How It Works

Three Pillars of Kenya Building Materials Execution

Cloud campaign brief, field photo capture at the outlet, AI audit scoring. Built for hardware shops, DIY chains, and tile showrooms across Nairobi and upcountry.

Campaign Brief and POSM Dispatch

Brief each season campaign with reference photos, planogram, and POSM kit list. Long rains roofing push or dry season interior paint push, the cloud tracks dispatch and outlet install in the campaign module.

Outlet Visit and Photo Capture

Field reps hit hardware shops, DIY chains, and tile showrooms on a beat plan. Photos go in with GPS stamp and timestamp. Cement aisle, shade card kiosk, tile sample wall, and roofing rack all captured.

AI Audits and Visibility Scoring

AI reads each photo for facings count, hot zone, togetherness, and competitor adjacency. Scores roll into a chain scorecard. Exceptions route to L2 supervisor review before the chain review meeting.

Retail Execution Reading List

Short reads on shelf gaps, planogram AI, store visibility, and the VisiMax app for Kenyan building materials and showroom retail execution.

Complete Platform

Hardware Shop Audits, Tile Showroom Scoring, Cement Aisle Planogram, Season Campaigns

A KE building materials stack: chain campaign brief, L1/L2/L3 audit, AI image recognition, chain visibility scorecard, season campaign rollout.

Chain Campaign Brief

Campaign briefs per chain log the agreed planogram, POSM kit, install window, and dismantle date. Status tracks per outlet against the season rollout plan.

L1, L2, L3 Audit Workflow

L1, L2, L3 audits run field self-audit, supervisor review, and KAM spot-check. Photo-plus-GPS evidence forms an audit trail that holds at chain review.

Chain Visibility Scorecard

Scorecard per chain: cement aisle compliance, shade card kiosk status, tile sample wall, roofing rack, share-of-shelf. Drill-down by region: Nairobi, Mombasa, upcountry clusters.

AI Image Recognition

AI reads photos for facings count, hot zone occupancy, togetherness, and competitor adjacency across cement, paint, tiles, and roofing. Routine pass-through is auto. Low-confidence frames go to L2 review.
