Retail data solutions strategically modernize the data landscape for retailers using Microsoft Fabric. By offering faster time-to-market and actionable insights, we empower retailers to make informed decisions. Our accelerated approach facilitates data acquisition, organization, and analysis, enabling retailers to harness valuable insights from large volumes of data. Additionally, retailers can seamlessly leverage copilot and natural language experiences within retail data solutions.

We will be introducing several key features within retail data solutions:

• Use case templates: We will create templates for commonly used retail scenarios, such as inventory optimization, customer segmentation, and sentiment analysis. These templates encompass end-to-end capabilities, including standardized schema design, AI/ML models, and sample PowerBI reports. They are easy to set up for retailers and can be fully changed and enhanced according to retailers' preferences.

• Collaboration with partners: Simultaneously, we will be actively engaging with Independent Software Vendors and System Integrator to enable scenarios using solutions from these partners. This collaborative ecosystem will enhance and build upon the foundational capabilities of Retail Data Solutions.

The goal of this initiative is to enable retailers to improve their processes, manage their data effectively, and use insights that can inform their decisions.
