It also reinforces Fusemachines' growing momentum in helping leading retailers transform core business operations through practical enterprise AI deployments.
"AI is fundamentally changing how retailers plan demand, manage inventory, and make pricing decisions," said Dr. Sameer Maskey, Founder and CEO of Fusemachines. "The expansion of this long-term collaboration reflects the value AI can create when embedded into critical business processes. We also see significant opportunities to build on these successful AI deployments with agentic AI capabilities that can proactively monitor business conditions, recommend actions, and automate portions of planning, merchandising, and pricing workflows."
