Day 3 @ NRF | Burning Questions
& Key Takeaways

Cognira at NRF 2022
And just like that…we wrap up the NRF 2022 blog series with our day 3 recap! It was a pleasure to attend retail’s big show and meet with retailers, vendors, and industry experts to discuss important conversations surrounding retail and technology.

In today’s blog, discover what questions we received from retailers and any important takeaways from the event.

Burning Questions @ NRF

Like we mentioned in the day 1 recap, our main objective at NRF 2022 was to focus on our AI Promotion Solution. We had the opportunity to meet with various retailers across the globe, all with very similar (but important) questions.

Here are a few to list:
Does your solution work for both brick-and-mortar and online promotions?
We recognize the push for retailers to have an omnichannel experience embedded into their customers journey. Our solution supports both online and in-store promotions.
Can your solution handle targeted promotions in addition to mass promotions?
Our single platform solution is equipped to create all types of promotions– simple or complex, personalized and targeted promotions.
Do you integrate with our supply chain — Replenishment
Yes, our solution is fully integrated into both upstream and downstream processes.
Does your software do the execution of promotions?
We do not do executions. Our solution is used for management, analysis, creation and optimization of promotions. Once a promotion has been created it is shipped for execution. We are fully integrated into execution systems, making this process automated and seamless.
How long does it take to get a forecast on a promotion being planned?
A forecast is provided in near-real time while planning and creating a promotion. Our near-real time forecast drives what-if simulations that allows the user to optimize the promotional attributes to meet their desired goals.
