AI Readiness Assessment for a Heritage Apparel Retailer Piloting Design and Loyalty AI
Let's Connect
Problem
Scattered pilots, no direction
A heritage denim and apparel retailer with 48 stores and a growing direct-to-consumer channel had accumulated nine disconnected AI pilots — generative design experiments in the studio, loyalty scoring trials in marketing — each run by a different team on a different vendor stack. Leadership had no shared data foundation, no ownership model, and no way to tell which pilots deserved further investment.
Solution
Scored roadmap for AI investment
We ran a six-week AI readiness assessment spanning data infrastructure, team capability, vendor contracts and governance across design, merchandising and loyalty. Every active pilot was scored on a value-versus-feasibility matrix, duplicated tooling was mapped, and we delivered a sequenced 18-month roadmap that made a unified customer data layer the first build and set clear stop decisions for the rest.
Measurable Impact
