In today's fiercely competitive market, household Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands face numerous challenges in maintaining visibility, meeting sustainability demands, and optimising retail execution strategies.

Neurolabs’ ZIA (Zero Image Annotations) is a game-changing image recognition technology powered by synthetic data and computer vision. ZIA represents a paradigm shift in how CPG brands approach retail execution and consumer engagement strategies.
With its unparalleled capabilities and transformative potential, ZIA stands poised to redefine the landscape of the household CPG industry, empowering brands to overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and establish themselves as leaders in an increasingly dynamic market.
How Technology Helps You Take on the Competition
The household category is a battleground where CPG brands engage in relentless competition for coveted shelf space and consumer attention.
In this fiercely contested arena, effective advertising strategies that reach the right consumers and effectively convey the superiority of a brand's products are paramount. Eye-catching packaging and engaging Point-of-Purchase (POP) displays are crucial tools in attracting consumers to the brand and fuelling brand and category growth.
Moreover, the escalating demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products adds an additional layer of complexity to the landscape. CPG brands must adapt their portfolios and manufacturing processes to meet these evolving consumer preferences, further intensifying the competition within the household category.
Amidst these challenges, retail execution is a pivotal issue plaguing household CPG brands. Inconsistent product availability and in-store presence pose significant obstacles, hindering brands from establishing a cohesive and impactful retail strategy.
In response to these challenges, household CPG brands are increasingly turning to technology-driven solutions to gain a competitive edge. Image recognition, predictive analytics and AI are among the innovative tools being leveraged to streamline retail execution, optimise product assortment and packaging, and forge stronger partnerships with retailers.
By harnessing the power of data and technology, brands can unlock valuable insights, enhance visibility across retail channels, and ultimately drive sustainable sales growth.
Image Recognition & Workforce Optimisation
The shift towards a more flexible and technology-enabled field force is evident, with brands investing in data-driven decision-making and real-time insights.
While outsourcing retail execution was once prevalent, there's now a trend towards establishing smaller, agile field teams that leverage technology to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. This transition reflects a broader shift towards collaborative approaches to retail execution and category management.
Image recognition technologies, such as our ZIA (Zero Image Annotations), are poised to revolutionise retail execution in the household category. By automating data collection and providing real-time insights, ZIA enables brands to optimise product assortment, monitor shelf placement, inventory and enhance in-store visibility.
With its ability to generate synthetic data and leverage advanced computer vision, ZIA offers unparalleled accuracy, efficiency, cost efficiency and ease of use.

Recent reports show that 70% of shopping decisions are made on-site. This means that captivating displays and competitive price points easily sway consumers, emphasising the critical importance of maintaining visibility and strategic positioning within the retail space.
ZIA's In-Store Scene Understanding (ISSU) is a groundbreaking feature that transcends traditional shelf-level insights, offering a panoramic view of the entire in-store environment. This holistic approach provides household CPG brands with a comprehensive understanding of their product placement and presentation, competitor strategies, and consumer interactions.
Household CPG brands can unlock unparalleled insights and maximise sales potential by embracing ZIA for enhanced shelf data collection. Leveraging ISSU, ZIA not only provides detailed insights into a brand's own product catalogue but also offers a comprehensive analysis of competitor activities.
