How Retail Innovators Are Using Continuum AI to Transform Data into Profits in 2025

How Retail Leaders Are Using AI in 2025 to Turn Consumer Data into Profits with Continuum AI

Retailers in 2025 have more data than ever – but without the right strategy, it’s more of an expensive burden than an asset.
Gartner reports that poor data quality costs companies an average of $15 million annually, eroding trust and hurting performance.

The solution? A new wave of retail innovation powered by AI—where Continuum AI enables retailers to transform messy, fragmented information into clear actions and measurable profit.

Retail Data Overload: Why Fragmented Systems Hurt Profitability in 2025

Retailers generate oceans of data from POS systems, e-commerce platforms, and loyalty programs. Yet most of it sits unused—trapped in silos, misaligned dashboards, and legacy platforms.

Gartner warns that poor data quality contributes to a “crisis in information trust,” directly impacting profitability.

At the same time, customers expect personalized experiences. According to Salesforce, most consumers are willing to share data if it results in better service. McKinsey reports that 72% of shoppers expect brands to know their preferences and treat them as individuals.

This creates both pressure and opportunity. Retailers must evolve from “big data” to smart, actionable data—and that’s where Continuum AI comes in.
