  • Patent number: 12705620
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a store's displays and for automatically ordering components for such displays. A system includes at least one database of products details regarding each product's various prices, physical packaging dimensions, descriptions, and at least one image of each product. The system allows a user to configure a fixture on which products are to be displayed. Each display fixture can then be provisioned by the user so that the identity of the products to be displayed on each display peg or shelf is displayed. The database may also include a database of the various display fixtures used in the store along with the parts, components, and supplies for those fixtures. The system automatically generates purchase orders and authorization requests if an order is above a certain amount. In the event a request is not addressed within a certain amount of time, the system generates automated reminders.

  • Publication number: 20260113595
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the positions of fixtures are disclosed. A tracking unit is attached to a fixture and sends position information to a server by way of a third-party intermediary device. The server determines whether the fixture is within a predetermined first radius around a designated position for the fixture. When the fixture is within the first radius, the fixture is determined to be ‘in position’. When the fixture is outside of the first radius, the fixture is determined to be ‘out of position’ and the server sends an alert to at least one designated computing device.

  • Publication number: 20250156895
    Abstract: Systems and methods for gathering data regarding a specific fixture and the products displayed on that fixture. A user is guided towards the specific fixture and is directed to take images of the fixture as well as of specific products displayed on that fixture. Data regarding one or more of these products is also gathered from the user. The images taken as well as the data gathered are then uploaded to a remote server for processing. These images and the data may be crowdsourced to spread the effort required to gather the data.
