Retail
AI that runs the retail business, not just the report
Retailers manage thousands of SKUs, hundreds of stores, millions of customers, and an always-on ecommerce channel. The data is everywhere. Datafi connects it into a single operating system so every employee, from the store floor to the merchandising office, has superhuman ability to find answers, make decisions, and take action.
Retailers don't lack data. AI stalls because merchandising, store, ecommerce, and supply chain data live in separate worlds: the people who need answers can't reach them.
Fragmented Omnichannel Data
POS, ecommerce platforms, ERP, inventory management, pricing engines, loyalty systems, supply chain applications, and spreadsheets each hold a piece of the truth. Store managers can't see real-time sell-through against plan. Merchants can't connect promotional lift to inventory positions. Regional directors can't compare store performance without calling three people.
Every Decision Requires an Analyst
Merchants adjusting promotions, planners rebalancing receipts, and store managers responding to local demand all wait days for reports that should take seconds. Central analytics teams become bottlenecks. By the time answers arrive, the markdown window has closed or the out-of-stock has already cost sales.
AI Experiments That Don't Scale
Pilot projects produce interesting demos but never connect to the full business context. Internal builds require months of engineering. Copilot-style tools answer narrow questions but can't reason across merchandising, stores, supply chain, and finance. Meanwhile, retailers who deploy AI at scale pull ahead on margin, speed, and customer experience.

Use Cases
AI agents for every role in retail
From the buying office to the store floor to the supply chain. AI that connects the full business context and produces tangible outcomes, not just answers.
Merchandising & Assortment Intelligence
Give every merchant superhuman access to category performance
Category managers and merchants make hundreds of assortment decisions every season. They need to understand what's selling, what's not, where customer preferences are shifting, how promotions affect inventory, and which SKUs to add, keep, or exit. Datafi replaces the analyst bottleneck with instant, governed access to live POS, inventory, trend, and competitive data through natural language, producing ready-to-act assortment briefs grounded in the full business context.
Natural language queries against live POS, inventory, and sales data
Category performance briefs with margin impact analysis
SKU rationalization recommendations based on sell-through and velocity
Competitive price positioning and assortment gap detection
Omnichannel Inventory Orchestration
Balance availability, cost, and speed across every channel
Too much inventory in stores ties up capital and leads to markdowns. Too little in the DC delays ecommerce fulfillment and loses customers. Datafi connects demand signals across stores, warehouses, ecommerce, suppliers, and logistics constraints so AI agents can identify imbalances in real time, recommend transfers, prioritize replenishment, and align inventory to actual demand across every channel, producing actionable rebalancing plans rather than just dashboards.
Cross-channel inventory visibility with real-time demand signals
AI-directed store-to-store and DC-to-store transfer recommendations
Ecommerce fulfillment optimization with ship-from-store logic
Working capital release through slow-mover identification and markdown timing
Promotion & Markdown Optimization
Protect margin through every stage of the promotion lifecycle
Promotional spend is one of retail's largest investments, and one of its biggest sources of margin leakage. Most teams plan promotions with limited visibility into cannibalization, halo effects, inventory readiness, and competitive response. Datafi connects promotional calendars, POS lift data, inventory positions, margin targets, and customer segments into one context layer. AI workflows monitor performance in real time, flag underperforming campaigns, recommend markdown timing, and produce actionable optimization reports before margin loss becomes embedded.
Promotion performance monitoring with real-time lift measurement
Cannibalization and halo effect detection across categories
AI-recommended markdown timing based on sell-through velocity and margin targets
Campaign ROI reporting with next-best-action recommendations
Store Operations Intelligence
Give every store manager a command center for their location
Store managers juggle staffing, replenishment, customer traffic, sell-through, compliance, and local competitive pressure, often without timely access to the data that drives those decisions. Datafi gives every store manager superhuman ability to see their entire operation in one view: what sold today, what's running low, where staffing gaps are emerging, what traffic looks like tomorrow, and which actions to take first. AI generates prioritized morning briefs and responds to natural language questions throughout the day.
Daily operations briefs with prioritized actions for each location
Real-time out-of-stock detection with automated replenishment triggers
Staffing optimization based on traffic forecasts and sales patterns
Location-level competitive intelligence and local demand signals
Enterprise Benefits
A unified data experience for every employee in retail
When merchandising, stores, ecommerce, supply chain, and finance operate from different data and different assumptions, decisions slow down and margin leaks go unnoticed.
Datafi gives every role, from the store floor to the buying office to the boardroom, superhuman access to the full business context. Not another dashboard. Not another analyst request. A single operating system where AI reasons across the enterprise and acts inside real workflows.
Faster Merchandising Decisions
Merchants and category managers get instant access to sell-through, margin, and competitive data without waiting on central teams
Lower Inventory Costs
AI orchestrates inventory across stores, DCs, and ecommerce, freeing capital trapped in slow-moving stock and reducing markdowns
Protected Promotional Margins
Real-time promotion monitoring catches underperformance early, recommends adjustments, and optimizes markdown timing before margin erodes
Empowered Store Teams
Store managers operate with full visibility into their location: staffing, stock, traffic, and sell-through, with AI-prioritized actions every morning
The Platform
A complete stack purpose-built for retail
Every layer of the Datafi platform serves a role in turning AI from isolated experiments into enterprise-wide operational capability across merchandising, stores, ecommerce, and supply chain.
Outcomes
Speed, margin, and customer experience at enterprise scale
Transformative outcomes in retail don't come from more dashboards or another consulting engagement. They come from an operating system that connects the entire business, from merchandising to stores to ecommerce to supply chain, and gives every employee superhuman ability to find answers, make decisions, and take action. Governed, traceable, and trusted.
Faster Than Internal Builds
A vertically integrated platform replaces months of custom engineering with days to first use case. New agents and workflows build on the same foundation, compounding value instead of starting over.
Stronger Than Point Solutions
Unlike service-heavy alternatives that deliver static solutions, Datafi is a living operating system. Every new data source, agent, and workflow makes the platform smarter and more valuable.
Broader Than Copilot-Style Tools
Personal productivity tools answer questions in isolation. Datafi connects the full business context and enables AI agents that reason, act, and learn across the enterprise, from the store floor to the boardroom.
