The Problems We're Solving

Physical retail is economically critical but operationally outdated. ShelfLink addresses the structural gaps that no existing solution tackles.

⏱️

Slow Access Cycles

New products wait 6-12 months for shelf trials due to quarterly buying cycles and relationship-driven decisions, creating massive bottlenecks for innovation.

📊

Static Shelf Allocation

Underperforming products hold space due to contractual inertia while better alternatives struggle to gain access. No dynamic reallocation exists.

💰

Economic Barriers

Slotting fees and promotional commitments exclude emerging brands from physical retail, even when local demand exists.

🏪

Underused Micro Space

Independent venues have valuable counter and display space that generates little revenue due to lack of structured monetisation.

🤝

Trust & Enforcement

Flexible shelf arrangements fail because brands can't verify placement execution and venues can't ensure compliance at scale.

📝

No Auditability

Shelf allocation decisions can't be explained or defended, creating internal risk and preventing fair, transparent processes.

How ShelfLink Works

A complete closed-loop system that transforms physical shelf space into a governed, allocatable resource.

📦

Standardised Shelf Units

Convert physical placements into measurable micro units with encoded attributes: placement height, footfall intensity, customer demographics, and adjacency influence. Make shelf space comparable and tradable.

Time-Bound Access

Book placements for controlled trial windows. Test demand in specific locations without permanent range commitments. Reduce access friction from months to days.

📈

Performance-Based Reallocation

Verified outcomes directly influence future shelf access. Sell-through rates, compliance scores, and demand signals determine renewals. Merit replaces politics.

Compliance Verification

Time-stamped photo evidence confirms correct placement and duration. Build trust through auditable execution. Scale flexible arrangements without disputes.

🎯

Fair Access Rules

Embedded constraints prevent category monopolisation and pay-to-win dynamics. Emerging brands compete on performance, not budget. Retailers defend decisions with transparency.

🌐

Unified Marketplace

Enterprise retailers, independent shops, cafés, gyms, and salons participate under the same framework. One consistent method for all physical access.
