Italian retailers PittaRosso and Scarpe&Scarpe deploy Impact Analytics MondaySmart generative AI solution

Impact Analytics has partnered with Italian shoe retailers, PittaRosso and Scarpe&Scarpe, to implement generative AI solutions. The two brands operate approximately 300 retail locations under both nameplates along with two e-commerce sites.

Through the tie up, they will implement MondaySmart, a GenAI solution from Impact Analytics. This provides AI native business intelligence for retail executives.

“With a combined portfolio of nearly 300 stores, it is critical that we optimise our clusters to ensure that we meet our customers’ high expectations,” says Valentina Labate, Head of Merchandise Planning & Allocation at PittaRosso and Scarpe&Scarpe. “Partnering with Impact Analytics will help us harness the power of our data and their AI and GenAI to position us for future growth.”

“We’re honoured to support PittaRosso and Scarpe&Scarpe, and help improve their operational efficiency with our cutting edge Gen AI tool, MondaySmart,” says Prashant Agrawal, Founder and CEO at Impact Analytics. 

“As a category, footwear can be very challenging to stock properly regardless of whether that’s in-store or online. For more than a decade, we have empowered retailers to proactively address their business challenges with our AI native solutions. MondaySmart’s GenAI empowers retail executives to harness the power within their data to enhance productivity and make smarter business decisions that improve profitability.”
