What does it take to manage digital retail for world-class brands across dozens of international markets and channels? For Al-Futtaim, a large retail conglomerate operating some of the world’s leading brands like Marks & Spencer, Ace Hardware, Zara, IKEA, and more, the answer lies in balancing standardized scale with local market agility.
As global retail expands across digital touchpoints and international markets, every new region or brand shouldn’t require starting a project from scratch. For complex retailers, true agility means embedding AI and unified commerce directly into the core tech stack—driving measurable business value without adding operational challenges.
In this engaging 30-minute fireside chat, we’ll explore how Al-Futtaim has transformed its commerce architecture and strategy, leveraging a unified commerce and flexible fulfillment engine alongside cutting-edge AI solutions to streamline multi-country operations, launch new store features faster, and create meaningful, frictionless experiences for shoppers across the Middle East and Asia.

KIBO AI is model-agnostic by design. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or open-weight models, and switch or layer them as your needs and the technology evolve. You’re never tied to one vendor’s pricing, roadmap or release cycle — and you’re never locked out of the next meaningful model improvement.

For European businesses, AI governance is a procurement question today, not a future one. KIBO AI answers it with mechanisms rather than assurances: any action that would change data stops for human approval before it executes, every Playbook runs under its author’s own access rights, and every run is logged with what it saw, what it changed and who approved it. Freedom within control, not autonomy without oversight.
