RETAIL & E-COMMERCE
High-Quality Training Data for Retail &
E-commerce
As technology continues to transform the world around us, consumer expectations are shifting. Advances in AI technology for the retail sector are transforming shopping experiences both in-store and online.
Search Relevance
According to Accenture, 91% of consumers say they are more likely to shop with brands that provide offers and recommendations that are relevant to them. Better search improves your users’ personalized shopping experience to increase conversion rates, average order value, and revenue of your e-commerce business.
The Sama Solution
Precisely label each product's unique attributes (i.e. dimensions, price points, descriptions) to improve search relevance, shorten product discovery time and help your brand build a hyper-personalized experience which the customer will reward with loyalty.
A powerful combination of our ML-fueled platform and skilled humans-in-the-loop allows us to deliver high-quality labels and up to 300% efficiency improvements (vs without ML) – for better recommendations, better customer experience, and more revenue.
Inventory Management
The increasing complexity and fluidity of SKUs overburden stores with largely manual assortment planning that results in over-stock or out-of-stock items – both of which are costly to retailers. In a research study conducted by Auburn University RFID Lab Studies, researchers found that retailers benefit from item-level tagging because it increases inventory accuracy from an average of 63% to 95%.

Checkout-Free Shopping
The in-person check out experience is evolving – slow lines cost approximately $37.7 billion in potential sales per year, according to research director Jordan McKee. While stores have begun experimenting with cashierless checkout, checkout-free shopping is helping consumers skip the line entirely.

Security and Theft Prevention
Retail shrinkage can drastically impact retailers’ profits and can even put businesses with low-profit margins out of business entirely. According to the National Retail Federation, in 2019, the inventory loss due to shoplifting, employee theft, or other errors and fraud reached $61.7 billion in the United States alone.
The Sama Solution
Computer vision can provide traffic and behavior analytics by using real-time, accurate visitor counts and classification to better understand the flow of traffic. Harness the power of video to identify threats in real time, leading to quicker and better decisions to improve security and prevent theft and its associated costs.
AR Staging of Furniture and Clothing
As more consumers shop online, retailers must get creative to inspire confidence in users’ purchase decisions. Augmented reality is helping consumers envision their purchases — whether an oversized couch or new pair of shoes — in their homes and on their bodies. Surveys show that 48% of customers are more likely to shop at a retailer that offers an AR experience.
The Sama Solution
Provide a seamless augmented reality experience for consumers with accurately labeled computer vision data. For consumers, credible AR applications will enhance the online shopping experience and boost confidence; for retailers, the result is more sales and fewer returns.
