Make Smarter Retail Decisions with inmydata Copilot: Conversational Analytics That Thinks Like You Do

Discover how inmydata Copilot transforms retail analytics with AI-powered conversational intelligence, enabling faster, smarter business decisions.

Retail moves fast. Decisions that once took weeks now need to happen in hours. The difference between thriving and struggling often comes down to how quickly you can understand what’s happening in your business and act on it.

The Problem with Traditional Analytics

Most retail analytics tools were designed for analysts, not operators. They require you to know what question to ask, which dashboard to open, and how to interpret complex visualisations. For busy retail managers, this creates friction. Insights exist, but accessing them takes too long.

Meanwhile, the data keeps growing. POS transactions, inventory levels, supplier performance, customer behaviour, web traffic. It’s all there, but synthesising it into actionable intelligence remains a challenge.

What inmydata Copilot Does Differently

inmydata Copilot brings conversational AI to retail analytics. Instead of navigating dashboards, you simply ask:

  • “How did we perform last weekend compared to the same period last year?”
  • “Which stores are underperforming on margin this month?”
  • “What products should I reorder this week based on current sell-through?”

Copilot understands your business context. It knows your categories, your stores, your seasons. It translates natural language into precise queries across your data and returns answers in seconds.

Built for Retail Reality

We designed Copilot specifically for retail operations. It handles the nuances that generic AI tools miss:

  • Year-over-year comparisons that account for calendar shifts and trading day differences
  • Like-for-like analysis that excludes new stores or format changes
  • Stock and sales integration that connects inventory decisions to commercial performance

The result is analytics that thinks like a retail professional, not a data scientist.

Secure by Design

Retail data is sensitive. Copilot operates within enterprise-grade security frameworks, with role-based access control ensuring that users see only what they’re authorised to see. Your data stays yours.

From Insight to Action

The goal isn’t to replace human judgement. It’s to accelerate it. When managers can get answers instantly, they make better decisions more often. Copilot turns data into a competitive advantage, not a bottleneck.

If you’re ready to move faster, we’d love to show you how.
