DALLAS, March 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Symphony RetailAI, a leading global provider of integrated AI-powered marketing, merchandising and supply chain solutions for FMCG retailers and manufacturers, today announced that it was recognized as a representative vendor in Gartner’s 2021 Market Guide for Retail Forecasting and Replenishment Solutions.
According to Gartner, “…forecasting and replenishment technology providers continue to evolve their advanced analytical and science capabilities, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). As AI and ML become more prevalent in technology providers’ talk tracks, retailers should use the following criteria to assess and validate a technology provider’s capabilities:
- Process large sets of structured and unstructured data, such as social media comments
- Perform setup and maintenance with limited human intervention needed
- Identify interdependencies within the dataset
- Propose real-time recommendations, decisions or dynamic changes to the plan
- Enhance decision making by making data available to augment and/or automate planning decisions more quickly”
