AI photo review for StoreForce
Read every photo your stores and field leaders attach in StoreForce, and get a finding back for what the picture shows and the completed task does not.
StoreForce collects the evidence; it is not built to sit and look at all of it. Tasks carry requirements, attachments and sub-tasks. Store visits and audits capture photos and notes in the workflow. Visual merchandising directives get validated by a photo the store uploads of the finished display. That is a complete record of what your estate looked like, and on a fleet of a few hundred stores it arrives faster than any head office team can open it. RapidEye reads the photos attached in StoreForce, along with the store, the date and the task or visit they belong to, and returns one finding per problem with the evidence behind it.

How it works with StoreForce
StoreForce already sorts store work into distinct kinds, and the checks follow that sorting rather than inventing a new one. What comes back is written for the person who owns the outcome: the district manager, the visual merchandising lead, the operations director.
Task photos. A task in StoreForce can carry requirements, attachments and sub-tasks, and completion is validated with follow-ups. RapidEye reads the photo behind the validation and says whether the recovery, the reset or the safety check looks done in the picture, naming the store and the task.
Store visits and audits. Field leaders capture photos and notes inside the visit, and store teams can run self-audits between visits. RapidEye reads both, so a self-audit gets the same reading as a district manager's visit and the two can be compared store by store.
Visual merchandising directives. StoreForce validates execution with photo uploads: the store submits its own photo of the finished display. RapidEye compares that photo to the standard you set and to the same store's previous campaign, and flags the missing signage, the wrong facing direction, the fixture that never got built.
Damage and condition nobody raised. The chipped fixture, the failed light track, the water mark spreading on the ceiling tile. These appear in the corner of a photo taken for another reason, and they become a finding whether or not anyone opened a help ticket about them.
Stores in your worst week. Peak trading, a new banner, a seasonal reset across a region. Volume is when review normally collapses, and it is exactly when every photo still gets read.
A finding names the store, the place inside it, the type of problem, how serious it looks, the photos that prove it, and a suggested next step. It surfaces in the RapidEye dashboard, and your operations team can subscribe by Slack or email. What happens next in StoreForce is your call: a new task, a note for the next visit, or nothing. Photos are only the most common input. If your teams shoot video walkthroughs of a store, run a scan of a flagship, or work to an inspection format of your own, that is something we set up with you.
How to connect StoreForce to RapidEye
Name the stores. Tell us which part of your StoreForce hierarchy you want read: a region, a banner, a pilot district, or the whole estate. Stores outside it stay outside it, and StoreForce supports sorting by standard and alternative hierarchies, so a pilot can follow either one.
Point us at the photos. Name the task templates, store visit forms and merchandising directives whose photos matter to you. If a task type carries no photo today, a RapidEye capture link opens on any store phone, no app to install, and the associate shoots a fixed set of angles before marking the task done.
Add RapidEye as a user. StoreForce accounts are administered centrally at your brand, so whoever owns that adds RapidEye with read access to the stores in scope. The name and email to give them are in the Connect window here.
Where photos live in StoreForce, and what each one proves
Checked against StoreForce's own product documentation, September 2026.
StoreForce is retail workforce management for multi-location brands, built around scheduling, tasking, communication and store insights, and used across specialty, department store, grocery, convenience, pharmacy and hardware retail. According to StoreForce's own product documentation (storeforce.com), photos are not a single feature bolted to one screen; they enter the platform at four different moments, and each one carries a different kind of proof.
Integrated task managementSurface one
Tasks are planned, assigned by role and location, given priority levels and connected to the schedule. StoreForce says tasks can be created with requirements, attachments and sub-tasks, that completion is validated with follow-ups, and that repeat work becomes a template so it runs the same way in every store.
The photo proves the task was worked. Reading it tells you how well.
Store visits and auditsSurface two
Visits can be planned in advance or run on the fly, with structured priorities, immediate task creation during the visit, and insights, photos and notes captured directly in the workflow. Store teams can complete self-audits in between. In StoreForce 3.0 the visit brings performance context, structured audits and follow-up work into one experience.
