Retail Data Annotation for Computer Vision

Train retail AI on accurately labeled product, shelf, store and checkout data, from a team that has supported autonomous retail since 2020.

Retail Data Annotation for Computer Vision and Commerce AI

Annotera provides retail data annotation that helps AI understand products, shelves, shoppers and transactions. We label product images for recognition and categorization, shelf images for planogram and out-of-stock checks, in-store video for footfall and loss prevention, and checkout footage for autonomous and self-checkout systems, plus reviews and support conversations for retail NLP.

Since 2020, our teams have supported an autonomous retail program from India, the Philippines and Albania. As a result, retailers and retail technology companies get datasets built on real store conditions, with three-layer QA and a free 48-hour pilot on their own data.
