Quick answer: Shop data collection is sending trained people into physical shops to capture structured, verified data — outlet details, owner, GPS location, stock, price, photos and any custom field you need. Anaxee does it end to end across India: the app, 40,000+ Digital Runners, the back office and AI quality checks, as one partner.

Whether you’re building an outlet master database, mapping distribution, checking stock and price, or verifying that a list of shops even exists, the task is the same: get a trained person into every shop and capture clean, structured data you can trust. That’s shop data collection — and across a country with 12 million+ retail outlets, the hard part is reach and reliability, not the form.

A survey app gives you the form and leaves you to find, train, route, pay and police the people. For one city that’s hard; for 540 districts it’s impossible to do yourself. Anaxee is built exactly for that — a technology company with its own 40,000+ field network.

What Anaxee collects, shop by shop

  • Outlet master data — shop name, owner, contact, category and GPS location, deduplicated into a clean database.
  • Stock, SKU & price — what each shop stocks, at what price, yours vs the competitor on the shelf.
  • Custom fields & forms — any question set you need — retail, GTM, agritech, distribution — captured on one app.
  • Photo & geo proof — every record tied to a shop photo, GPS point and timestamp, not a form filled from a tea stall.
  • Outlet mapping & verification — confirm claimed outlets exist and map the shops you’ve never reached.

A tool is not the job

Clean shop data depends on the people and the quality control, not just the app. Anaxee gives you the whole stack — see the full picture on our retail shop survey page.

Where technology and AI change the game

Every record is captured in the Anaxee Partner app — 100,000+ downloads, proven on projects reaching 3 million+ people — with an inbuilt training program per form and inbuilt per-field payment management. Visits are geo-tagged and time-stamped, data flows to a live dashboard and REST API, and AI reads the field photos to flag mismatches, de-duplicate messy outlet lists and catch visits that never happened — before human QA validates every record. You get a clean, structured dataset, not a pile of raw forms.

Frequently asked questions

What is shop data collection?
Sending trained people into physical shops to capture structured, verified data — outlet details, owner, GPS, stock, price, photos and any custom field — for retail audits, distribution mapping, outlet databases or GTM, with geo-tagged, photo-backed records.
Do you provide the app, or the people too?
Both, end to end — the Anaxee Partner app (100,000+ downloads), 40,000+ trained Runners, the back office, AI + human QA and a live dashboard. One partner, not just a form.
Can the data feed into our own system?
Yes. Data lands on a live dashboard and is available via REST API, so it flows into your ERP, CRM or BI tool in near real time rather than arriving as a monthly file.
Can you collect shop data nationwide, including small towns and villages?
Yes — that’s our edge. With 40,000+ Digital Runners across 540 districts and 11,000+ pincodes, we reach Tier 2, 3 and 4 towns and rural markets a thin in-house team or urban panel can’t.
