The problem
Every in-store bakery has a baking plan. The team knows it, but staff attend to other tasks, schedules slip and, between one restock and the next, the shelf is left empty. A customer who finds an empty tray buys something else or nothing at all, and that lost sale leaves no ticket, no complaint and no record.
The gap was not between what the store wanted to sell and what the customer wanted to buy. It was between the baking plan and its execution, and no one was measuring it.
Key finding - 02
How it was solved
A generative AI module that interprets what the store's existing cameras see. It does not count people: it watches the shelf.
- ✓Restocking alert: the team is notified in real time when the display runs low or empties, while the customer is still in the store.
- ✓Plan compliance: visibility on how much of the baking and restocking plan is met, by shift, day and store.
The first one solves today's out-of-stock; the second one keeps it from happening again.

Results
- ✓Bakery section sales up 45%.
- ✓Store sales conversion up 6 percentage points.
- ✓No new hardware: everything runs on the cameras already installed.
The increase did not come from more traffic or a promotion: it came from no longer losing the sales that were already there.
