Implementation photos for planograms
Stores can upload photos of actual displays in the store to planograms so that you can compare the planogram with the actual display. It is up to you whether you leave this option optional for stores or require it when confirming planograms. Photos of implementation greatly increase the motivation of stores to implement planograms correctly.
How to make the store to upload an implementation photo as mandatory?
You can find this setting in Quant when publishing a planogram. If you are publishing a planogram in a waiting state, you can select the Implementation Photo Required checkbox which ensures that the Quant's Web does not allow the store to confirm the planogram without uploading the photo.
For more information on publishing planograms to the life cycle, see the Lifecycle of Planogram manual.
Subsequently, when confirming the implementation on the web interface, the store will be obliged to upload an implementation photo. Ideally, the store can confirm planograms on a tablet or smartphone, and during the confirmation it has the opportunity to create a photo and upload it at the same time.
You can read more about the planogram confirmation process in the Planogram Confirmation manual.
Quant also uses artificial intelligence to compare photos with planograms and evaluate the quality of implementation. For more information, see the Image Recognition manual.
If the store office wants to upload a new implementation photo, just click on the Upload Implementation Photo button. The last uploaded photo is always displayed next to the planogram.
Another place where you can watch uploaded photos is in the menu in the Photos section. The menu is divided into:
- Recent Photos - shows photos that have been uploaded recently. If you are logged in as a category manager who manages all stores, then these are photos from all stores.
- Store Photos - only photos uploaded by the active store are shown here.
Quant Web allows you to easily switch to the planogram or fixture in the floor plan to which the photo relates.
You can read more about the Photos section in the Photos Overview on the Web manual.
