AI Solutions for Visual Merchandising Teams
From planogram compliance monitoring to display optimization — Whale AI gives visual merchandising teams real-time visibility into every shelf, every screen, and every surface across every location.
  • Always-On Planogram Compliance
    AI monitors every shelf, display, and fixture 24/7 against your planogram standards — detecting violations, scoring compliance, and dispatching corrections automatically.
  • Data-Driven Display Optimization
    Footfall heatmaps, dwell time analysis, and zone-level conversion data tell you exactly which displays are driving customer attention — and which need to be rethought.
  • Digital Display Content Control
    HQ controls what plays on every screen in every location — instantly. Brand-approved, compliance-checked display content pushed to thousands of screens in minutes.
Core Scenario Solutions
  • Planogram Compliance Monitoring
    SpaceSight
    • VLM deployed on-premise continuously monitors every shelf and display fixture against planogram specifications. Out-of-stock gaps, incorrect product positioning, and unauthorized display additions are detected and flagged automatically.


    • Compliance scores reported at store level, rolled up to regional and national dashboards. VM managers see the full compliance picture across every location without visiting a single store.


    • Automated corrective dispatch: when a planogram violation is detected, SpaceSight sends a task to the store's VM associate with a screenshot of the violation, the correct planogram reference, and a compliance deadline.

  • Display Effectiveness Analytics
    SpaceSight
    • Footfall heatmaps show exactly where customers spend time in the store. Overlay display positions against traffic data to identify which fixtures are in high-attention zones and which are invisible.


    • Dwell time analysis by zone: measure how long customers engage with each display category. Compare engagement rates before and after display changes with real behavioral data.


    • A/B test display configurations: deploy different layouts at comparable store locations, measure footfall response and conversion differences, and roll out the winning configuration chain-wide with confidence.

  • Digital Display Content Management
    Harbor
    • Harbor centralizes all digital display content — product imagery, campaign videos, promotional graphics, and seasonal updates — in one governed library. VM teams find any asset in seconds with natural language search.


    • HQ pushes display content updates to every digital screen at specified locations simultaneously. A seasonal changeover that used to take a week of USB drives and manual uploads is executed from one dashboard in minutes.


    • All display content is compliance-checked before publishing. Brand guideline violations, outdated pricing, and regulatory issues are flagged and blocked before content reaches store screens.

  • VM Trend Research & Display Planning
    Alivia
    • Upload trend reports, competitor VM photography, brand guideline documents, and category data. Alivia synthesizes the research corpus into structured VM strategy briefs and seasonal planning documents.


    • Auto-generate presentation-ready seasonal VM plans, display configuration proposals, and fixture investment briefs from your research materials — reducing planning cycle time significantly.


    • Lume enables VM teams to capture and share in-store display excellence: store associates photograph standout displays, share through the KOS content system, and build a living library of VM best practices across the network.
