Who should watch this session?

The ones who get pulled into every “why is this happening?”

C-level leaders: Own growth, margin, and scale decisions
VPs and Directors: Align systems, teams, and execution
Retail Ops & Functional Owners: Solve issues before stores feel the impact

Why this is harder in retail?

AI only works when operations move together

One decision affects stores, inventory, customers, and finance at the same time
Insights do not help much if teams still depend on manual handoffs
Small delays quickly turn into stockouts, overbuy, and margin leakage

In this on-demand session, you’ll learn:

AI only scales when your operations are unified, not fragmented

A reality filter to separate AI buzz from execution wins. Across stores, teams, and channels
The baseline for usable AI without integration chaos. One cloud foundation with built in ERP and CRM. One set of numbers. One workflow. Fewer handoffs
The 3 AI plays working right now in retail ops: Forecasting to reduce overbuy and stockouts. Early decision signals before issues hit the floor. Automation that kills follow ups and spreadsheet chasing
