must verify on shelf. Reference photo + actual photo, presence check, price match, position check, POS material check — all with timestamped evidence.

· Reference photo vs. actual
· Price + position + POS
· Per-SKU compliance score
📅
03
Shelf-Life Audit
Expiry, FIFO and stockout verification

Upload an Excel of SKUs (or pick a category to explore). For each unit on shelf, the scout reads the expiry date, scans the barcode to confirm the SKU, photographs the front. AI pre-fills the date.

· AI auto-reads expiry date
· Barcode scanned at the shelf
· FIFO + stockout flagging
FLAGSHIP
📊
04
Campaign Intelligence
Multi-store campaigns with ROI

Run one campaign across N stores. Track coverage (% of stores audited), per-store KPIs (price match, POS presence, planogram score), trend over time, and final ROI in a single cockpit.

· Coverage % across N stores
· Per-store KPI breakdown
· Heatmap + ROI cockpit

Six ways to read a shelf.
From either side of the contract.

Brands verify their own SKUs at retail. Retailers verify their full gondola across suppliers. Each side gets three purpose-built mission flows, four shared analytics KPIs, and a visual gondola in four modes — so the same audit produces the right answer for whoever is asking.

The plan writes itself.

Every approved mission feeds a Predictive Health Score per location. When a store slips into Watch, Risk, or Critical, the platform auto-generates a coaching plan — assigned to the right operator, scoped to the dimension that's slipping. The next mission verifies recovery.
