In the latest episode of Retail Untangled, host Amie Larter sits down with Jason Lee, VP of APAC Sales at Centric Software, to dissect how disconnected product systems, siloed departments, and spreadsheet pricing are silently eroding retail margins. As consumer shopping shifts seamlessly from physical storefronts to social media and online channels, traditional linear workflows are failing to keep pace with rapid demand cycles and aggressive promotional calendars. Jason explains why a clean, consolidated data foundation is an absolute prerequisite for meaningful AI adoption, showing how connected product insights enable faster time-to-market, smarter demand forecasting, and consistent cross-channel pricing long before a customer reaches the checkout.
