What AIIRS Can Do In A Bodega Pilot
AIIRS is strongest when it helps a store count visible inventory, monitor coolers and backstock, compare deliveries, surface low-stock and merchandising issues, and prepare smarter reorder decisions from photos, camera snapshots, and sales inputs.

Core Pilot Capabilities
Visible inventory counting: AIIRS can count front-facing and partially visible products from shelf, cooler, and counter photos.
Brand-aware recognition: AIIRS can recognize store staples like tobacco brands, candy, chips, canned beverages, bottles, and 2-liter products when they are visible enough in the image.
Receiving workflows: AIIRS can compare purchase orders and delivery images to help verify what was expected versus what was received.
Merchandising and stock health: AIIRS can highlight shelf gaps, low-stock zones, cooler-facing issues, and restock needs.
Purchase support: AIIRS can prepare suggested reorder lists using counted inventory, vendor metadata, and stored price-aware product data.
Best Bodega Test Areas
Counter tobacco wall: cigarettes, cigars, pouches, and front-counter product visibility.
Candy and chips section: fast-turn snack categories and shelf-gap spotting.
Cooler doors: facings, beverage variety, and repeated low-stock drink rows.
Backstock area: drink cases, chip cartons, candy boxes, and receiving overflow.
Delivery area: receiving photos, short videos, and PO comparison before inventory is accepted.
What AIIRS Can Identify
Tobacco: Newport, Marlboro Red, Backwoods, Swisher Sweets, ZYN
Candy: Snickers, Reese's, Skittles, gummy candy boxes
Beverages: Coke can cases, Pepsi can cases, Sprite 2-liters, Coke 2-liters, Arizona Tea, Gatorade
Snacks: Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, Pringles
Image-based pricing support: recognized items can already carry stored vendor and price metadata to support smarter reorder planning.
Honest Pilot Limits
Front rows are strongest: AIIRS is most reliable on visible facings and first-row inventory.
Second row can work: partially visible second-row stock is often usable if the angle and lighting are good.
Deep hidden rows are weaker: stock behind other product, glare, blur, or blocked labels can reduce accuracy.
Human review still matters: AIIRS should support decisions, not replace store staff judgment.
Pilot Setup Recommendation
Best hardware: one tablet with a strong rear camera and reliable store WiFi.
Best operating mode: run AIIRS as a web app in the browser, not from a USB install.
Optional upgrades: one or two fixed WiFi cameras for cooler and counter coverage after the first test pass.
Best process: compare AIIRS results to a quick human count for front-row and second-row inventory during the test.
