Introduction
The retail and consumer goods industries face unprecedented challenges in maintaining consistent product placement and merchandising compliance across distributed networks. With thousands of retail locations and complex planogram requirements, traditional manual auditing methods prove insufficient for modern brand management demands.
Green White Solutions provides Smartup24 - a comprehensive cloud SaaS platform for distribution automation.

The Problem
The client encountered multiple critical challenges that threatened their retail compliance effectiveness:
Manual Audit Limitations: Traditional shelf auditing required extensive human resources, consuming significant time while providing limited coverage across their expansive retail network. Field agents spent hours manually counting products and verifying planogram compliance, creating operational bottlenecks.
Competitive Product Encroachment: Unauthorized competitor products frequently appeared in exclusive brand zones, violating merchandising agreements and reducing optimal shelf positioning. Manual detection of these violations was inconsistent and often delayed.
Data Processing Challenges: The company struggled with processing diverse image qualities from various lighting conditions, camera angles, and retail environments while maintaining consistent detection accuracy across different product sizes and packaging variations.
