Bamboo Rose, a prominent provider of AI-driven product lifecycle management solutions, is set to unveil its groundbreaking "Decision Intelligence" platform at the NRF 2026 Retail's Big Show. This innovation promises to reshape retail operations by integrating artificial intelligence throughout the entire product development and supply chain process.
Revolutionizing Retail Operations
The retail industry faces unprecedented challenges from shifting consumer preferences, global supply chain complexities, and intense competition. Bamboo Rose's solution addresses these pressures through its TotalPLM™ platform, which serves as the foundation for its new Decision Intelligence capabilities.
"AI is no longer a strategic advantage; it's a business imperative," said Rupert Schiessl, Chief AI and Strategy Officer at Bamboo Rose. "Our technology empowers retailers to make data-driven decisions at every stage of the product lifecycle."
