The problem!
The grocery industry loses an estimated $634 billion annually to out-of-stock situations and most of that loss is invisible until it’s already happened.
Your POS system tells you what sold. It doesn’t tell you what a customer picked up, put back, and walked away from. At out-of-stock rates that regularly exceed 8% in grocery retail, the operational and reputational cost compounds fast.
For a retailer doing $1B in annual revenue, eliminating out-of-stock translates directly to a $7.5M bottom-line improvement.
Do the math for your numbers.
How it works
SHELFN retrofits your existing gondola and rack shelving with advanced load sensors that detect, in real time, exactly which products are picked up or returned, no shelf replacement, no store redesign required.
That data feeds into a cloud-based AI engine that continuously interprets stock movement patterns, flags planogram deviations, and triggers replenishment priorities before a gap appears.
Because SHELFN monitors sell velocity independently of your POS, it gives your operations team a head start that traditional inventory systems simply can’t provide.
Benefits
Monitor every shelf in real time without disrupting store layout or daily operations
Identify misplaced products and planogram non-compliance automatically, at scale
Prioritize replenishment tasks so floor staff focus where stock risk is highest
Predict basket contents ahead of checkout using integrated Smart Checkout data
Reduce substitution losses and abandoned purchases driven by empty shelf moments
SHELFN is built for grocery and general merchandise retailers where shelf availability directly drives revenue and where replenishment decisions are still largely reactive. If you’re operating at scale, multiple aisles, high SKU count, variable sell velocity, and your current approach to out-of-stock is based on scheduled floor walks or end-of-day POS reports, you’re already behind.
SHELFN is the operational upgrade that closes that gap without asking you to rebuild your store.
