Attending Retail Technology Show 2026? Then be sure to see SolvedBy.Ai on stand R30

At SolvedBy.Ai we provide advanced AI solutions designed to improve retail planning and operational decision-making. We help retailers forecast demand more accurately, align labour, stock, promotions and operations, and optimise resources across stores and supply chains.

We combine internal operational data with deep exogenous data intelligence to help retailers better understand the real drivers of demand and translate those insights into practical planning decisions

Turning retail forecasting into operational intelligence

Retail success depends on hundreds of decisions made every day. How many colleagues will be needed to serve demand? Where should inventory be positioned across the network? How much stock shall we order per product line? When and where to run the right promotions? And many more…

These decisions shape performance, customer experience and operational efficiency, and ultimately margins and the bottom line. Yet for many retailers, they are still made with limited visibility into how demand will actually behave.

As retail environments become more complex, predicting these changes and translating them into operational decisions has become increasingly important. We specialise in helping retailers solve this challenge through advanced AI forecasting and decision intelligence.

Understanding the real drivers of demand

Traditional and outdated forecasting models often rely heavily on historical sales data.

While historical patterns provide valuable context, they rarely capture the full set of factors that influence demand in modern retail environments. Customer behaviour is shaped by a complex set of external drivers, from promotional activity and pricing changes to weather conditions, traffic, local and national events and wider economic signals.

At SolvedBy.Ai, we combine internal operational data with deep exogenous data intelligence to identify the true drivers of demand and produce more accurate forecasts.

These forecasts operate at the level where retail decisions are actually made, by product, by store, by day and even by time interval. This level of forecasting precision allows you to understand not only what demand is likely to be, but when and where it will occur, and how to allocate resources accordingly.

Connecting demand to operational excellence

Accurate forecasts are valuable only when they inform operational action. Our solutions are designed to translate demand signals into the decisions you need to make across your operations.

These include:

· AI Demand Forecasting to predict product sales and customer activity across locations and time intervals

· AI Labour Demand Forecasting to align staffing requirements with predicted customer demand and workload

· AI Staff Scheduling to ensure the right colleagues are available at the right time to meet service and operational needs

· AI Inventory Optimisation to position stock where it is needed most, reducing stockouts and excess inventory

· AI Opening Hours Optimisation to determine the most effective trading hours for each location based on demand patterns, customer behaviour and operational cost efficiency

· AI Price Optimisation to identify optimal pricing strategies by analysing demand sensitivity, competitive positioning and external market factors

· AI Task Scheduling to prioritise and allocate in-store tasks based on expected demand, ensuring teams focus on the highest value activities at the right time

· AI Resource Allocation to deploy people, capital and operational capacity effectively across stores and regions

· AI Footfall Forecasting to anticipate store traffic levels and understand how customer flow impacts operations

“The insight from SolvedBy.Ai has fundamentally changed how we think about store opening hours. Their forecasting has streamlined our planning process, freed our teams from manual analysis, and given us the confidence to act on real opportunities. It’s faster, more accurate, and has delivered results we simply couldn’t have achieved before.” - A Director of Retail Analytics.

Turning retail data into decision ready insight

Retailers generate vast volumes of operational data across stores, supply chains and customer interactions. However, transforming that data into actionable planning insight remains a major challenge.

We apply the world’s largest library of forecasting algorithms; our engines continuously evaluate hundreds of models to ensure the most accurate approach is applied to each forecasting scenario every time it runs.

By combining advanced modelling with deep external demand signals, you gain forecasts that are highly granular, continuously improving and directly usable within your planning workflows. This allows your teams to anticipate operational pressure earlier and make more informed decisions about staffing, inventory and store operations.

Delivering measurable results

SolvedBy.Ai takes a commercially accountable approach to AI deployment. Engagements typically begin with a focused proof of concept that targets a specific operational decision, using real business data and clearly defined success metrics. This approach allows you to measure forecasting improvements and operational impact before scaling AI capabilities more broadly across your organisation.

What retailers will see on the SolvedBy.Ai stand R30

On the stand, you will understand how AI models incorporate external demand drivers such as weather, promotions and local events, and how these signals can translate into practical operational decisions and improve forecasting accuracy.

You’ll see how improved demand forecasting can help align labour planning, inventory positioning and store operations with expected customer demand. SolvedBy.Ai helps you turn forecasting into operational intelligence and a competitive edge.
