AI shelf intelligence for pharmacy & beauty

The right product. The right place. Down to the detail.

Pharos turns shelf photos into a clearer view of product presence, placement and visibility. Built around pharmacy and beauty ranges, it helps field teams spot execution gaps and focus their next action.

For brands and merchandising agencies. Starting with Greek pharmacy and beauty retail.

A captured shelf of hair colour with recognition boxes drawn around each detected facing. One box is flagged: shade 6.1 was found where shade 6.0 was expected.

The problem

Small product differences can change the whole picture

A familiar pack can hide a different product. The next hair-colour box may be another shade. The next supplement bottle may contain a different strength or tablet count. Those details change what belongs on the shelf—and whether your agreed range is really represented.

Pharos focuses on the product distinctions that matter to pharmacy and beauty teams, connecting shelf recognition with merchandising checks and reporting.

Make every visit more useful

What a useful shelf finding looks like

Expected
Hair colour, shade 6.0, two facings.
Observed
Shade 6.1 detected in the expected position; shade 6.0 not detected in the captured area.
Next action
Check the placement and confirm whether shade 6.0 is available to replenish.

A shelf can look full while the agreed variant is missing. The detail is what makes the finding useful.

Two rows compared. The expected row shows two facings of shade 6.0. The observed row shows shade 6.1 in those positions, flagged, with shade 6.0 not detected in the captured area.

Scroll the diagram sideways to see the full row.

Illustrative example. Findings depend on your catalogue, the merchandising rules you agree and the shelf area captured.
