Today the Vision
Group, announces the launch of PdfToPog to the North American market through
its Maxerience business unit. PdfToPog
is a cutting edge tool that leverages AI-Image Recognition and state-of-the-art
image catalog to develop editable planograms from a PDF image. Retailers will distribute store level
planograms to Vendors such as Brands, Distributors or Wholesalers in the form
of PDF image. The challenge for Brands
and Distributors has been to analyze these planograms as current tools from
planogram software companies such as Relex and Blue Yonder require specific
software. National brands and
distributors may collect over 100,000 planograms in PDF format that need to be manually entered into
these software platforms. Vision Group
has solved this problem.
“This is the unlock many of our partners have been asking
for from our AI-Image Recognition technology” explains Jason DeRienzo, CRO
Vision Group. “We are the only AI-IR company that combines a state-of-the-art
image library, AI-Image Recognition and Planogram software from leading companies
such as Relex and Blue Yonder. Vision
Group is focused on bringing visibility to bricks and mortar retail. The planogram is one of the largest blind
spots in the industry today largely driven by retailers either not sharing
planograms or delivering PDF files that are hard to manage”
Once a PDF is received, Maxerience business engine rules
automatically convert the images into an editable planogram file that can be
used to support category and space management initiatives. Early partners are leveraging this technology
across all of retail where Retailers distribute PDF files rather than editable
planograms files. This technology helps
automate planogram creation.
The Vision Group is focused on digitizing bricks and mortar
retail by leveraging AI-Image Recognition and IoT technologies across many
applications including Smart Cooler Vending, Connecting Remote Assets and
Automated Planogram and Space Management.
