Hanshow Launches xPilot to Turn Retail Insights into Real-Time Action

Published

on

SINGAPORE, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hanshow, a global leader in digital store solutions, today announced the launch of xPilot, a one‑stop, real‑time intelligent execution assistant for physical retail. Unveiled at NRF 2026 APAC, xPilot marks a new step in store digitalization, helping retailers move from “seeing data” to turning data into timely, intelligent action.

Despite growing investment in retail technology, many retailers still struggle to translate store-level data into timely, consistent execution, resulting in delayed responses, inconsistent execution and sales losses. Drawing on years of deep retail expertise, Hanshow has established a high‑fidelity in‑store sensing foundation through the large-scale deployment of electronic shelf labels and other intelligent devices. This infrastructure continuously captures real‑time data across the store, providing accuracy and immediacy to support AI‑driven execution at scale.

Built on an open, cloud‑native architecture, xPilot aggregates this data into a real-time digital representation of each store, including a live 3D digital twin that reflects operational conditions. The assistant automatically detects and quantifies high‑impact exceptions such as out‑of‑shelf situations and planogram non‑compliance, while visualizing task status and operational priorities.

At the intelligence layer, xPilot delivers open, retail‑grade intelligence by uniting Hanshow’s in‑house capabilities with ecosystem partner expertise. By integrating retail‑specific analytical models with general large language models, xPilot provides insights with enhanced accuracy, explainability, and operational relevance. Powered by Hanshow’s end-to-end smart infrastructure and partner technologies, its built‑in, retail‑focused AI Agent enables store teams to interact with operational data using natural language, delivering contextual analysis, root‑cause insights and recommended actions.

xPilot ensures execution through intelligent task orchestration and automated verification. Tasks are prioritized by commercial impact, assigned dynamically based on staff location and workload, and validated through the in-store IoT systems, enabling consistent execution with minimal manual oversight.

Designed as an open platform, xPilot integrates with existing enterprise systems, supports cross‑cloud deployment, and enables integration with third-party IoT devices and AI models, allowing modular adoption without disrupting current technology investments.

“The next phase of retail competitiveness will be defined by the speed and precision of transferring insights into execution,” said Relvin Sun, Dean of Hanshow Retail Research Institute at Hanshow. “With xPilot, we are helping physical stores become more responsive, intelligent and scalable.”

Looking ahead, Hanshow will continue to combine its end-to-end intelligent store solutions with an open ecosystem, supporting retailers in building more agile, efficient and future-ready store networks.

BOSTON, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AI has enormous potential to help address some of the world’s most pressing social challenges. Yet the organizations best positioned to act on that potential often remain significantly underresourced. To help close that gap, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) today announced it will commit $500 million by 2030 to AI for social impact, focusing on the organizations most poised for transformative impact and large-scale system change.

The commitment builds on BCG’s track record of sustained investment in social impact—dedicating 3.5 million hours to social impact work and investing more than $1.5 billion in social impact projects since 2020. Since 2024, BCG has delivered more than 200 tech and AI efforts for social impact organizations.

A Partnership Built for Impact

This new AI commitment will help BCG support leading philanthropies and non-profits as they unlock and scale development outcomes, from education and workforce development to health care and poverty reduction.

As an initial step, BCG is partnering with Anthropic’s Beneficial Deployments team, combining Anthropic’s frontier models with BCG’s expertise to deliver breakthrough impact for up to 20 leading social impact organizations this year.

“AI is the defining strategic priority of our time,” said Christoph Schweizer, BCG’s CEO. “As we help companies and industries around the world transform with applied AI, we are also deeply committed to ensuring the social sector captures those same benefits. AI can, and should, play a vital role in addressing society’s hardest problems.”

Building on Demonstrated Delivery

“For more than 30 years, BCG has partnered with world-class social impact organizations to tackle the most complex global challenges. That legacy, combined with our deep experience helping leading businesses transform with AI at scale, positions us uniquely for this moment. Now we are called to bring together our expertise, the power of AI, and the reach of our partner organizations in service of lasting change,” said Jim Larson, BCG’s global social impact leader.

“The organizations taking on the world’s hardest problems should have access to powerful AI, along with a team that can help them actually put it to work,” said Elizabeth Kelly, Head of Beneficial Deployments at Anthropic. “We’re bringing Claude credits and hands-on training to this partnership so that social impact organizations can actually put AI to work on their missions.”
