Without this data

Your team surrenders the digital aisle to aggressive category challengers.

Brand visibility drops below the fold without any alert reaching your commercial managers. The gap between your negotiated assortment and actual retail execution widens daily.

Strategic
Misallocated retail media budgets
Category teams fund keyword campaigns without knowing their organic search baseline. This overlap inflates acquisition costs and obscures the true return on retailer advertising investments.
Operational
Manual keyword scraping workload
Digital analysts burn twenty hours a week copy-pasting search ranks from grocery websites into rigid spreadsheets. These static trackers become obsolete the moment a platform refreshes its caching.
Business
Eroded category volume share
Hero products drop to page three of search results, instantly cutting daily unit velocity by half. Competitors capture these diverted baskets before supply chain teams even notice the dip.
Intelligence
Stale retail compliance reporting
Executive scorecards rely on retrospective quarterly audits to gauge digital shelf health. By the time leadership reviews the data, the window to correct retailer execution errors has closed.

How it works

From raw search query to digital shelf dominance in three phases.

FoodDataLab continuously extracts visibility metrics from actual retail platforms, normalizing the results into clear commercial intelligence. Teams access this stream via interactive dashboards, REST API, or structured data feeds.

Scan

Our infrastructure maps exact product locations on Tesco, Amazon Fresh, and Carrefour multiple times a day. We document organic search placement, category listing status, and visual content completeness without manual intervention.
2

Normalize

Raw positioning metrics are cross-referenced against your specific SKUs to calculate true share of shelf. The system aligns varying retailer category structures into a single standard format for direct apples-to-apples comparison.
3

Deliver

Fully structured shelf intelligence flows directly into your internal systems via REST API or structured Parquet feeds. Commercial teams access clear visualization through custom Power BI dashboards updated on a daily cadence.
