The Challenge

A global retailer operating in multiple regions faced inefficiencies that directly impacted both revenue and customer loyalty. Inventory mismanagement created significant financial losses—some stores had unsellable surplus, while others routinely went out of stock. Despite collecting vast amounts of customer data, they lacked real-time analytics to personalize experiences or drive insights.

The retailer had experimented with isolated AI pilots but failed to integrate them into a unified system. Leadership demanded measurable ROI, but without a clear strategy or consistent data practices, these pilots could not scale. To remain competitive in a fast-changing retail market, they needed AI solutions that delivered business value, not just experiments.

Key Obstacles:

• Inventory Challenges: Overstock in some regions, shortages in others.

• Poor Data Utilization: Siloed data with no real-time insights.

• Scaling Barriers: AI pilots never transitioned into production.

• ROI Pressure: Leadership demanded quick, measurable results.
