Retailers today operate in an environment where every transaction, every click, and every interaction generates valuable data. From online shopping carts to in-store footfall sensors, the retail sector is sitting on a goldmine of information. The challenge? Turning this raw data into actionable insights.

AI agents, workflows and orchestration bring existing AI solutions together into a single working system. Think of an AI workflow as a digital assembly line—different AI tools handle specific steps, pass work to one another and keep the process moving, reducing manual effort while improving speed and consistency. Most people think AI means chatbots, voice assistants or tools that answer questions.But something much bigger is happening quietly in the background. AI is learning how to take action.

If you’ve ever worked with data—whether as an analyst, engineer or business user—you’ve probably felt the pain of using too many disconnected tools. One tool to move data, another to store it, another to clean it and yet another to build dashboards. By the time insights reach decision-makers, the data is already outdated. This is exactly the problem Microsoft Fabric is trying to solve. It unifies various data-related services under a single umbrella to streamline the process of collecting, storing, processing, analyzing and visualizing data. Whether you’re a data engineer, analyst, scientist or business user, Fabric offers tools tailored to your role.
