Digital Wave Technology will address the challenges that grocers face in AI implementations at an FMItech breakout session, “The Data ‘Hairball’ Thwarting AI in Retail.” The panel discussion will focus on how retailers and technology providers are creating unified data foundations to develop and deploy new AI capabilities.

With its robust Master Data Management core and native AI capabilities, the platform delivers:

  • Accurate, actionable insights: Real-time visibility into operations ensures that teams can make informed decisions quickly.
  • Enhanced operational efficiency: Automation reduces manual work, streamlines processes, and minimizes errors.
  • Localized precision: Tailor assortments and promotions to meet the unique needs of a retailer’s customer base.
  • Future-proof capabilities: Native AI allows grocers to adapt to emerging trends and market shifts, keeping them ahead of the competition.

“By adopting Digital Wave Technology’s ONE™ Platform, grocery retailers can overcome the limitations of disconnected systems and unlock the full potential of their data,” said Lori Schafer, CEO, Digital Wave Technology. “Whether it’s improving time to market, strengthening customer loyalty, or staying competitive in an ever-changing market, the ONE™ Platform empowers grocery leaders to thrive.”
