"Tulip is about enabling conversations, connections, and personal friendships between real humans, in this case between store associates and shoppers," said Ali Asaria, Founder & CEO of Tulip. "Every day, Tulip collects millions of data points around omnichannel shopper behavior.

Key Google Cloud products Tulip will leverage include:

• Google BigQuery for in-store retail analytics to identify trends and gain insights related to customer behavior, associate activity, store operations, and in-store sales.
• Google Cloud Machine Learning Engine to build machine learning models and prediction services to drive behavioral recommendations for store associates and managers.
• Google Kubernetes Engine for rapid application development, management of containers and easy deployment of applications and services.
