AI for Merchandisers
You learn what these tools can and cannot do on real order data, how to work with one daily, and what to ask before buying any of it.
After this track you can
You can use an assistant on your own order data without taking its word for anything, tell a real capability from a demonstration, and set the rules under which your team is allowed to act on what it says.

- 15.1What AI Can and Cannot Do in a FactoryFoundation7 lessons · 1 h 50 minOne factory measured these systems on its own documents for a month and wrote down every result. You see the kinds of task they did well, and the kind of question no system can ever answer. And you do the arithmetic that shows an almost-right answer costing more than doing the work by hand. Every figure here is that factory's own measurement.
- 15.2Working With AI Day to Day: What It Saves, and What Checking It CostsPractitioner11 lessons · 2 h 20 minYou take six weeks of one merchandising desk's own logged use, task by task. You see what was given to the assistant, what it took to check what came back, and the honest net. Two tasks come out negative and are retired. The arithmetic decides, not the enthusiasm.
- 15.3AI on Your Order Data: Extraction, Matching and the Count UnderneathPractitioner7 lessons · 2 hYou take one purchase order, one amendment nobody saw, and the arithmetic under four jobs a machine now does on a factory's paperwork: reading it, scoring what it read, matching it to a delivery, and sorting what arrives. Every figure here is that factory's own measurement on its own documents, and the course says so on the page.
- 15.4Agents in the Merchandising Workflow: Where the Approval Boundary FallsAdvanced6 lessons · 2 hYou take one merchandising desk, nine action types, and one line drawn through them. You work out what a wrong autonomous action really costs, and why the undo button answers almost none of the question. You see why the safest-looking action on the list belongs to a human. And you learn to price an approval instead of arguing about it.
- 15.5Governance, Risk and Buying AIAdvanced6 lessons · 1 h 50 minYou take one factory's year of governing the systems it never bought. You build a register of what is already in use, whose data goes into it, and who carries a wrong answer out of it. You learn what a supplier agreement must say about ownership and error. Then you design an acceptance test on your own documents, with the threshold written down before the trial.
