Image Recognition

Product Setup Requirements

What information is required for SKU setup?

Minimum 5 Megapixel images of product packaging from all angles
For cylindrical products:
- 3-4 images around the circumference
- 1-2 images from the top
Complete packaging information including branding and color for visual representation

Planogram Management

How many planograms are typically needed?

A market usually requires only a small number of planograms. These are defined based on combinations of:

Market
Channel
Classification
Equipment type

For example, a single market might have different planograms for:

Highway-adjacent stores
City center locations

What information is needed for planogram setup?

Sample Planogram

To create a planogram, you need:

Complete product setup
Shelf specifications
Asset type details (if planogram is specific to certain cooler/freezer models)

Who can manage planograms?

Any user with planogram modification privileges can:

Create new planograms
Assign planograms to assets

Priorogram System

What is a priorogram?

Priorogram is Coolr's proprietary approach to handling "missed opportunities" and "order recommendations" for out-of-stock situations. This system was developed to address common challenges with traditional planograms:

Traditional planograms can be tedious to set up
Field implementation often deviates from defined planograms due to practical constraints

The priorogram model allows customers to:

Specify SKUs in order of priority
Focus on product availability rather than specific positioning
Receive recommendations based on priority list and current inventory

Stock Calculation Methods

How is stock calculated across different tiers?

Basic Tier/Navigator

Uses Share of Shelf (SoS) or Share of Visible Inventory (SOVI)
Common approach among traditional image-based monitoring solutions

Commander and Pioneer Tiers

Utilizes depth estimation for stock calculation
Stock levels are approximated in 25% increments (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)
Camera positioning affects measurement:
- Horizontal freezers: Top-mounted camera provides accurate stock level assessment
- Vertical freezers: Front-mounted camera measures stock by product distance from shelf front

How accurate is stock calculation?

Approximately 95% accurate across 30,000+ units
Successfully used for order recommendations across various businesses
Proven track record of 30%+ sales uplift in first year when recommendations are followed

Can exact stock counts be obtained?

While Coolr's solution prioritizes cost-effectiveness and quick ROI with 95%+ accuracy, alternative solutions for exact counting include:

Grab 'n Go systems
Just Check Out
Weight sensors
RFID technology

Key Metrics and Calculations

What are the key performance metrics?

Used to identify:
- Replenishment schedules
- Product sale patterns at SKU level

Planogram/Priorogram Compliance

Measures:
- Product portfolio effectiveness
- SKU-level placement efficiency
- Out-of-stock situations
- Product distribution

Purity

Measures percentage of customer's own products in an asset
Also known as Share of "own" inventory
Used for trade terms compliance monitoring

How are metrics calculated?

Standard calculations include:

Stock % = (Total Visible Products - Foreign Products) / Total Available Positions
Purity = (Total Visible Products - Foreign Products) / Total Visible Products
Planogram Compliance = (Total Planogram Facings - Compliant Facings) / Total Available Positions

Note: Total Available Positions is determined by either:

Defined planogram occupied spaces
Or (Shelves × Columns per shelf) as specified in Asset Type configuration
