Simplicity and effortlessness are guiding principals for everything we build at Shelfgram. Whether you're browsing for insights at your desk or capturing content in the field, our goal is to make every action feel as seamless as possible. This month, we took a big step toward making store checks even smoother with a complete overhaul of our photo capture and upload flow on mobile.
We’ve removed unnecessary friction from the core store check experience. Previously, each photo had to be uploaded individually - a process that slowed down store checks. Now, photos taken during a visit are batched automatically and queued for upload at the end of your store check, letting you focus on capturing what matters.
Uploading has also been streamlined. To ensure photo quality and prevent accidental app closures, we previously locked the app on an upload screen until all photos were processed. While effective, it meant users were stuck waiting. Now, our new improvements mean that uploads happen silently in the background, so you're free to continue using the app however you'd like. A subtle progress bar below the header keeps you updated on the status of your upload without disrupting your workflow.
