Sam's Club & C&A Lead Retail Revolution with AI and Tech
Sam's Club, a leading membership-based retailer, is transforming its business model with a focus on delivering a high-quality, curated shopping experience powered by AI technology. Meanwhile, Brazilian fashion retailer C&A is embracing artificial intelligence (AI) to drive its own retail revolution.
Sam's Club, with 600 membership clubs worldwide, is leveraging AI to streamline operations and enhance customer experience. The company aims to remove friction from the shopping process, offering a curated selection of products tailored to members' needs. At the heart of this transformation is a commitment to engaging people in the change process, as highlighted by Todd Garner, chief product officer of Sam's Club. Garner stresses the importance of clearly communicating the 'what', 'why', and 'how' of the AI-driven transformation to ensure everyone is on board.
C&A, under the leadership of its CEO, has also been undergoing a significant transformation. The company is embracing AI to optimize core processes and elevate the customer experience. It uses AI for trend identification, restocking, dynamic pricing, personalized recommendations, and even facial biometric payments. This approach has been key to C&A's success, as acknowledged by its CEO, Paulo Correa. Both Correa and Garner envision a future where AI is essential for retail, driving significant changes in customer experience and personalization. This was a key topic explored at a panel discussion led by Alberto Serrentino, founder of Varese Retail, at our website 2025: Retail's Big Show. The panel delved into how a retail transformation agenda changes the role of AI, generates new business models, and requires a customer-centric approach. While AI brings automation and potential job insecurity, it also offers opportunities to optimize core processes and enhance customer experience.
Both Sam's Club and C&A are at the forefront of retail transformation, leveraging AI to enhance customer experience and drive business growth. By understanding and driving AI, leadership in both companies is ensuring that their businesses remain competitive in the ever-evolving retail landscape.
