EMEA 8 September | 9 AM BST

Retail teams are under pressure to make better decisions, faster, across merchandising, store operations and demand planning. McKinsey reports that AI-driven forecasting can reduce supply-chain forecast errors by 20% to 50% and cut lost sales and product unavailability by up to 65%. 

In this 45-minute Databricks webinar, you’ll hear how AI is reshaping retail, consumer goods and travel, and see how data teams can help the business move from slow, siloed analysis to faster, governed decision-making. You’ll also see how Databricks Genie gives business users natural-language access to trusted data, so teams can answer complex questions without waiting in an analyst queue or writing SQL.

You'll learn:

  • What’s changing in retail and why AI is resetting expectations for speed, precision and execution
  • How retail data teams can support smarter merchandising and better store operations with governed, unified data
  • How Genie helps teams ask questions in natural language and get faster answers on inventory, demand, customer behavior and operational performance
  • What practical business-user experiences look like for merchandising and store operations teams
