In retail, the right product at the wrong time is a lost sale.
Traditional merchandising relies on static seasonal plans, often ignoring the real-time pulse of consumer demand.
Vibe Coding builds adaptive merchandising systems—multi-agent AI pipelines that listen to the market, predict needs, and rearrange offerings in sync with shifting trends.
From Inventory Lists to Living Catalogs
Static catalogs can’t react to:
- Viral product spikes.
- Sudden shifts in demand due to cultural events.
- Localized shortages or surpluses.
Vibe Coding orchestrates:
- Trend Detection Agents that monitor social signals, sales data, and competitor moves.
- Inventory Agents that check stock levels and replenishment lead times.
- Pricing Agents that dynamically adjust offers.
- Experience Agents that personalize store layout and recommendations.
