Retail Arise’s Post

The pace of retail innovation in just the last three months has been nothing short of remarkable. Before retail AI, teams had access to hourly shelf data but couldn’t realistically process the volume of information quickly enough to make fast, accurate decisions. Now, AI can surface these real time signals to help teams predict shelf needs, prevent out-of-stocks, and solve problems as they happen. 📊 In this conversation with NWA Founders, Crisp CEO and Founder Are Traasdahl shares his perspective on the current state of agentic AI in retail operations – and where it’s headed next.

Retailers outperforming in 2026 are 482% more likely to have adopted technology early. Research identified the technology pillars behind that gap. Two of them have a direct impact on store operations: AI at scale and platform modernization. AI spending in retail is growing 27% a year. But the advantage doesn't come from AI alone. The evidence is clear: to unlock its potential, AI needs a connected data foundation and processes that actually work on the store floor. That's what Frogmi builds: a unified platform where every solution is interconnected, delivering real-time visibility and the operational capacity to act on it. Not plans that stay on paper.

Retail AI just got up to 85% faster ⚡ This shift isn’t coming from better models alone. It’s coming from how they’re being used. Instead of choosing between GPT and traditional systems, retailers are starting to combine them. That’s where the real change is happening. The result is faster decisions, more flexibility, and a very different way of operating. 👉 Swipe to see what’s behind it #RetailAI #AIinRetail #RetailStrategy #ArtificialIntelligence #TotalRetail #TR
