About Milky Way AI
We help CPG brands to understand how their products are being displayed, priced and what are their competitors are doing across millions of physical stores in real time with our computer vision powered mobile app. Each year these brands spend $500 bn annually buying prime retail shelf space to influence customer purchasing decisions, but they have no easy way to audit it. Our mobile app reduces the time of these audits by 10x and cost by 3x.
