Original US Release: UiPath Optimizes Retail and Manufacturing Operations with New Agentic Solutions
New York, USA, March 25, 2026 – UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a leader in agentic business orchestration, today announced new agentic AI solutions targeted at the retail and manufacturing industries. These new solutions are designed to help optimize and automate complex workflows spanning merchandising, pricing, and inventory management.
Retailers and manufacturers face increasing pressure to respond rapidly to shifting consumer demand, manage complex global supply chains, and optimize pricing and inventory across expanding omnichannel environments. In addition to data being scattered across merchandising systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms, and supply chain tools, manual analysis and decision-making often lead to delayed responses and a lack of visibility into inventory, pricing, and product performance.
Retail Solution: UiPath Solution for merchandising
With the UiPath Solution for merchandising, AI agents optimize product assortments by analyzing historical and real-time sales data, performance trends, demand signals, and inventory availability. This results in actionable insights that help merchandising teams maximize profit margins and improve inventory efficiency.
The solution also helps retailers adjust pricing and markdown strategies in alignment with demand trends and competitive landscapes. Built-in capabilities include price elasticity analysis to measure the impact of price changes on demand, as well as planners for promotions and markdowns that leverage predictive analytics to optimize campaign timing and price adjustments. Furthermore, campaign agents automate the launch and management of promotions across both digital channels and physical stores.
Catherine Frame, Director of Retail Solutions at UiPath, stated:
"While the adoption of AI is accelerating across industries, many organizations struggle to transition from the experimental phase to full-scale operationalization that delivers measurable business outcomes. UiPath Solutions are designed for the most common use cases in retail, utilizing a combination of agents and agentic business orchestration to preemptively address inventory, pricing, and supply chain challenges with AI-guided decision-making. Retailers can rapidly automate their most critical business processes—from merchandising and pricing to supply chain operations—while maintaining the governance and trust needed to scale AI responsibly."
Dan Finley, CEO of Debenhams Group, commented:
"As a digital-first retailer, Debenhams Group is leveraging AI to make smarter and faster decisions that lead to operational efficiencies and enhanced customer experiences. This technology is revolutionizing how we manage inventory and pricing, particularly during the busy holiday season, helping us consistently deliver exceptional value and service across all our brands."
