THE PROBLEM

Retail audit software needs continuous real-world data.

What category teams hit before Sena.

01

Quarterly audits arrive after the decision is gone.

You walk into the category review with last quarter's retail audit software report. The other side has last week's data, real-time shelf signals, and competitor moves mapped to every SKU. The negotiation runs on stale numbers.

02

Coverage disappears where it matters most.

Major chains get audited. Independents, secondary markets, and the long tail of stores where category share actually moves get skipped. Competitors gain ground first in the channels traditional retail audit software misses, and your team finds out months later.

03

Strategy runs on a small sample.

200 stores out of 40,000, photographed once a quarter. That sample drives the entire category strategy. Planogram compliance, pricing, and SKU presence in the long tail go untracked. Share of shelf becomes a guess dressed up as a number.

USE CASES

Where Sena replaces the audit

The category decisions that used to wait for next quarter's audit. Sena delivers them on the timeline that matters.

CONTINUOUS

Shelf monitoring software that replaces quarterly cycles

Track your category across thousands of locations continuously. When a competitor gains facings in Germany, your team sees it the same week, with the SKU and store already mapped.

REVIEW-READY

Walk into the category review with verified share of shelf

Every category review starts with verified, current share of shelf. Which locations, which SKUs, when each change happened. Data the other side cannot dispute, traced to source.

COMPLIANCE

Planogram compliance software with real verification

Match consumer demand signals against actual shelf presence. A SKU that sells well online with zero presence in key channels is a different problem than one with space and weak demand. Sena tells you which.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is retail audit software?+

Retail audit software (also called a retail audit tool) tracks shelf conditions across stores: SKU presence, share of shelf, planogram compliance. Sena adds market intelligence to retail audit software with continuous capture from 190+ countries via Sena Vision and Sena Consumer Activity, delivered inside HubSpot, Google Sheets, Slack, and Outlook.

What is shelf space optimization?+

Shelf space optimization allocates SKUs and facings on the shelf to maximise sell-through and category performance. Sena turns shelf space optimization into a continuous Decision AI workflow: real shelf data from 190+ countries, consumer demand signals, and planogram compliance, combined into recommended actions traced to source.

How does Sena measure share of shelf?+

Sena Vision processes real shelf photos from contributors in 190+ countries, extracting SKU presence and facings via computer vision. Share of shelf is calculated per location, channel, and market, with full traceability to source. Category teams see the number alongside the consumer demand signal that explains the change.

What CRM and category platforms does Sena work with?+

Sena Integrations connects natively with HubSpot, Google Sheets, Slack, Outlook, and the category tools you already run. Direct API, file upload, and pre-built connectors. New integrations go live every few weeks. Sena layers on top of your existing stack rather than replacing it.

How does shelf monitoring software from Sena work?+

Sena Vision is the shelf monitoring software behind it. Contributors in real locations across 190+ countries capture shelf photos, processed by computer vision into structured data: SKU presence, facings, pricing, planogram compliance. Every image is geolocated and timestamped, landing as a continuous data feed inside your CRM.

Can Sena replace traditional retail audit software?+

For many category teams, yes. Traditional retail audit software returns a quarterly snapshot of a limited per-market sample. Sena returns continuous data from thousands of locations across 190+ countries, including independents that quarterly audits typically miss. Many teams use Sena as their primary shelf data layer.

How does Sena handle planogram compliance?+

Sena replaces standalone planogram compliance software for category teams that need real shelf data. Sena Vision captures actual shelf conditions; Sena Trace cross-references them against the planogram uploaded via Sena Connect. Output flags facings, missing SKUs, and pricing per location, with recommended actions for trade marketing teams.

Why do quarterly retail audits fall behind market reality?+

Quarterly retail audits sample a limited slice of stores at a single point in time. By the time the deck arrives, competitors have moved facings and category share has changed. Sena adds continuous capture in near real-time via Sena Vision, so the category team acts on the current shelf.
