Centric Planning & Pricing™ connects planning decisions to execution across the business.

"Centric Planning & Pricing gives apparel companies like Levi Strauss & Co. the AI-powered visibility to connect planning decisions to the business," says Shane Hanna. "By bringing merchandise financial planning, demand planning, assortment planning and store clustering together, teams can build stronger assortment strategies, align global direction with local execution, improve visibility across markets and respond faster to changing consumer demand."

"NRF 2026 APAC is an important opportunity to speak with retail leaders about where AI can make a measurable difference," says Jason Lee. "The focus is not AI for hype's sake. It is about applying AI to decisions and embedding AI into already existing team workflows that shape sales performance, operational efficiency and growth."
