Retail Data Collection

Retail Data Collection

Data is only as good as its accuracy and timeliness. Driveline’s Retail Data Collection services use AI, image recognition, and shelf-edge automation to deliver verified, up-to-date intelligence from every store. From planogram audits to price checks and launch readiness, we transform complex data into retail insights you need to drive fast, informed decisions at scale.

Real-Time Retail Data Insights and Actionable Results

Traditional retail data collection is time-consuming, error-prone, and challenging to scale. Without real visibility, decisions about inventory, displays, promotions, and staffing are often guesswork. That means missed sales, excess costs, and inconsistent shopper experiences.

Driveline’s advanced tech stack captures and visualizes complex retail data with over 95% accuracy, allowing you to spot trends, address issues, and optimize outcomes instantly. We deliver verified shelf-level insights powered by AI, image recognition, and automation to accelerate performance. From identifying out-of-stocks to capturing promo compliance, we collect and provide the data that fuels fast, profitable action. 

What You Can Do With Advanced Data Visualization Tools

With decades of field experience and cutting-edge technology, Driveline gives retailers and brands a clearer view of what’s really happening in-store. Explore how you can use retail data insights.

Planogram Compliance and Reset Readiness

Accurate product placement is critical to reset success, and Driveline ensures it’s done right the first time. AI-powered shelf imaging captures detailed visual data across thousands of stores to verify planogram execution and fixture compliance. 

Our proprietary workflow platform, SmartPMX, alerts teams to discrepancies and enables rapid issue resolution for fewer reworks, better compliance, and faster resets that stay on schedule.

New Product and Promotion Visibility

Using image recognition and location-based tracking, Driveline confirms new product cut-ins, promotional displays, and signage are executed correctly for time-sensitive promotions. Live dashboards track compliance and highlight execution gaps so you can course-correct quickly. 

Store Recovery and On-Shelf Availability

Driveline helps brands regain control after experiencing disruptions like staffing shortages, resets, or stockouts. Our retail data visualization tools detect out-of-stock or missing items and track restocking progress across retail locations. Predictive analytics highlight availability risks before they escalate, helping teams maintain continuity and customer trust.

Retail Operations Optimization and Turnover Tracking

Retail inventory is a moving target. Driveline’s in-store data tools monitor stock levels, turnover rates, and shelf status to help you manage inventory with precision. By identifying slow movers and shelf gaps in real time, you can reduce excess inventory, avoid stockouts, and improve store-level efficiency, which drives down costs while keeping shelves productive.

Customer Experience and Shopper Behavior Insights

Our innovative retail data visualization technology reveals how customers interact with products in-store. Insights like dwell time and eye-level placement allow you to personalize layouts and assortments to match buyer behavior, creating more engaging experiences that encourage loyalty and higher sales.
