Vendor selected in 6 weeks

A ShopVisor founder ran system selection for a $2.5B, 54-country eCommerce operation. Typical cycles run nine months.

$100K back on your first RFP

We watched one national retailer pay four consulting firms roughly $300K each in a single technology cycle. Saving $100K on your first RFP is the conservative case.

$2B eCommerce platform

A ShopVisor founder led multichannel and marketplace engineering at GSI Commerce, behind a $2B platform.

Built the model behind iVURM

A ShopVisor founder developed the retail Operational Data Model behind the iVURM Strategy Explorer, the point where systems meet strategy. Joining the two is what drives real-world results at every level of retail operations.

Wrote the book on it

A ShopVisor founder is the author of the newly published Why Tomorrow's Customers Won't Shop Like Today's, on where retail buying behavior goes next.

First cloud AI products

A ShopVisor founder launched Nvidia's first cloud AI product, then built AI security company ActZero from zero as CTO and first employee.

Ask a hard question. Every answer draws on the industry standard and on your own data, and tells you where it came from.

Generic AI guesses. ShopVisor shows its work.

ShopVisor

A point-of-sale system that meets the retail standard must share every transaction detail your other systems need, including tax, tender, and returns. Two of your three vendors do this today.

What is ShopVisor?

ShopVisor, built by The Retail Profits, is a suite of agentic AI tools that help retailers, product companies, and system integrators locate the right retail systems, integrate them without the debt, and operate on clean data — scoring RFP responses, validating vendor claims, and mapping integrations, all grounded in ARTS, the retail industry's data standard.

What is ARTS?

ARTS — the Association for Retail Technology Standards, part of the National Retail Federation — is the retail industry's standards body. For more than 30 years it has defined the shared data language retail systems run on, including POSLog (the standard for point-of-sale transaction data) and the retail Operational Data Model, now stewarded by the Object Management Group. ShopVisor's tools are built directly on ARTS, so every answer is grounded in the standard your systems already speak — not generic AI guesswork.

The first answer is an expert's. The hundredth is yours.

Day one. It knows retail.

Every question after. It learns your business.

Overnight. It gets smarter about both.

Some gaps surface during your integration project. Some surface one random Tuesday across your stores. ShopVisor finds them first.
