"comply with ESG and regulatory requirements, and protect their bottom line"

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, which are key factors investors consider when evaluating how sustainable and responsible a company is. It involves assessing how a company manages its impact on the environment, treats its employees and communities, and operates transparently and ethically. Investors use ESG criteria to identify businesses that align with their values and have the potential for long-term success.

ai digital assistant technical

"Planned AI digital assistant capabilities are being developed to enable retailers"

An AI digital assistant is a software agent powered by artificial intelligence that performs routine tasks such as answering questions, sorting information, automating workflows, and analyzing data on behalf of users. For investors, it matters because these assistants can lower operating costs, speed customer service, improve decision-making by surfacing relevant data, and create competitive advantages — like a smart personal aide that scales across a business while also introducing new technology and regulatory risks to monitor.

apis technical

"This one-way integration leverages MFCS APIs to retrieve items"

APIs are sets of rules that let different software systems talk to each other, like standardized doorways that let apps, data services and websites exchange information without needing to be rebuilt each time. For investors, APIs matter because they speed product development, enable digital partnerships and data feeds, create new revenue or cost savings, and introduce operational or security dependencies that can affect growth and risk.

sku technical

"creation of product records at the style or SKU level-based items"

A SKU (stock keeping unit) is a unique code a company assigns to a specific product variant—think of it as a product’s name tag that distinguishes size, color, model or packaging. Investors use SKUs to track which items sell, how fast inventory turns, and where profit comes from, so they reveal customer demand, supply-chain efficiency and revenue drivers much like each item in a supermarket tells the store which shelves are performing.

New cloud solution empowers retailers to boost resilience and productivity through intelligent collaboration, compliance, and streamlined operations

NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NRF 2026: Retail's Big Show -- Oracle today unveiled Oracle Retail Supply Chain Collaboration. The new cloud solution enables retailers to more easily navigate an increasingly unpredictable and complex supplier landscape to enhance operational oversight, efficiency, vendor coordination, and compliance to help protect margins and customer satisfaction.

The solution helps address supply chain risk by delivering actionable, data-driven insights that improve forecast accuracy and alert retailers to pending supply chain disruptions, such as, shifts in consumer demands or regulatory changes that could disrupt and delay inventory shipments. Within the system, retailers can issue urgent notifications to inform users of changes, expectations, and needed activities and also signal suppliers to expedite next step actions and acknowledgments.

Integrated with Oracle Retail Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service (MFCS), the solution empowers retailers to collaborate directly with suppliers to assess sites, production facilities, and other critical measures to enable a thorough pre-selection and ongoing review process. By doing so, retailers can simplify their merchandising operations utilizing a unified portal to access and analyze valuable supplier data and foster more efficient, effective merchandising strategies.

See the solution in action at NRF, booth #5739, January 11-13 in New York. Book a demo or learn more at: https://engage.oracle.com/oracleatnrf

"From natural disasters to shifting global trade conditions, retailers are in a constant battle to better balance their supply chains to meet customer expectations, comply with ESG and regulatory requirements, and protect their bottom line," said Paul Woodward, global vice president, Oracle Retail Products. "This solution gives retailers the AI-and data-driven visibility and intelligence needed to navigate complex supply chain and vendor relationships to help mitigate financial, operational, and reputational risks."

Enhanced supplier coordination and compliance

With Oracle Retail Supply Chain Collaboration, retailers can more confidently manage their merchandising operations at a global scale by aligning practices with business objectives, compliance standards, and sustainability goals - from the pre-selection process through order fulfilment. Categorized activity lists help both retailer and suppliers easily organize and filter process activities by status and responsibility while assignment list views offer quick actions for updating process, activity, site, and document statuses directly to streamline workflow management and improve productivity. Retailers can also customize audit notifications to deliver more targeted, manageable communications. Planned AI digital assistant capabilities are being developed to enable retailers to reduce hassle and save time by using simple prompts to find and summarize key supplier information. In addition, the direct integration of supplier sites from Oracle Retail Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service with Supply Chain Collaboration enables the automatic creation of product records at the style or SKU level-based items. This one-way integration leverages MFCS APIs to retrieve items and create or update product records using supplier and item codes as common identifiers to streamline product data synchronization.

Other core benefits of the solution enable retailers to:

• Data Sharing and Collaboration: Share practices, policies, and critical information with suppliers, fostering transparency and better coordination
• Sustainability and Compliance: Collect sustainability certifications, quality assurances, and compliance audits and assessments to make more informed decisions and maintain high standards
• Evaluation and Pre-selection: Evaluate, score, and grade items to pre-select and continuously monitor suppliers, supporting ongoing compliance
• Streamline Merchandising: Delegate specific responsibilities to suppliers and share data through a centralized portal to improve merchandising operations and efficiency
• Contextual Workflows: Create, review, and approve essential merchandising data using contextual workflows, offering a structured and organized process
