Stoc

Stoc is a technology company that specializes in AI-powered retail intelligence, specifically designed to optimize cooler inventory and increase profitability for beverage vendors and retailers. The company utilizes a combination of hardware and software solutions, including StocVision cameras and an AI-driven platform, to monitor inventory, track planogram compliance, and reduce stockouts. By automating the capture of cooler imagery—or allowing manual photo uploads—the system analyzes shelf data against optimization criteria to generate real-time, actionable insights for store operations teams. The solution is designed for a white-glove, low-technical-effort deployment that retrofits existing cooler assets to provide continuous visibility into retail execution performance.

This technology provides significant value to customers by solving the problem of poor inventory visibility and inefficient manual shelf management, which often lead to lost sales and operational waste. By providing live data and automated alerts, Stoc helps businesses ensure products are consistently available, correctly placed, and properly merchandised, which drives higher conversion rates and sales growth. The platform supports various use cases, such as convenience retail and beverage distribution, allowing partners to transition from static, manual audit processes to dynamic, data-driven inventory management. Stoc is backed by Crane NXT, reflecting its focus on high-impact, scalable retail technology solutions.
