Cegid introduced Cegid Retail One, a unified, modular platform for specialty retailers that consolidates sales, inventory and store operations into a single application, featuring an embedded conversational AI assistant. Designed to address fragmented in-store software, the multilingual platform supports role-based customization and single sign-on from a single device.
The solution integrates Cegid Retail Live Store, Inventory Tracking, Store Performance and Store Excellence with third-party tools through real-time APIs. Its AI assistant, accessible by voice or text, helps store associates retrieve customer records, product recommendations and inventory information within Cegid's secure environment. The platform was co-developed with retail customers, with its name selected at Cegid Connections Retail 2026.
For retailers, the platform reduces app switching, speeds employee onboarding and improves operational efficiency while giving associates faster access to customer and product information. The launch reflects the growing use of AI-powered unified retail platforms to streamline store operations and support omnichannel experiences.
