[Delivered by a team with Claude Certified Architect – Foundations credential holders](https://ceyentra.com/services/ai-digital-transformation#certified-team) Common challenges ## Where time goes today - Staff answer the same delivery, returns and product questions every day. - Checking individual order status takes time away from other customers. - New product listings are slow to prepare from supplier information. - Reviews and complaints pile up without clear themes to act on. Possible solutions ## Five practical AI use cases for Retail Illustrative use cases.

Suggested first pilot ## A product and policy assistant for one product category. A small, scoped project to test one solution with your process before a wider investment. Example workflow Illustrative 1. Input**Shopper question** A customer asks about a product or the returns policy. 2. AI-assisted**Find approved answer** The assistant searches the approved catalogue and current policies. 3. People in control**Hand off when unsure** Questions outside scope are passed to a staff member. 4. Outcome**Answer with source** The shopper gets an answer based on your published information. ### What you provide An approved catalogue, current policies, example questions and a staff reviewer. Live order lookup is a separately scoped connection. ### How the pilot is evaluated - Answer correctness - Source accuracy - Staff time per inquiry - Unanswered questions - Correct handoff to staff ### Where people stay in control Use current prices and availability from approved systems. Never invent stock, discounts or delivery promises. Keep customer order information restricted. Scope, deliverables, fee and timing are agreed in a proposal before the pilot starts. We don't quote fixed prices or guaranteed savings before the scope is known.
