Suppliers are flying blind on the shelf

Australian CPG brands spend millions on trade promotions and category management. But most have never seen their own planogram across the stores that stock their products. Every shelf change is a guess. Every range review is a negotiation without data.

01

Invisible shelf placement

Suppliers don't know where their products sit, how much space they have, or how it varies store to store.

02

Expensive in-store testing

Testing a new shelf layout in physical stores costs time, disrupts shoppers, and limits the scope of experimentation.

03

No shopper validation

Category resets, NPD launches, and pack changes go live without testing how real shoppers respond at the shelf.

How ShelfLab Works

From planogram data to shopper-validated decisions

Ingest planogram data

We work with retailers to access real planogram data across their store estate. Every SKU, every facing, every fixture, mapped digitally.

Build virtual stores

Planogram data becomes photorealistic virtual aisles. Test assortment changes, pricing, NPD, merchandising, and layout changes in a risk-free digital environment.

Validate with shoppers

Real Australian grocery shoppers navigate the virtual store. We measure what they pick up, put back, switch to, and buy. Behavioral data, not surveys.

Testing and data, together

The Opportunity

Australia's grocery data gap

Coles and Woolworths are transforming into data platforms. Suppliers are paying for retail media but can't see their own shelf. ShelfLab bridges that gap.

The shelf is the last metre of marketing

Every brand strategy, every trade spend dollar, every product innovation, it all comes down to what happens when a shopper stands in front of the shelf. ShelfLab makes that moment measurable, testable, and predictable for Australian grocery, for the first time.
