Grocers Wading into a Future with AI - AI Trends

#artificialintelligence

The grocery story business is beginning to use AI to try to gain a competitive edge. Salt Lake City-based Associated Food Stores (AFS), for example, has 500 stores in the western and southwestern US. It found itself dealing with a growing number of SKUs that stores managers were having difficulty tracking and prioritizing, according to an account in ChainStoreAge. AFS began using an AI solution from CB4 to analyze point of sale data, to identify when physical issues in a store are hold back sales. These could be products not easily visible and out of stock conditions.
