StayinFront On-Device AI: measurable shelf results for the Australian drinks industry

Australian drinks brands sell through one of the most demanding retail landscapes in the consumer goods industry. Field representatives move between metro bottle shops, regional liquor stores and on-premise venues, often in places where the signal drops out. Hours are spent each day capturing photos that are processed offline and insights arrive long after the visit has ended.

StayinFront On-Device AI changes the visit.

It uses AI-powered Image Recognition to help field representatives do more with less, delivering instant insights into shelf compliance, stock levels, promotional execution, and competitive activity without the need for an internet connection. Representatives see results within seconds, processed entirely on the device and fully offline. Every result is also sent automatically to head office for reporting as soon as connectivity is available, with no photos waiting in a queue for central processing teams to review later.

Built for Australian routes to market

Australian drinks representatives cover two very different channels: packaged liquor, from metro bottle shops to regional independents and on-premise venues such as pubs, clubs and bars. StayinFront On-Device AI processes images directly on the representative's mobile device, so each visit returns a complete, consistent read of execution in seconds, whether the outlet sits in the CBD or hundreds of kilometres from the nearest town.

There is no cap on photos per visit and recognition runs inside the StayinFront app, so every bay, fridge, and floor stack is captured accurately in a single pass.

Compliance across shelves, displays, menus and taps

Drinks portfolios rarely sit in one place. Beer, wine, spirits and ready-to-drink (RTD) products compete for space on the main shelf, in the fridge, and on promotional displays. StayinFront On-Device AI is optimised for planogram compliance and perfect store execution and it can track a display across multiple categories from a single image. Representatives receive the right tasks for each context and headquarters gets clear display compliance reporting.

On-premise execution goes beyond the shelf. Representatives can photograph a drinks menu or wine list to confirm brand listings, pricing and placement, and complete a beer tap survey from a single survey of the bar's taps to see which brands are pouring and which taps have been won or lost to competitors.

Turn shelf data into measurable growth

StayinFront On-Device AI translates complex KPIs into a prioritised task list, so representatives spend less time finding issues and more time fixing them, from restocking and repositioning SKUs to reordering fast-moving lines.

By streamlining workflows, improving accuracy (even offline) and reducing image-capture costs, StayinFront On-Device AI allows representatives to focus on selling and merchandising. Brand owners gain actionable retail intelligence to improve sales execution and operational effectiveness outlet by outlet, driving measurable business growth.

The result is smarter store visits and stronger performance at the shelf, from the first call of the day to the last.

Get ahead of your key trading periods

Drinks sales are won and lost in a handful of peak windows, from summer and the festive season to long weekends and finals footy. Every visit in the lead-up to your key selling periods is a chance to secure shelf space, win displays, and keep best sellers in stock. Insight that arrives too late is a sale left on the table.

Your next peak is coming. Book a call, and we'll show you how your team can get execution right in every outlet, on every visit. Contact StayinFront today.
