Summary

Increasingly easy access to data and agentic AI have changed the way merchandise planners make decisions about product allocation, demand shifts, store assortments and virtually every aspect of merchandising. But the gap between secure, defensible decision-making and AI-generated recommendations is wide.

Planners are already working through shifting consumer demand, pricing pressures, inventory constraints, and disconnected planning processes.

Join us for an interactive discussion on how leading retailers are using AI to transform merchandising. We'll explore today's biggest merchandising challenges — from forecasting and assortment to allocation, pricing, and scenario planning — as well as the practical applications of AI to help planners make smarter decisions, faster.

You'll learn:

  • Where retailers are leaning into AI for the greatest impact to their business.
  • Why historical sales data is no longer enough for effective merchandise planning.
  • How continuous planning helps teams respond faster to changing market conditions.
  • How AI-powered insights and recommended actions help merchandisers anticipate change, evaluate scenarios, and make better decisions with confidence.
  • Whether you're exploring AI or advancing your merchandising strategy, you'll leave with practical insights into how Board is helping retailers unify planning, accelerate decision-making, and drive profitable growth.
