What an empty shelf costs

Every shelf your team gets right
is a sale you keep.

An empty facing is a shopper who walked away. It is a sale your reps could have saved, if they had known in time.

The shelf, read for you.
Same day, no clipboard.

One photo, the whole shelf

Share of shelf, out-of-stocks, prices and an outlet score, in your own product codes. No planogram, no manual count, back the same day.

smartphone

Any smartphone

It runs on the smartphone your reps already carry. Nothing new to buy, nothing to install on a special device.

Faces redacted

POPIA-minded by default. Faces are redacted and your data stays inside your own tenant.

No planogram needed

It reads dense spaza and supermarket shelves exactly as they are, messy and real, not a tidy reference layout.

The difference

It reads the stores other tools cannot,
and more than just shelves.

grid_off

No planogram, real shelves

Legacy shelf AI was trained on perfect supermarket planograms. South African reality is around 150,000 traditional-trade outlets: the spazas and superettes with dense, unplanned shelves that defeat those models. ClaroVision reads shelves with no planogram and no months of training on your packshots, so it covers your whole route to market.

apps

One app, any format

And the shelf is just the start. The same capture screen lets a rep choose what they are shooting, so the app captures the work wherever it happens: a packed shelf, the storefront, or a printed menu or price list read line by line into prices you can use. One app, any store, any format.

Return

The first divided by the second.

Industry studies put total out-of-stock loss at 4.1 to 7.4 percent of sales (IHL Group; NielsenIQ via Food Manufacturing). The slider starts by winning back a single point. An illustration, not a promise.

How it works

Snap the shelf

Any smartphone. In and out in seconds.

The AI reads it

Products, gaps, prices, your catalogue.

81

You see the store

Share of shelf and out-of-stocks, same day.

01

The rep photographs the shelf

No clipboard, no manual count. The job they already do, in a fraction of the time.

02

The vision model reads it

It recognises your products, finds the gaps, checks the prices, no planogram required.

03

You see every store the same day

Share of shelf, out-of-stocks and an outlet score, where your team already works.

Works with your systems

You keep your tools. We add the insight.

ClaroVision is API-first and ERP-ready. It does not have to replace your ERP, SFA or BI tools, it plugs into them when you want it to. Reads and confirmed out-of-stocks export to Excel or CSV from day one, and you pull them live through our API. Where you want orders to flow straight into your ERP, we build the connector to fit your stack.

60-day paid pilot · R27,500

One team, up to 25 users, full Growth features. We agree two success criteria in writing before we start. Hit them and we credit the pilot fee to your annual contract.

Security & compliance

Your data stays yours

lock

Isolated by construction

A separate database and storage per customer. Cross-customer access is impossible at the code level. Deleted in full when a contract ends.

verified_user

POPIA compliant

Faces in shelf photos are automatically detected and redacted on upload, before storage. Detection is automated and best-effort. Standard DPA and a designated Information Officer. Your images train shared models only if you opt in.

cloud_done

Sovereign tier

For enterprise and regulated industries we can deploy the whole platform, AI included, inside your own AWS or Azure account, on request. Your images stay in your tenant.

Why we built it

Built by people who lived the problem

We come from data and retail. We spent years alongside field teams who do honest, skilled work in every store, then lose their evenings writing it all up by hand. The effort was real. The proof of it just disappeared.

Reps visit stores every day and take photos, and those photos just sit there. So we built ClaroVision to bring that work to light, turning the photos into answers the same day, in your own codes, for supermarket and spaza shelves alike, and giving your people their time back. Built in South Africa, for South African trade.

Your codes, your language

Reports you can act on immediately

Every report is keyed to your own material and store codes. Your analyst joins our export to your sales tables with one lookup on a code you already own, and your confidential numbers never leave your side. We share keys, not your data.

What we stand for

Our mission, vision & principles

Mission

Free your field team, and make their work shine

Turn every photo your team takes into a clear answer you can act on the same day, so your people spend less time on admin, more time serving stores, and their good work finally gets seen. At a price any company can afford.

Vision

The photo-to-data layer for industry

Retail shelves first, then anywhere the world must be inspected, counted and measured: warehouses, pharmacies, construction, infrastructure.

01

Data sovereignty is sacred

Your images and data are yours, isolated per customer, never training shared models, never leaking across tenants.

02

Outcome over technology

You buy answers: what is missing, what it is worth, what to do next, not bounding boxes. We ship workflows, not slideware.

03

Model-agnostic by design

The vision engine is a pluggable part. We are never hostage to one AI vendor, so "we cannot use X" is a setting, not a lost deal.

04

Honest AI

Every result carries a confidence level. Unsure reads are flagged for a human, never silently guessed.

05

Earn it weekly

Monthly SaaS means we re-win your business every month. We ship improvements every week.

The team

Founder-led, agent-operated

ClaroVision is founder-led and run by a named team of AI agents. We build with the same technology we sell, and we think you should know that. Each agent works to a written charter; a human owns every customer-facing decision.

N

Nova

Market research. Tracks the market, the competitors, and where photo-to-data goes next.

V

Vera

Product and engineering. Owns the platform, uptime, and the rule that your data stays yours.

E

Eli

Sales. Builds your demo and the ROI case behind it, and a real person walks you through it on a 20-minute call.

What we believe

Free their time. Ease their day.
Trust the numbers.

01

Give their time back

The reporting writes itself, so reps get their evenings and their day back for selling and serving stores.

02

Take the frustration out

No clipboards, no late-night write-ups, no chasing numbers. Less of the grind, more of the work they came to do.

03

Put the accuracy back

Every read comes from a real photo, scored for confidence and checked by a person when unsure. Decisions on data you can trust, not guesses.
