The Agentic Retail Enterprise: What Tredence Is Bringing to NRF 2026

At NRF 2026, Tredence unveils how retail intelligence is modernized using Agentic AI. The shift enables the transition of insights into autonomous decisions across the retail value chain spanning supply chain, pricing, inventory, merchandising and customer experience.  Modern retail needs intelligence that is always on, contextual and operates at the speed of the customer. This is the era of the agentic retail enterprise, and this is the context Tredence brings to NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show.

Why does Agentic Retail Intelligence Matter Now?

Tredence drives the data and AI strategies for 8 of the world’s top 10 global retailers. While these enterprises scale through modern data foundations, the next leap of accelerating decision velocity still remains across critical retail operations, dynamic customer demands and a volatile retail market.

Agentic intelligence addresses the gap by unifying data, advanced AI/ML and retail decision intelligence into a single operating fabric. These agentic systems are capable of sensing disruption, reasoning with context, and triggering actions in real-time, without impacting organizational operations.  

As a result, retail enterprise data is turned into a living decision system, continuously adapting, aligning with leadership intent and driving measurable impact.
