AI helps customers and owners within different boundaries

Customer asksAI calls a toolApproved facts only

CustomerIs Runner X size 42 available at a nearby branch?

AIAI verifies the product, variant, price, branch and customer-safe availability before answering; missing facts lead to clarification or staff handoff.

What AI can do
  • Check published products and prices
  • Find variants and verified alternatives
  • Track order status
  • Create an order after confirmation

Customers never see sales totals, reports, costs or back-office data.

Owners ask the back-office AI assistant

Permission checked before every read
Which product sold best this month, what were sales, and what is at risk of stocking out?
What Admin can ask AI to analyze
  • Compare sales by branch, channel and time
  • Find top, slow, profitable and frequently returned products
  • Analyze stockout risk, repeat customers and promotion results
  • Review unusual discounts, returns and cash variance

AI can summarize and create files; refunds, price changes and stock adjustments require authorized human confirmation.

Important authority boundaries

  • Sales and stock come from verified system data
  • Discounts, refunds and stock adjustments require permission and confirmation
  • AI never confirms payment for staff
