In our second real-life scenario in the series we look at the potential uses of AI in retail shopping and how it can help personalise the experience for customers. Not only will it enhance the customers overall experience, it can help retailers manage and optimise their operations.
Scenario:
A mid-sized retail chain operates both brick-and-mortar stores and an e-commerce platform. The company faces several challenges, including declining foot traffic in physical stores, difficulty in predicting consumer preferences accurately, and inefficient inventory management leading to stockouts or excess inventory. The retail chain aims to improve customer experience, optimize inventory, and increase sales revenue across both online and offline channels.
