We partnered with a large retail client that was facing challenges with demand forecasting and store operations. Store managers were relying on manual reports, which made it hard to react quickly to stock issues and changing customer demand.
My role was to bring together product, engineering, and operations teams to design a more intelligent and real-time solution. We built an AI-powered operations assistant that combines demand forecasting, anomaly detection, and a conversational interface so managers can easily ask questions and take action.
One key decision I made was to focus on usability, not just accuracy. We introduced a simple dashboard and chat-based interface that integrates directly into daily workflows, along with automated replenishment suggestions.
We also ensured the system could scale across thousands of stores with real-time data pipelines and cloud infrastructure.
As a result, the client reduced stockouts by 35%, lowered operational costs by 20%, and enabled real-time decision-making across 1,800+ stores, improving both efficiency and user adoption.
