Instacart has introduced new software that allows grocers and consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands to digitally monitor store shelves in real time. The system maps entire stores down to individual products, using data from 600,000 shoppers who scan shelves multiple times daily, generating over 10 million data points. This real-time visibility helps retailers track product availability, demand changes, and merchandising impact, improving inventory accuracy and customer experience. The launch complements Instacart's AI shopping assistant, Clementine, which relies on accurate shelf data to provide reliable product recommendations to shoppers.
