Introducing Stoc: Revolutionizing Retail Execution with AI

Introduction

The Problem You Don’t See
You know that sinking feeling when you crack open a cooler expecting your top‐seller, and it’s gone? That empty space isn’t just a missing product; it’s lost revenue, unhappy customers, and a scramble to find answers. At Stoc, we realized that traditional methods of weekly shelf checks, scribbled temperature logs, and slow reports just don’t cut it in a world that moves by the minute.

So we asked ourselves: what if coolers could speak up? What if teams got the insights they need without juggling extra apps or tedious data entry? That spark became our solution: give every cooler a voice, so your people spend less time chasing data and more time growing the business.

About Stoc

Meet Stoc: One Platform, Every Insight
Most solutions on the market feel like a hodgepodge. One tool for images, another for temperature, yet another for maintenance. We took a different path. Stoc is a single, cloud-based system that takes you from raw data to action with three integrated features.

Effortless Data Capture

Our peel-and-stick StocVision Camera nests inside each cooler. Every time the door opens, it captures a photo, temperature reading, and registers a door opening, and starts generating insights that matter to you.

Instant Live Dashboards

Built-in intelligence reviews and displays each image and data stream, spotting stock outs and low-stock gaps, planogram shifts, and cooling hiccups before they impact sales—all in one platform.

Action-First Notifications

Instead of wading through pages of reports, your team receives customizable alerts complete with context and a clear next step. Problems get fixed in minutes, not days.

With this end-to-end approach, you never miss a critical event, and your team can focus on what they do best: selling, servicing, and growing.

Past Pilot Results

Proof in a 60-Day Pilot
Here’s how it works in the field. We teamed up with a leading regional bottler to pilot Stoc across 8 locations and 19 coolers, tackling long-standing blind spots in shelf compliance and equipment health.

After a quick installation, the pilot customer was up and running. Two months in, the results said it all:

  • Estimated 2,800 more beverages sold, thanks to proactive restocking
  • 550+ stock out events spotted before the next scheduled account visit
  • 70 % of coolers flagged for temperature irregularities, protecting product quality
  • 3–7 extra cases sold per cooler per month, projecting 12,600 more cases annually

By automating data capture, analysis, and alerts, Stoc turned cooler management from a chore into a powerful growth engine. As the Bottler’s Large Format Key Account Manager reflected:

“Rolling out Stoc was a no-brainer. We’re selling more cases every day!”
