Retail Labs
Applied AI for Commerce and Operations
We build AI systems grounded in commercial operations and conduct applied research into operational and financial modelling.
Why Retail Labs exists
We started with a production problem that kept repeating: turning a product photograph into usable fashion imagery. That became Studio. Working inside live commerce operations, the next problems were different. A packing dispute has no product page. A marketplace campaign has a budget that can go wrong overnight. The records a firm actually writes are incomplete, and they live in spreadsheets and habit. Those we built as systems for the operations that had them. The modelling work started from the same place: if a firm already writes events, can those events become a model?
Three lines of work: a public imagery product used by fashion brands; bespoke operational systems built for specific operations rather than sold as products; and an applied research line on operational and financial modelling. The engineering and the research are done by the same team: a team that has also operated commerce businesses, has research experience using agent-based modelling in finance, and works closely with operators, which is why the models start from what operations actually record rather than from how a process is supposed to work.

The work, by stage
We label our own work accurately. Some of it runs in production every day. Some is an active pilot, in use but not offered as a product. Some is a collaborative initiative still being formed. Telling you which is which is more useful than calling everything a platform.
Work with us
Brands, operations teams, and research partners each reach us differently: tell us which you are.
