Question 1

What is the Stoc platform and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Stoc is a retail shelf intelligence platform built for everyone across the food and beverage chain, from distributors and food service operators to convenience retailers and enterprise category managers. It combines real-time shelf monitoring, AI-powered planogram recommendations, and instant distribution tools into a single closed loop system.

Question 2

What makes the Stoc placement tool different from existing planogram software?

Accepted Answer

Existing planogram tools are built for specialists, require manual setup, and have no feedback loop after deployment. The Stoc placement tool uses a proprietary demand score to generate recommendations automatically, lets operators accept changes with a single click, and distributes updates to the floor in thirty seconds via QR code.

Question 3

What is a demand score?

Accepted Answer

A demand score is a proprietary Stoc metric combining sales velocity, stockout frequency, and missing facings into a single number reflecting true product demand at a specific location. It tells operators not just what sold but what could have sold if the shelf had been set correctly.

Question 4

How does Stoc handle product recognition accuracy?

Accepted Answer

Stoc scans every product via a 360 degree video, breaks it into hundreds of frames from every angle, and augments those with thousands of synthetic images across different conditions. This gives the AI a complete view of every product before it encounters it in a cooler, resulting in accuracy that flat image systems cannot match.

Question 5

How do I get access to the new Stoc platform?

Accepted Answer

Reach out to the Stoc team directly to schedule a demo and discuss what a rollout looks like for your operation. The platform is live and ready.
