AI inspections for YOOBIC

Overview

A YOOBIC photo proves the mission happened. Reading it is still a person's job. YOOBIC plans, assigns and tracks store tasks across every location, replaces paper checklists with modular store audits, scores a visit the moment it is submitted, and lets a lead annotate a photo and approve execution. All of that is real, and it is why 350-plus retailers run it. The part that does not scale is the last one: a person looking. Across several hundred stores, mission photos arrive faster than any visual merchandising or operations team can open them. RapidEye reads all of them, compares each store against what that store looks like when it is right, and returns a finding that names the store, the zone and the problem.

How it works with YOOBIC

YOOBIC gives work three shapes, and each one puts a camera in a different pair of hands. RapidEye reads all three, so the store is seen from head office, from the district manager and from the shop floor in the same week.

• Visual merchandising missions. Head office sends the guideline, the store rebuilds the table, the associate photographs it. YOOBIC gets the photo back in real time. RapidEye reads it against the guideline and against the last time that same fixture was right: a size run broken, two facings missing, the wrong colourway on the front rail, the sale signage from three weeks ago still on the plinth.
• Store visits and audits. The district manager works the checklist, YOOBIC scores it, action plans follow. RapidEye reads the visit photos for everything the checklist did not ask about, which is most of the store: a damaged fitting-room door in the background of a compliant display, water staining under a chiller, a fire exit blocked by stock cages.
• Daily task completion. Opening checks, promotion swaps, cleaning rounds. A photo attached and a task closed. RapidEye reads the closing photo and says whether the promotion actually went up, whether the back-of-house aisle is clear, whether the thing that was flagged last week is still there.
• Repeat offenders and drift. One photo shows a moment. A year of photos of the same store shows which locations slide the same way every peak, which fixtures break repeatedly, and which action plan closed without anything changing.

A finding names the store, the zone, the type of problem, how serious it is, and shows the frames it came from beside the last good frames of the same zone. It lands in the RapidEye dashboard, and in a Slack channel or an inbox for your operations team if that is where they look. What you do about it inside YOOBIC, an action plan, a message, a return visit, stays yours. And if your teams capture something other than stills, video walkthroughs of an aisle, a capture format of your own, a 3D scan of a flagship, that is something we set up with you.

How to connect YOOBIC to RapidEye

1. The mission and visit types that carry photos. In YOOBIC, work reaches stores as missions, store visits and audits. Tell us which of yours require a photo: the visual merchandising missions, the store visit checklist, the promotional compliance run, the opening checks. Those are the ones RapidEye reads first.
2. Where the photos come from. Usually YOOBIC itself, since photo capture is already how your teams prove a mission was done. If a store format or a mission type captures nothing today, a RapidEye capture link fills the gap: any phone, no app to install, a fixed set of angles per zone, taken at the same point in the day.
3. Give RapidEye an account. Tell us the YOOBIC account and how many stores it covers, and add Rapid Eye with the email support@rapideyeinspections.com. YOOBIC does not publish its user administration steps outside its customer help centre, so your YOOBIC administrator sets the access up and we work it through with them.

What YOOBIC does with a store photo today

Checked against YOOBIC's product documentation, September 2026.

YOOBIC is a frontline operations platform for retail, built around three pillars its own product pages name as task management, communications and learning, with an AI layer above them and integrations into more than 200 other systems. According to YOOBIC's product documentation (yoobic.com), task management lets retailers "plan, assign, and track store tasks across every location in real time", store audits are modular and flexible rather than one-size-fits-all paper checklists, issues turn into action plans that are tracked to completion, and reporting runs down to the individual user and question. YOOBIC also publishes what customers get from that: Michaels reaching 98 percent compliance when audited, Boots saving the equivalent of 9.4 million dollars in labor hours, GANT at a 90 percent visual merchandising compliance rate. The photo is present at every stage of this. Here is where it enters and what happens to it.

Each lane is a real YOOBIC workflow. The rows describe what its own documentation says the platform does with the photo, and the last row is what reading the image adds on top.

Does YOOBIC review the content of the photos it collects?

A person does, when a person has time. YOOBIC is unusually direct about this and it is a strength of the product: photo feedback is described as annotating photos and approving execution, and the visual merchandising pages talk about seeing the photos to check rollout. That is a human in the loop, deliberately, because a VM lead's eye is worth having on a display. It works at the scale a lead can cover. What no documented feature does is evaluate an image on its own when nobody opens it, which is the condition every large estate ends up in: hundreds of stores, thousands of frames a week, a team of a few. That is not a gap in YOOBIC, it is the arithmetic of a frontline platform doing its job well enough that the evidence outgrows the reviewers. RapidEye reads what the reviewers cannot get to, and the annotate-and-approve loop stays exactly where it is for the stores that need a human eye.
