Transforming store opening strategies based on intuition and experience with AI—"gleasin" envisions DX in store development
We welcomed Mr. Hashimoto and Mr. Henmi from MD Co., Ltd. to discuss their market area analysis and AI sales forecasting tool, "gleasin." This service, which originated from supporting the development of medical malls, utilizes data such as census and GPS information to support the analysis of potential store locations and sales forecasting. How can store development, which has often relied on intuition and experience, be enhanced with AI and data? We will introduce a wide range of application examples in areas such as food and beverage, fitness, and amusement, as well as future prospects.
