About The DataHour
Retail refers to selling in small amounts to the end consumer, and the industry is built around this method of selling. The Primary stakeholders include the ones who provide/produce/manufacture supply the goods (Suppliers), those who sell the goods (Retailers), and ultimately, the ones who purchase/consume the goods (Consumers). Secondary stakeholders include auxiliary services such as financing, transportation, packaging, advertising, distributors, wholesalers, contract manufacturing, and industry regulators. Every stakeholder can benefit from Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning applications in their respective domains within the retail industry.
Machine learning can be used to learn and implement man, material, and machine flows and behaviours. These learnings can be applied using AI implementations that automate and augment known processes to reduce redundancies, streamline business flows and ultimately drive efficiency while saving costs in a repeatable and scalable manner.
In this DataHour, Dr. Shantha will explain some use cases of AI/ML in the Retail industry. She would also be answering any questions you have on the applications of AI/ML in Retail; hence come prepared with your queries!

I am a passionate writer and avid reader who finds joy in weaving stories through the lens of data analytics and visualization. With a knack for blending creativity with numbers, I transform complex datasets into compelling narratives. Whether it's writing insightful blogs or crafting visual stories from data, I navigate both worlds with ease and enthusiasm.
A lover of both chai and coffee, I believe the right brew sparks creativity and sharpens focus—fueling my journey in the ever-evolving field of analytics. For me, every dataset holds a story, and I am always on a quest to uncover it.
Retail analytics are crucial for making marketing, and procurement decisions! Retailers need to turn to data science and retail analytics to have a real advantage during this pandemic and beyond. I feel this will be useful for retail analytics! https://www.tredence.com/industries/retail
