Artificial intelligence is a well-known technology that can dramatically improve operational agility, reduce costs, improve supply chain management processes, and create an incredible customer experience.
AI in supply chain management
Supply chain management helps businesses provide their customer with end-to-end visibility across the supply chain using artificial intelligence. AI in supply chain management can dramatically reduce human error, improve inventory productivity, increase responsiveness, and provide valuable insights critical to businesses.
How does AI improve retail planning?
Before the advent of artificial intelligence, retailers did not have sophisticated tools to improve planning, scheduling and tracking accuracy. Using AI, retailers can process considerable quantities of information and automate manual procedures throughout the supply chain. AI absorbs and assesses knowledge from numerous planning purposes, then generates particular calculations that facilitate near real-time decision making.
Capitalize on AI solutions can be very convenient for managers, allowing them to create charts and automatically fill in confirmed plans instantly. Besides, the use of artificial intelligence in retail provides accurate and prioritized work forecasts, mitigates disruptions, reduces costs and overhead, and makes better decision-making with changing rules.
AI Benefits for Inventory Management
Artificial intelligence can accelerate different facets of inventory management or perhaps remove the need for individual resources altogether. Inventory is often assessed manually, but AI implementation could automate stock tracking.
Artificial intelligence is also applied in robotic systems that can inspect, reorganize, and replenish items. Robots collaborate with IoT sensors and sophisticated AI algorithms that guide them to specific points and enable them to group-specific products in a particular order. While the mix of robotics, IoT and AI will demand a substantial investment and time-consuming growth, this option can automate the majority of the stock management procedures and make a massive contribution to the retail business’s efficacy.
Creating an extraordinary customer experience with AI
Extensive customer support with AI Chatbots
The vast majority of customer problems are resolved through customer support systems that require human resources and do not exclude employee errors. Also, modern customer support systems can be time-consuming and cannot meet customer requirements for real-time problem-solving. AI chatbots can address these shortcomings and provide faster, more convenient customer support in retailers.
Product suggestions via AI Chatbots
Businesses must keep their customers informed of the latest offers and innovative products. Now, consumers are usually notified by messages or email. In terms of advertisement, such approaches are considerably less effective than using AI bots.
AI-powered, accurate visual product search
Artificial intelligence allows images to be used to find identical or related visual assets. Thanks to this feature, there is no need for lengthy queries aimed at finding the same brand, style or specific seller. AI can process and interpret a user’s visual search request, provide up to 95% accurate results and suggest similar products, some of which may even be more appropriate than the original element.
Online stores can benefit from specially designed apps that enable their buyers to take product images and find similar products. Macy’s major US department store chain has already begun implementing such an AI-powered virtual search.
