Where retail demand forms

Retail demand forms store by store

Online orders and store sales show what sold. The rival shelf, the price beside it, and the stores around each address shape what sells next.

Rival shelves move between reviews

LAST REVIEWOWN RIVAL PRIVATE LABEL SHARE OF SHELF 46% THIS WEEK · PHOTO 14 SEPOWN RIVAL PRIVATE LABEL SHARE OF SHELF 33% · NEW RIVAL PACK

A rival listing, a price cut, or a new private-label pack can change a category between planning cycles.

Sena. Sena reads the products in each shelf photo, rival products included, and tracks share of shelf by store and territory.

Prices drift by channel

PRICE PLAN STORE A3.99 STORE B3.99 ONLINE3.99 THE PLAN, NOT THE SHELF ON SHELF · PHOTOGRAPHED3.99STORE A4.49STORE B3.79ONLINE 2 OF 3 OFF PLAN

A planned price and a promotion reach each channel and store at different times, and some reach the shelf altered.

Sena. Sena reads the price tag in each photo and flags the stores and channels where price departs from plan.

Delivery demand depends on nearby stores

ORDER DATA · ONE AREA TWO KINDS OF BASKET, BLENDED STORES NEAR EACH ADDRESS 6 STORES · SMALL BASKET1 STORE · FULL SHOP

An address with grocery stores nearby orders small, impulse baskets. An address far from stores orders the full shop. Order data blends the two.

Sena. Sena maps the grocery and convenience stores in each delivery radius and sets that count beside the orders from the area.

The decisions

How a team checks each price

Each price traces to its shelf photo

Sena ties every price and listing to the photo it came from, so a team checks the index store by store.

DATED 14 SEP LOCATEDCOUNTED ✓

A dated photo per price

Each price in the index comes from a photographed tag, located and dated. The index counts confirmed tags only.

QA 1QA 2QA 3 PASSED DECLINED STAYS VISIBLE

Checked before it counts

Every capture goes through a multi-level QA flow before it enters the index. Sena declines a capture that misses the check, and the decline stays visible.

Price index

Set each price against the rival shelf

A price index compares a product's shelf price with the rival product a shopper sees next to it. Sena captures both from the same photo, so the index holds per store, per channel, and per day of capture.

  • Own price and rival price from one shelf photo
  • Index split by store format, channel, and territory
  • Stores outside the planned band flagged for review

FAQ

Questions retail teams ask

01 What is retail intelligence?
Retail intelligence is the use of store, shelf, price, and shopper data to decide what to stock, how to price it, and where to sell it. Sena, a Decision AI with access to real-world data, adds geo-verified store photos and consented shopper input to the sales data a retailer already holds.
02 What is retail market intelligence?
Retail market intelligence covers the competitors, prices, shoppers, and store formats across a retail market. Sena sits above it as a Decision AI: it captures the shelf and shopper signals, then shows where stock, price, or placement departs from plan.
03 What is retail business intelligence?
Retail business intelligence turns a retailer's own sales, stock, and store data into charts and summaries of what already happened. Sena, a Decision AI, adds what the shelf and the shopper show beyond those systems, so the next stock, price, or placement call rests on both.
04 What are examples of AI in retail?
Retail teams use computer vision on shelf photos to find products and prices, and they use their own systems to forecast demand, set prices, and plan routes. Sena applies computer vision to geo-verified store photos, then reads those readings beside shopper input and the retailer's own systems.
05 How does Sena measure share of shelf?
Sena captures a geo-verified photo of the shelf, and computer vision identifies the products on it, rival and private-label products included. Share of shelf is a product's facings against the shelf total, tracked by store, territory, and channel.
06 Can Sena cover online and in-store channels?
Yes. Sena reads online orders and prices from the files and systems a team connects, and captures store shelves and prices through geo-verified photos. Both sit in one answer, split by channel.
07 How does Sena help place a dark store?
Sena counts every grocery and convenience store in each delivery radius and sets that count beside the orders from the area. The team sees where baskets run large and where stores already stand, and makes the placement call from both.
08 Which systems does Sena connect to for retail teams?
Sena works with the commerce, CRM, and ERP systems retail teams use, across 250+ integrations including Salesforce and HubSpot, and reads uploaded Excel, CSV, and PDF files. Store photos and shopper input join that data in one answer.
