Symphony RetailAI to Further Demonstrate AI’s Power at NRF 2020

Big Ideas session with Dollar General and SpartanNash will showcase AI-enabled demand forecasting; role-based solutions on the expo floor will demonstrate AI’s impact across the retail value chain


DALLAS, Dec. 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Symphony RetailAI, provider of the industry’s leading AI-enabled platform and customer-centric solutions that deliver profitable growth for retailers and CPG manufacturers, today announced its participation in NRF 2020 Vision, Retail’s Big Show, including a Big Ideas session with SpartanNash and Dollar General on Sunday, Jan. 12. Additionally, Symphony RetailAI’s booth, #5273, is a planned stop on NRF’s Artificial Intelligence Expo Tour, and the company will offer partner demos in Microsoft’s booth, #4501.

At this year’s event, Symphony RetailAI will share how retailers are achieving 2% or more revenue and profit growth through the adoption of AI-enabled, role-specific solutions that span the retail value chain. The company will showcase how it executes on its customer promise — being the easiest partner to do business with, driving profitable growth in the first year, providing the best quality and service for customer success, and delivering the lowest total cost of ownership through breakthrough AI-enabled innovation.

Attendees can engage with Symphony RetailAI at NRF 2020 in a number of ways:

From the Big Ideas stage: Discussing Dollar General and SpartanNash’s AI experience
Many software companies speak to AI capabilities, but not every company can demonstrate how its customers are benefiting from these capabilities. This session will articulate precisely how retailers are accelerating profitable revenue growth using AI-enabled demand forecasting to the tune of double-digit improvement in forecast accuracy. Move past the hype and get to the facts by attending Symphony RetailAI’s hosted Big Ideas session on Sunday, Jan. 12 from 4:00-4:30 p.m. ET on Stage 2, Level 1, Expo. In the session, “Going from hype to hyper-performance with AI demand forecasting,” Ray R. Wang, principal analyst and founder, Constellation Research Inc., will lead a high-energy discussion with SpartanNash’s Jason Burnett, VP Inventory Management, and Dollar General’s Julie Elmore, Chief Technology Officer, about the retailers’ game-changing experience with AI. Attendees will leave the session with actionable takeaways and a roadmap for achieving the same success.

On the expo floor: Symphony RetailAI’s home base, plus alongside Microsoft
In addition to in-person demos of AI-enabled solutions in Symphony RetailAI’s booth (#5273), solution experts will be on-hand in the Microsoft booth (#4501) to demonstrate how the companies are partnering to enable intelligent retail. At both booths, Symphony RetailAI will be featuring examples of tangible business impact and transformation that have been enabled by its end-to-end suite of applications including: CINDE, Sales and Customer Insights, Promotion Optimization, Personalized Marketing, Agile Merchandising and Category Planning, Fresh and Center Store Management, Intelligent Supply Chain, Demand Forecasting, and Shelf Intelligence.

Symphony RetailAI’s booth will be a dedicated stop on NRF’s official Artificial Intelligence Expo Tour.
