Field Agent acquires Shelfgram
Field Agent, a retail data and technology company specializing in consumer packaged goods (CPG), announced it has acquired Shelfgram, a provider of a solution platform that optimizes shopper-submitted photos with artificial intelligence.
The acquisition will bring together both company’s technologies to provide complete shelf transparency for brands—reducing time required for store visits, offering image-driven data, and building actionable insights, and providing companies a means to analyze pricing trends, improve promotional execution, and research the competitive landscape more efficiently.

With the acquisition, we're building a bridge over the current product visibility limitations the CPG industry faces."
