Inflation Around the Globe
Food, Energy and transportation led record inflation in
all regions.
• IMF projected inflation to reach 6.6
percent this year in advanced
economies and 9.5 percent in
emerging market and developing
economies
• Upward revisions of 0.9 and 0.8
percentage points respectively from
three months earlier.

Predictions for 2023
1. Last Mile Optimization
Last Mile Optimization: From “Real-time” to Right Time
Balancing customer needs with resource availability to
improve profitability
• Consumers have demand faster
options for delivery.
• Retailers have been buying market
share by subsidizing delivery.
But…
• Retailers often lose money on delivery
from stores due to labor inefficiencies.

Predictions for 2023
1. Last Mile Optimization
2. Generative AI for personalization
Prediction #2: Generative AI in Consumer Engagement
Remember our friend?
* Still not a selfie
Generative AI for Images
Image generation quality is dependent on breadth and
accuracy of training data.
Thousands or millions Images are
annotated to define features (color, width,
style, shapes, face, pieces of clothing)
Models are trained with images and the
additional context.
This enables computers to automatically
recognize images.
Additional training enables creation, with
feedback when creation is accurate.

2. Start labeling by using an automated labeling system such as Labelbox.
3. Generate immediate wins with image search, personalization.
4. Work long-term towards image generation.
Predictions for 2023
1. Last Mile Optimization
2. Generative AI for personalization
3. Composable CDPs
Prediction: Composable CDPs
Adoption of Composable CDP brings best of breed with
integration flexibility and scale.
• Retailers are using this downturn to
invest in consumer engagement to
drive stronger marketing ROI and
capture market share.
• Composable CDPs are foundational to
Retail Media Networks.
Wat’s driving the change?
• 75% of CDP customers expect 5x or
But higher ROI, and most see a positive
ROI in the first year of adoption.
(Twilio)
• • Two top-reported CDP benefits
include a unified customer view (88%)
and analytics (54%). (CDP Institute)
What’s Driving Customer Data Platforms
• Drive stronger loyalty &
lower CAC
• Improve incrementality
• Efficiency across
multiple promotion
channels
• Desire to monetize
customer engagement

2. Leverage machine learning for customer entity resolution
3. Use a Composable CDP approach to maximize scale, accuracy and
flexibility.
Predictions for 2023
1. Last Mile Optimization
2. Generative AI for personalization
3. Composable CDPs
4. Peer-to-peer secure data collaboration
Prediction: Peer-to-Peer Secure Data Sharing
Why is it attractive?
• Improved collaboration around data can reduce response times by days.
• Enables person to person collaboration, even across companies.
• The value in data monetization is action, not licensing.
But…
• Data marketplaces only enable broadcast of common data sets.
• Existing data sharing requires costly data warehouse licenses or forces companies to
choose the same technology.
Data Sharing is No Longer Expensive or Exclusive
• Delta Sharing is open
source
• Works across all clouds
or on-premise.
• Enables users to
consume data from
Excel, Tableau, web and
other data systems.

Real-time Data Sharing in Excel
Love it or hate it, Excel is the most popular data tool used by
end users. Exponam has built a plug-in for Excel that allows
users to pull data in directly from Delta Sharing repositories to
update their local analysis.
How to Prepare for Data Sharing
Data sharing is no longer expensive or exclusive.
Delta Sharing
1. Centralize your data in one location to manage permissions.
2. Leverage OSS Delta Sharing or Databricks (with Delta Sharing pre-configured).
3. Share secure links to partners.
Predictions for 2023
1. Last Mile Optimization
2. Generative AI for personalization
3. Composable CDPs
4. Peer-to-peer secure data collaboration
5. Localized Large Language Models
Prediction: Narrow Large Language Models
Why is it attractive?
• Taps into rich product, chat and call center transcripts to provide retailer specificity.
• Cost to train models is rapidly falling.
• Reduce customer service cost/time while improving quality.
• Powers AI chat bots
• Streamline new message creation for new purchases
Authoritative but not Accurate
ChatGPT sounds confident, even when it’s wrong.
ChatGPT is still too costly
• Some estimates that ChatGPT cost
$14M to train.
• Data used to train ChatGPT was over 1
year old.
Cost to Perform Training is Decreasing
Localized Industry LLMs are appearing
• Startups are training LLMs against
narrow sets of information
• Provides much higher accuracy and
less likelihood of false positives
How to Prepare
Delta Sharing
1. Bring all structured and unstructured information into the Lakehouse, including call
center audio, transcripts, online reviews, product information and more.
2. Monitor the environment for retail specific OEMs focusing on narrow LLMs.
3. Start small scale projects

Editor's Notes

  1. Today we are here to talk about the Lakehouse for Retail, but before we jump into that, I would love to take a step back and talk about what is happening in the retail and consumer goods industries
  2. In one interesting study, they looked at the price increases in desserts across several tropical islands. In US dollars, they found that the average price of a slice of coconut cream pie in Jamaica had increased to $1.30. In Puerto Rico, that same slice was 1.92. And in the Bahamas, that same slice was over three dollars at $3.02. So when you go back home to your kids, you can tell them.
  3. What are the innovations that we expect to see over the next several years in retail? And what’s realistic today? While we think there are many new and unimagined innovations that AI will bring to retail, the reality is that AI is delivering incredible benefits to retail today. Fine grained personalization and forecasting refreshed frequently are delivering much higher accuracy for retailers today. This is leading to substantial cost savings and revenue growth. Retailers are keen to respond to COVID and know when to ship products, schedule staff and more. We’re seeing retailers leverage alternative data sets to predict foot traffic for the coming days, and optimize activities accordingly In the next 12 months, we expect to see the next wave of innovation move from piloting to widespread adoption. Possibly the most exciting trend is the adoption of unified forecasting services. Companies previously forecasted separately for commercial, supply chain and finance divisions, and then brought this together in a clunky format. They’re now using The biggest driver of investment in retail over the next 12 months will be in reducing the cost to serve e-commerce. Robotic curbside pickup, using AI to reduce returns, and even instituting new ways of handling returns will all start appearing as retailers seek to improve profitability in the digital channel. In 1-3 years, companies will advance and begin to introduce capabilities that redefine their business around AI. We’re seeing experimentation around this now, but these are the types of capabilities that require years of development. Apparel retailers will move from match the look, where you upload your favorite photo to an apparel site and it makes suggestions to you, to the ability to show what clothing will look like on your body. Using generative adversarial networks (similar to computer graphics in movies), web sites and apps will be able to take photos and videos of customers and render clothing on them. Grab and go stores will start to see adoption as 5G networks come into effect and reduce the cost of cabling. And we predict that we’ll see the first few drone delivery pilots launch in major cities. And by 2025, we should see innovations that fundamentally change the industry. Customers will treat retail as a subscription service, leaving much of their routine ordering to the retailers. Retailers will build smart algorithms that learn and anticipate needs, and automatically replenish items in a customers home. And by 2025, we expect to see drone delivery in widespread usage.
