This post is also available in: Thai

AI can be used in various ways to enhance the offline retail experience, from providing a personalized shopping experience to optimizing inventory management, automating the checkout process, and improving store security.

1. Personalization

AI can be used to analyze data such as customers’ purchase histories, preferences, and behavior to provide a personalized shopping experience. For example, retailers can use AI to recommend products that are likely to be of interest to a specific customer, offer customized discounts, or provide personalized in-store experiences.

Used case : H&M, the global fashion retailer, uses AI to analyze data from customers’ in-store purchases and online browsing history to recommend outfits and provide personalized styling advice to customers.

2.Inventory management

AI-powered inventory management systems can help retailers optimize their stock levels, reduce wastage, and improve the accuracy of their demand forecasting. This can lead to better customer satisfaction, increased sales, and reduced costs.

Used case : Walmart uses AI-powered demand forecasting to optimize its inventory levels and reduce waste. The system analyzes data from past sales, current trends, and external factors such as weather forecasts to predict demand for each product.

3.Automated checkout

AI-powered checkout systems can reduce wait times and increase efficiency by automating the checkout process. This can also reduce the need for staff to operate the checkout, freeing them up to focus on other tasks.

Used case : Amazon Go, the cashless convenience store, uses AI to automate the checkout process. Customers can simply walk in, pick up the items they want, and walk out, with the payment automatically deducted from their account.

4.In-store navigation

AI can be used to create interactive in-store maps and navigation systems to help customers find the products they are looking for. This can improve the customer experience and increase sales.


Used case : Lowe’s, the home improvement retailer, uses an AI-powered navigation system to help customers find products in its stores. The system provides interactive maps and directions to guide customers to the exact location of the products they need.

5.Predictive maintenance

AI-powered predictive maintenance systems can help retailers to identify and fix problems with their equipment before they cause downtime or other issues. This can save retailers time and money and improve the customer experience.


Used case : Target, the retail giant, uses an AI-powered predictive maintenance system to schedule maintenance for its HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. The system analyzes data from sensors installed in the HVAC systems to predict when maintenance will be required, allowing Target to schedule maintenance activities more efficiently and reduce downtime.
