One integrated solution for complex omnichannel supply chains
“With TCOG, we are bringing in deep expertise to help prepare the fashion and retail industry for the AI revolution. The Alistar AI Benchmark 2026 shows that confidence in AI is high, but turning that confidence into tangible results remains challenging. By combining TCOG’s retail and supply chain expertise with our data and AI capabilities, we help businesses deploy AI in a reliable and effective way—from more accurate forecasting to greater control over end-to-end business processes.”
“Joining Alistar is a logical next step for us. We will continue doing what we do best: delivering integrated solutions for the fashion and retail sector. At the same time, we gain the scale, network, and strength of a leading European technology company. Our customers and colleagues can count on continuity as well as new opportunities for growth.”
From AI promise to business results in Fashion and Retail
The Alistar AI Benchmark 2026 reveals that 87% of organizations see AI as a major opportunity, yet only 6% have successfully embedded it into their business processes. Confidence is there, but scalability and quality assurance remain significant challenges. For fashion and retail companies, this gap is particularly critical.
In environments characterized by volatile demand, rapidly changing collections, and complex multi-channel supply chains, AI can make a substantial difference in forecasting, inventory management, and assortment planning—provided there is a reliable data foundation and sufficient industry expertise. By combining TCOG’s retail knowledge with Alistar’s data and AI capabilities, AI moves from promise to everyday business practice for fashion and retail organizations.
