CINDE Store Intelligence gives c-store operators real-time shelf visibility across every location, without fixed cameras or store WiFi.
Out-of-stocks in beverages, snacks, and tobacco go undetected for hours. Customers can't find what they came in for, and the sale walks out the door with them. CINDE Store Intelligence gives c-store operators real-time shelf visibility across every location.
Image recognition detects gaps and prioritizes them by revenue impact across hundreds or thousands of stores. Store teams fix the highest-value issues first.
Quick mobile captures replace manual aisle walks, taking seconds instead of minutes. Retailers report 30-90% labor savings in shelf gap identification across deployments.
CINDE scores compliance automatically and flags deviations. Field teams focus on the locations and categories that need attention most.
CINDE identifies out-of-stock items with available back-of-house inventory and routes replenishment tasks to store teams. The lost sales that used to walk out the door get recovered before the shift ends.

Real-time shelf intelligence is the foundation. Once you can see what’s happening across every location, you can start optimizing the decisions that determine what goes on the shelf, how it’s promoted, and who pays for the insight.
Every square foot matters in a c-store. CINDE’s assortment optimization uses sales, margin, and local demand signals to recommend the right SKU mix per location, so you maximize revenue from limited shelf space instead of relying on one-size-fits-all planograms.
Confirm that promotional displays, end caps, and price changes are actually executed at store level. When CPG partners invest in promotions, shelf-level verification proves the spend delivered what was promised.
Your shelf data has commercial value. Suppliers want to know what’s selling, what’s out of stock, and how their products perform at the shelf. CINDE turns that visibility into a new revenue stream by sharing actionable intelligence with CPG partners.
CINDE works with mobile capture. Store associates use a handheld device to scan sections during routine shifts. No fixed cameras, no WiFi dependency, no construction required.
Small-format stores have the highest revenue per square foot and the least margin for error. A single out-of-stock in a high-velocity category like energy drinks or tobacco can mean hundreds of dollars in weekly lost sales per location.
POS tells you what sold. It cannot tell you what’s actually on the shelf right now. Phantom inventory (the system says it’s in stock, but it’s not on the shelf) is one of the biggest hidden revenue leaks in convenience retail.
