For instance, Optumera utilises AI capabilities to predict the pricing regimes of a client’s direct competitors in real time, allowing for the development of a well-informed strategy of its own that consists of optimal pricing levels. The solution also automates planogram compliance.

In the physical realm, Optumera allows for spatial optimisation with respect to development and allocation of storage space. Based on this comprehensive scope of capabilities, the solution was presented an award at a ceremony held in San Francisco in September, which comprised part of the larger AI Summit San Francisco.

Optumera is one of TCS’ flagship products, among the many factors that has positioned it as the 58th most valuable brand in the US. The firm has devoted a large share of its efforts in recent times to the development of its capabilities in the Industry 4.0 domain, which appears to be reaping rewards.

Commenting on receiving the reward, the President of Retail, CPG and TTH at TCS Pratik Pal said, “Optumera™ has been instrumental in helping Fortune 500 companies drive strategic growth and digitally transform their companies into Business 4.0 enabled enterprises.
