A Fleet of AI Tools: Empowering Retailers Beyond the Traditional Model

What was once positioned as a retail equalizer has become a system built for consolidation.
Monopolized platforms now dominate every part of the retail experience—visibility, discovery, and customer ownership.

Retailers today are trapped in a lose-lose dynamic:

• Platform Dependency: Commission rates have soared—Amazon now charges ~30% per sale (vs. 19% in 2014).

• Unsustainable Ad Spend: SEO wars and PPC campaigns require constant reinvestment just to stay discoverable.

• No Direct Relationships: Retailers have little access to customer data, hurting personalization and retention.

• Shrinking Margins: Larger brands are favored, while smaller sellers struggle to gain visibility.

• Retail Store Closures: In 2024, 12,804 UK stores shut down—averaging 35 closures per day.

Retailers don’t own their growth anymore—they rent it.
