AI – Will AI be good for Irish Retail?  Hear what Ireland’s top retailers think – On Demand

In an instant, AI leapt from the pages of science fiction into the mainstream. With an immediate impact everywhere, you may be wondering how AI will impact the independent retail sector.

In the world of Big Retail everything gets decided using data – AI is simply making those decisions faster – and better.

For independent retailers the challenge is how to implement a data strategy without the resources Big Retail have. Which data to use, how to combine sources, and knowing what counts as success are questions faced by independent retailers.

To understand what is already happening, AIB Merchant Services partnered with Galvia AI and BuyMedia to invite 20 of Ireland’s top retailers to a series of conversations led by leading retail consultant and podcaster Gordon Newman.

In this webinar, we share what these retailers told us. Register to watch this on-demand webinar to learn:

  • What Ireland’s top retailers say are the biggest challenges they face with using data
  • How Ireland’s top retailers use data to help them grow their business
  • The KPIs they use to measure success

Registration is FREE – all you need to do is click the link below to get started.
