Who it's for
GoSpotCheck is the field product now owned by FORM. Its site describes a task management, image recognition, and business intelligence platform for field execution. In February 2026, FORM combined with the image recognition business of Trax. GoSpotCheck is used by independent representatives and other field teams. People get a task, visit a store they do not staff, collect answers and photos, and move on.
Retailens is for HQ teams that run dated campaigns across a network of stores. HQ admins set zones and touchpoints, attach reference images, and write requirements. Partner and store users who already work with that store upload photos online from the camera or gallery. Drafts save on the server.
If your program is a list of IR tasks, GoSpotCheck by FORM is the better fit. If your program is a network standard that stores must prove, Retailens is the better fit.
For SKU recognition or tasks for independent reps, choose GoSpotCheck by FORM. Retailens has no SKU recognition. For retail audit software against your reference image, choose Retailens.
How the work is organized
On GoSpotCheck by FORM, the unit of work is the task. The person doing it is often not on the store payroll.
On Retailens, the unit of work is the campaign touchpoint. The person uploading already works with that store, and HQ owns the standard. Each account keeps HQ admins, partner users, and store users separate.
A campaign has a start and an end date. Tasks can run continuously. If your program never closes, a task tool will fit it more naturally than a dated campaign.
Photo review
On Retailens, every upload lands in a shared review queue. A person on your team signs off the official grade after looking at each photo against the reference image. Reviewers comment on the photo and mention teammates. Partner and store leaderboards and a completion trend show campaign progress. There is no reviewer assignment and no ticket queue.
Each customer can turn on video proof, so stores add a short video next to their photos. Each customer can also turn on AI pre-score, touchpoint by touchpoint. It checks each photo against the reference image and written requirements before a person reviews it. When a store misses, open correction reminders sit in one list, HQ resolves them, and the partner is notified. Each store gets a PDF report once its review is complete. With scoring turned on, admins can download an Excel scoring report per campaign for their scoring region.

Retailens is priced per store, not per seat. Published marketing rates are on the pricing page. The price is per year, with all features included.