The photo proves a leader stood there. Reading it puts the stores nobody visited on the same footing.
Visual merchandising validationSurface three
StoreForce describes execution being validated with photo uploads and store-level reporting, and its own guidance on visual standards is explicit about the shape: a photo SOP card shows the finished display with labelled sections, and stores use it as a reference and submit their own photo to confirm completion.
Two images of the same display, the standard and the store. That comparison is the one a machine does well at scale.
Communication and help ticketsSurface four
Head office messages can carry rich content such as images and video, targeted by role or location, with engagement tracked. Support requests are raised from inside tasks and workflows, routed to the right experts, with SLAs monitored, so a broken fixture arrives with a picture attached to the ticket.
These photos prove a problem someone already noticed. The rest of the estate has the same problem unreported.
Does StoreForce tell you whether the work was done well?
It tells you it was done, which is the harder half of the problem and the half StoreForce solves properly. Its own writing on store visits is candid about what comes next: audit completion rates in most retail networks are strong, and yet some stores still underperform against standards, because identifying an issue is not the same as fixing it. StoreForce answers that with structure, the observe, assess, act cycle, action plans with named owners and tracked resolution.
What structure cannot manufacture is attention. A large fleet can run dozens of store visits a day across regions and districts, every merchandising campaign returns a photo from every location, and daily tasks add more on top. Somebody has to look at the pictures for a finding to exist at all, and at that volume nobody looks at most of them. RapidEye is the reader: every photo attached in StoreForce gets opened, compared to the standard and to that store's own history, and turned into a finding your team can act on inside the workflow StoreForce already runs.
What StoreForce offers a connected system
StoreForce publishes an integration and API surface of its own: a high volume task creation API, SAML 2.0 single sign-on with alternative authentication where SSO is not available, user and location synchronisation by either feed file processing or a REST API, and out-of-the-box task widgets that display a user's tasks inside Microsoft Teams, Salesforce or SharePoint. Its task documentation also states plainly that tasks can connect to external systems and automate data flow. In other words, a brand running StoreForce is already set up to have other systems read from it, and RapidEye reads without asking a single store associate to change what they do.
StoreForce integration FAQ
Does RapidEye integrate with StoreForce?
Yes. RapidEye reads the photos your store teams and field leaders attach in StoreForce, together with the store, the date and the task or visit they belong to, and returns a finding for each problem it sees: a display built wrong, a fixture damaged, a zone left unrecovered, stock missing from a bay. Your tasks, store visits, schedules and reporting in StoreForce are not changed.
Where do photos live in StoreForce?
In three places its documentation names. Tasks can carry requirements, attachments and sub-tasks. Store visits and audits capture insights, photos and notes directly in the workflow. And StoreForce describes photo uploads as the way visual merchandising execution is validated, with stores submitting their own photo of a finished display to confirm completion. RapidEye reads whichever of those your brand uses.
Can RapidEye check a task that was already marked complete in StoreForce?
Yes, and that is the usual case. Completion in StoreForce is a validated statement that the work was done. RapidEye reads the photo attached to it and says what the photo shows: the endcap missing two facings, the signage from last season still up, the stockroom door propped, the damaged shelf nobody raised a ticket for. The finding names the store and the task so a district manager knows where to look.
Will RapidEye create or close tasks in StoreForce?
No. StoreForce stays the system of record for tasks, visits, audits, schedules and completion. RapidEye reads and reports; your operations team decides whether a finding becomes a new task, a follow-up on the next visit, or nothing at all.
We came to StoreForce from ThinkTime. Does that change anything?
No. StoreForce announced its acquisition of ThinkTime in August 2023, and thinktime.com now resolves to storeforce.com. If your task and photo history came across with you, RapidEye reads that history the same way it reads new photos, and uses it to learn what each of your stores looks like when it is right.
Does this work for a 600-store estate?
That is the size it is built for. StoreForce points out that large fleets can run dozens of store visits a day across regions and districts, and photo volume grows with every campaign, reset and daily task. RapidEye reads every photo instead of the handful a person has time to open, so coverage stops depending on who happened to scroll.
