PI Apparel Dinners
AI-Driven Retail Decision Making: Turning Data into Profits
18:00 - 21:30In today’s rapidly evolving retail landscape, data is the backbone of innovation and success. Without data, there can be no AI, and without AI, businesses risk falling behind. This dinner will explore how Centric Software’s Solutions leverages data and AI to empower brands and retailers, transforming their creative and operational processes from concept to replenishment.
Why AI? AI is reshaping the future of retail by enabling smarter, data-driven decisions across key functions such as tagging, product matching, competitive pricing, and merchandise planning. Through intelligent automation and advanced solutions, Centric’s Solutions integrates Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Planning, Market Intelligence, and Pricing to optimise every stage of the product lifecycle—from initial concept to when a product hits the shelf.
During the evening, Centric will showcase its AI innovations and how they can streamline processes, enhance operational efficiency, and deliver greater value to both retailers and consumers. By integrating AI across the entire product lifecycle, Centric Solutions helps businesses stay competitive, agile, and responsive in an increasingly data-driven world.
