As retail complexity grows due to shifting consumer behavior, supply chain volatility from tariffs and rising costs, merchandise planning is under renewed scrutiny. Yet the challenge remains the same: getting the right product to the right place at the right time without over-investing in inventory.

In this session, invent.ai CEO Gurhan Kok will be joined by Tailored Brands President John Tighe to explore how Agentic AI is changing the planning process by enabling real-time, goal-driven decisions. Unlike traditional analytics, Agentic AI goes beyond decision support by making autonomous decisions that adapt to business objectives and changing market conditions.

The discussion will include real-world examples from Tailored Brands, Alo Yoga, and Famous Footwear, showing how retailers are using Agentic AI to rebalance assortments, respond faster to demand, and improve merchandise return on investment.
