What AI found in one shop’s sales file
I have been testing the newly announced newsXpress AI business performance analysis service with a few different shops and it is fascinating what it discovers, that the retailers love.
In each case, the retailer invested a few minutes to run a report and answer a couple of quick questions. The skilled and carefully prompted AI did the rest of the work.
What the retailer got back was immediately actionable, quickly money making.
One retailer found a new product category they had never considered, something they can trial for monomial cost but that, if it works as expected will be a game changer, that’s what they called it, a game changer.
Another retailer retail was direct: this is the kick up the arse I needed.
Another retailer didn’t believe the insights and advice. Two days later they came back saying they had done their own research and \had to apologise because the report was right. How could it know?, they asked. That’s the secret sauce here – discovering the unknown about local retail businesses and helping them make good decisions quickly.
Another retailer was amazed at the ToDo list. This would have taken me days to research and put together. That was weeks ago. The made half the changes and are already making more money as a result.
These are true stories that have come from the AI services that newsXpress is now offering to other retailers, not just newsagents.
This has changed how I see my business was the response from the most skeptical retailer we worked with. They thought AI was a gimmick and only became involved in the trial reluctantly..
None of this is magic, and none of it required new software. The numbers were sitting in the POS all along, the way they are sitting in yours right now. Every shop’s system quietly records what sells, when, at what margin, alongside what does not sell at all. What has been missing is not the data. It is the time and the tools to ask the data anything useful. AI has made the asking fast and cheap, if you know how to ask.
Teaching retailers how to ask is exactly what the AI training packs do, on your data, live and one on one. The snapshot is the free taste of it.
The offer stands this month: send a sales extract from your POS, any POS, and one page comes back showing what AI can see in your numbers. No charge, no obligation, and most owners are surprised by something on the page.
