FORM, the retail execution software company behind GoSpotCheck, today unveiled new AI-powered point-of-sale materials (POSM) image recognition capabilities that automatically detect, classify and extract in-store marketing compliance, campaign, and price data during store visits. The new capabilities give brands and retailers real-time visibility of in-store materials, displays, and promotions, so they can ensure their marketing investments are executed as planned. “Brands and retailers invest billions on trade spend and POSM production, yet most organizations lack a reliable way to confirm whether those materials are deployed in stores, correctly placed, or even present during a campaign's most critical moments,” said Alexander Zagvazdin, Chief Product Officer, FORM. “Our new POSM Recognition capability changes that, turning every field image into structured, actionable intelligence without adding friction to existing workflows.” POSM Recognition particularly benefits sectors where in-store display compliance has the highest business stakes, such as beer, wine and spirits (BWS), which typically have large-scale seasonal activations across thousands of accounts; quick service restaurants (QSR) with limited time offers; grocery retailers verifying private label and own-brand promotional execution; snacks and confectionery, as well as personal care brands with contractually defined display compliance obligations tied to retailer agreements. For leaders, the capability enables real-time campaign verification, faster identification of execution gaps, and POSM waste reduction by identifying materials that never reach the shelf. Also, it connects execution data to trade spend ROI, giving organizations the proof-of-performance they need to optimize future investment decisions. With POSM Recognition, data is delivered directly to customers’ existing GoSpotCheck workflow, in both PhotoWorks and the GoSpotCheck mobile app, ensuring that field reps, retail teams, supervisors and leaders all see the same standardized data without changing how they work. Built on next-generation AI that understands visual content in context, POSM Recognition delivers capabilities that other existing solutions cannot match: - Zero-shot,
