Why Choose Cloud AI POSM Management in South Africa?

Built for South Africa's dual-channel reality — national chains, independent supermarkets and township spaza shops covered by one field team. Define the materials, push them out across distributor territories, prove placement with geotagged photos, and score compliance outlet by outlet, with or without a signal.
POSM Category & Type Setup – Set up types such as branded fridges, gondola ends, shelf strips, parasols or standees, each tied to a brand.
Campaign Tagging & Reference Images – Attach POSM items to a campaign with reference photos showing exactly how placement should look.
Offline-First Photo Proof – Capture GPS-stamped photos with no bars of signal; the app queues them and syncs once coverage returns.
Deployment Status per Outlet – Live deployed, missing or damaged status per item, from Johannesburg and Durban to Cape Town and Polokwane.
Exception Handling – Raise a damaged or missing POSM with a reason and a photo, then route it through an approval workflow.
Audit & Compliance Scoring – Auditors score every photo against its reference image, so phantom placements never get paid for.

How Our Software Works?

Admins define POSM categories, create types against brands, and tag them to campaigns with reference images. Merchandisers then work their assigned list — chain aisles, independent supermarkets, forecourts and township spaza counters — photographing each deployed POSM, flagging anything damaged or missing, and submitting from a low-bandwidth app that captures offline and syncs later. Auditors score compliance against the reference images while dashboards follow deployment status, exception counts and outlet-level POSM coverage in every territory.
