The work

Store staff photograph each aisle twice a day. Our labellers draw a box around every product facing and match it to the chain’s catalogue of 48,000 products, including the many that differ only in flavour or size.

Work runs in both centres so that images taken during the North American afternoon are labelled overnight. Manila and Nairobi teams calibrate against the same gold set every week.
