Decades of Trusted Retail Expertise and AI Innovation
Pioneering Retail AI Since Our Founding
Founded as an IBM Technology Partner specializing in Artificial Intelligence, Churchill has been at the forefront of applying AI-driven pattern recognition to understand and forecast shopper behavior in retail.
Meeting the Needs of Modern Retailers
A major breakthrough occurred when Churchill engineers, utilizing AI neural network technology, discovered how to significantly improve the efficiency of AI-based retail forecasting applications, while at the same time, drastically reducing the amount of historical data required to build the forecasting and analytic models.
Three Key Principles of Our Approach
Our approach to transformation centers on three key principles designed to create impact without overextending your resources:
Enhancing Existing Systems
Rather than pushing for a complete overhaul, we integrate our solutions into your current architecture, optimizing performance and extending the lifespan of your investments. Our software doesn’t compete with your existing systems — it complements them.
Addressing Specific Pain Points
While larger providers may offer Demand Forecasting and Pricing Optimization as a part of a broader suite, our deep expertise ensures you get best-in-class performance where you need it most.
Delivering ROI in 90 Days
Our solutions are designed to provide measurable improvements within as soon as 90 days, allowing you to see the impact quickly and build momentum toward your larger goals.
