May 2024
Our May focus was our new Stock levels feature, now in beta. This tool analyzes main section photos, isolates the store’s floor and ceiling, and identifies in stock areas as well as voids in shelf space. This enables us to provide consistent metrics across all photos and offer accurate estimates of shelf availability at scale.
Much like Heatmaps, Text Search and Time Travel, Stock levels operates as an AI lens that can be accessed in the viewer. You can turn the overlay on or off from the sidebar where available and visualize out-of-stock shelf space in real-time. You can also toggle it across an entire Planogram at once, allowing you to compare how certain categories or retailers are faring in relation to others.
This feature is currently available in select categories, but we're expanding coverage rapidly.
Shelfgram for Students:
We are excited to launch a new, free program called Shelfgram for Students. Students and educators can now access our platform by signing in with their college or university email. Although the student plan does not include category-level data subscriptions or all premium features, students will have unlimited access to all public photos.
Dashboard:
For users managing a large number of subscriptions across different countries, we've updated our dashboard. Subscriptions are now organized by country, rather than strictly alphabetically, making it easier and faster to find what you're looking for.
Partners & Integrations:
Over the last couple months, we've gotten a lot of questions from customers asking if there's a way they can bring on their partners (e.g. brokers, agencies, etc). At the same time, those companies have been asking us how they can best work with us. Our Partners & Integrations is a new part of our platform that we're looking to grow as a marketplace. This page showcases our integrations with certified, leading industry partners. From here, you can get in touch with new partners to extend your capabilities, or connect existing partners with your Shelfgram space. These integrations are a great way to consolidate your photos and insights into a single platform, ensuring everyone across your operation is on the same page. If you have a partner that you think would be a great fit, connect us with them!
Mobile App:
v1 of Price checks has been added to mobile. Right now it's a searchable feed of All other retail formats, but we'll be continuing to add more of the functionality of its web app counterpart.
The header of the app's home screen now features a single Private space button, indicating the name of the company space a user is currently in and allowing them to view their subscriptions. We previously also displayed the Shelfgram logo and a menu icon there, which we've removed to reduce clutter.
Other updates:
Shelfgram is now a Linkedin skill! We've updated our Linkedin product page, and with that comes a nice new + Add as skill button that lets you highlight your Shelfgram mastery on your profile as part of your toolkit. Find it here and make your colleagues jealous!
