Using AI to Make Better Retail Decisions | 7Learnings Retailers today are dealing with millions of product decisions across multiple channels, while demand, pricing, and competition keep constantly shifting. The pace of change is intense, and manual decision-making just can’t keep up. 7Learnings brings a fundamentally new approach to retail steering: - Decisions are made continuously, at scale, and aligned with clear business objectives - Instead of reacting to past events, retailers can anticipate changes, adapt in real time, and operate with a level of precision that wasn’t achievable before #retail #ai #machinelearning #optimizations #retailinnovation #ecommerce #retailer #retailindustry #onlineshopping #shoponline #marketing #DynamicPricing #pricing

✍🏼 Our CEO & Co-Founder Felix Hoffmann recently contributed to Bitkom’s AI Trends in E-Commerce report. While LLMs are powerful when it comes to content and interaction, they don’t address one of the core challenges in e-commerce — making better, faster, and scalable business decisions. What is actually emerging is a different layer of AI adoption. Retailers are moving away from manual processes and rule-based systems towards solutions that combine prediction and optimisation, enabling millions of decisions across pricing, marketing, and inventory to be made in a structured, data-driven way. Some key takeaways from Felix Hoffmann: — The highest impact use cases are not content-driven, but decision-heavy (pricing, marketing spend, inventory) — True automation requires two capabilities: prediction (what will happen) and optimisation (what is the best action) — LLMs are not built for structured decision-making due to limited transparency and lack of optimisation logic — The key shift: from intuition and static rules → to mathematically optimal, scalable decisions 👇🏼Full report attached below.

Last Friday, we celebrated an important milestone — 7 years of 7Learnings 🎉 Seven years of growth, experimentation, tough decisions, and big wins. From a team of 4 to 60, from 0 to 50 customers, and three financing rounds along the way — it’s been an incredible journey since 2019. And now, with our expansion to the U.S., it truly feels like we’re just getting started again 🇺🇸 We kicked things off with welcome drinks and live piano music — atmospheric, warm, and very “us.” Then came one of the most powerful moments of the evening: Felix Hoffmann’s speech. He shared how it all started — how the idea was born at Zalando and later turned into 7Learnings, built together with Eiko van Hettinga and Martin Nowak from the ground up. He spoke about the challenges they faced, the milestones along the way, and how the company has evolved, and where we’re heading next. Honest, inspiring, and straight to the point. After that, the evening continued with great conversations, music, delicious food, and dancing well into the night. That unique team energy you simply can’t fake. And moments like this remind you: behind every company’s growth are its people. A huge thank you to our clients, partners, and investors for your trust and support — you are the reason we keep moving forward and growing stronger. And thanks Shivam Shetye for organizing such a great evening, together with the team at Musikbrauerei Berlin — what a magical place ✨ More to come 🚀
