Latest Intelligence Update — March 2026

Dynamic Pricing for SMB Retailers

AI-powered dynamic pricing tools are now accessible to SMB retailers, not just major chains. Cloud-based solutions allow independent stores to optimise pricing in real time based on demand, competition, and inventory levels.

Computer Vision for Inventory Management

Computer vision technology for inventory management is reducing retail shrinkage significantly. Automated shelf monitoring and smart checkout systems help retailers identify stock discrepancies and loss patterns in real time.

Conversational AI Chatbots

Conversational AI chatbots are now handling over 40% of customer service queries for retailers who have adopted them. These tools provide 24/7 support, reduce staffing pressure during peak periods, and improve response times dramatically.

ACCA Implications for AI Pricing

The Australian Competition and Consumer Act has implications for AI-driven pricing strategies. The ACCC is monitoring algorithmic pricing for potential anti-competitive behaviour, including concerns about AI-facilitated tacit collusion between competitors.
