New research projects increased sales opportunities, improvements in gross margins, and lower expenses due to AI Readiness

Greg Buzek, President IHL Group

According to the research, Macys could see as much as $3.8 billion in increased sales, $2.1 billion in improved gross margins through lower product costs, more optimized pricing, and supply chain improvements, and then reduce by $1.7 billion sales and generative administrative costs through 2029.

Our research approach was to start by looking at opportunities from an industry-level, then to the segment and specific retailer level leveraging our public and private data, said Greg Buzek, President of IHL Group. We then applied a 9-point algorithm to each company that measured items like data maturity, analytics maturity, alignment with key vendors, as well as free cash flow.

The research includes gains that can be made through traditional AI/ML technologies, Generative AI, and the potential for Artificial General Intelligence. These figures do not include any savings from reducing headcount, rather they focus on creating more efficiency and supporting growth/lower expenses through greater efficiencies only.

These figures do not consider any cost savings resulting from workforce reduction. Instead, it solely emphasizes the creation of greater efficiency to support growth and reduce expenses.

In total, each of the retailer profiles includes the following data:

Total AI Impact from 2022-2029: Combined impact from traditional AI/ML, Generative AI, and Artificial General Intelligence. Annual Impact by Income Statement Category: Gains in sales, gross margins, or lower operating costs. Total AI Readiness Score and Rankings vs Competitors: Shows competitiveness in segment and overall retail market AI Impact by Line of Business: Explore the AI potential in Merchandising/Supply Chain, Sales & Marketing, Commerce, Infrastructure, BI/Analytics, Store Systems, and other areas such as Collaboration, ERP, and Legal.
