Ask Your Retail Data Anything: Meet ShopSense AI

Locally · September 30, 2026

ShopSense, Locally’s intelligence product, gives brands visibility into what’s happening across their retail network – including on-hand inventory, sell-through and shopper demand. Now, ShopSense AI makes that data easier to explore, understand and act on.

Not everyone wants to start with a dashboard. Instead of navigating reports or building filters, users can simply ask ShopSense AI a question:

  • What does this account have on hand right now?
  • What recently sold out – and what should they reorder?
  • How is this retailer performing compared to last season?
  • Which products are gaining momentum?

ShopSense AI works through those questions using the same retail data already powering ShopSense and returns an answer in seconds.

While the user experience is simple, the analysis is sophisticated. ShopSense AI can distinguish same-store performance from growth driven by new accounts, identify what’s driving a sales trend, turn inventory and sell-through signals into specific reorder opportunities, and more. It functions like a skilled retail data analyst, helping teams move from “what happened?” to “why did it happen?” and “what should we do next?”

Put your retail data to work across your team

ShopSense AI puts sophisticated retail analysis in reach of more people across an organization, regardless of how comfortable they are working with analytics tools.

Sales teams can prep for retailer meetings, understand account performance and identify potential reorder opportunities.

Merchandising and planning teams can see what’s selling, what’s sitting and how products or collections are trending over time.

Marketing and e-commerce teams can understand where shopper demand and local inventory line up – or identify inventory that could benefit from an additional push.

And leadership and analytics teams can compare performance across retailers, regions, products and seasons or quickly generate executive-level summaries.

Built on the ShopSense data you already use

ShopSense AI follows the same access controls as ShopSense. Users only have access to the brands, retailers and accounts they’re authorized to see, including the ability to limit sales reps to their assigned territories.

And because it works from the same underlying ShopSense dataset, teams can use whichever experience fits the task: conversational analysis when they want an answer quickly, or the full dashboard and API when they want to work directly with the data.

Your retail data - on demand

Whether you’re preparing for an account meeting, looking for your next reorder opportunity or trying to understand what changed across your retail network this quarter, ask ShopSense AI.
