2022: Product Analyzer Service Development

On June 20, 2022, Napoleon IT announced the development and placement on the marketplace of ready-made ML-models of AI Services of the ML Space platform of the Product Analyzer service, which allows you to recognize goods and prices in Russian grocery stores. During the first month of use, the service is available using the freemium model to all platform users.

Products Analyzer allows retailers to price and classify items in images. The service can also be used to monitor the prices and goods of competitors in offline stores in order to expand the product range or adjust pricing. It will also allow determining the fullness of shelves in its own stores, which simplifies the formation of inventories and reduces the benefit lost due to late calculations.

ML models included in the service are trained in images from Russian grocery retail chains, they recognize all goods and their prices in images. In order to start the recognition process, it is enough to photograph the store racks and upload the images to the service through the API in the service card on the SberCloud ML Space platform.

With Product Analyzer, you can avoid the cost of creating your own solution for monitoring prices and shelf occupancy. The service will also be appreciated by retail software developers, as this will help reduce the time-to-market of such applications. Grocery retailers can test the service's capabilities simply by signing up to the ML Space platform.

Product Analyzer is already used to recognize prices and goods by the largest retail chains in Russia - and we would like to make it more accessible to a large range of Russian retail. We are pleased to develop services together with the ML Space platform that allow us to use AI and machine learning to solve practical business problems, and we plan to lay out new services in the future, "said Ruslan Akhtyamov, Strategy Director of Napoleon IT.
