The firm's resource walks retail industry IT leaders through seven steps to develop AI strategies that optimize stock levels, streamline operations, and respond faster to market changes. TORONTO, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Inventory has become one of retail's most expensive guessing games. As customer expectations evolve faster than supply chains can respond, retailers are often stuck choosing between empty shelves and excess stock, both of which erode margins. In response to these growing industry challenges for organizations and their IT teams, Info-Tech Research Group has published Build Your AI Strategy for Retail Inventory Management, a practical blueprint that helps retailers transition from outdated inventory methods to intelligent, data-driven operations. The global research and advisory firm's new resource outlines how industry IT leaders can apply AI to improve forecasting, optimize stock levels, and deliver measurable performance gains. Adoption Challenges Are Slowing AI Integration in Retail Inventory Systems Info-Tech reports in its recently published resource that despite the clear benefits of AI in transforming retail inventory management, many organizations face significant challenges in adoption. The firm's research insights highlight that aligning the business stakeholders to develop a cohesive AI strategy remains a common hurdle, especially when it involves addressing existing inventory limitations and identifying critical gaps. Additionally, realizing AI's full potential often requires mature data infrastructure and advanced system capabilities that not all retailers have in place. 'Inventory management applications that are AI-driven can deliver where traditional inventory management falls short,' says Donnafay MacDonald, research director at Info-Tech Research Group.

The blueprint outlines seven key steps to guide retail IT leaders in developing and executing an AI strategy tailored to their inventory needs. These include: Formulating an AI strategy aligned to business goals. Define how AI will drive key objectives such as boosting customer satisfaction, cutting costs, or increasing agility and set clear success metrics. Establishing responsible AI principles. Put ethical, privacy, and governance guardrails in place to ensure transparent, fair, and secure AI solutions. Launching targeted AI initiatives. Start with pilots such as demand forecasting or automated replenishment to prove value and build momentum. Building a use case library. Catalog specific applications such as dynamic pricing or shelf space optimization with defined benefits, data needs, and technical requirements. Evaluating value and feasibility. Estimate ROI, resource demands, and risks for each use case to spotlight quick wins and flag longer term projects. Prioritizing projects. Rank initiatives by impact, effort, and risk so teams invest where they will see the fastest, biggest returns. Mapping out an AI roadmap. Sequence pilots and rollouts with clear milestones for data readiness, model validation, and performance reviews. InfoTech advises that by addressing longstanding challenges in inventory management, retailers have an opportunity to adopt smarter, more resilient systems that reflect the realities of today's retail environment. With competitors already incorporating AI into their everyday operations, the pressure to evolve is intensifying for IT leaders. The firm's blueprint provides retailers with straightforward, actionable guidance to implement AI in a way that supports business goals without adding unnecessary complexity.
