Arkham AI for CPG & Retail Execution

This is like giving every consumer packaged goods brand (snacks, cosmetics, beverages, etc.) a super-observant assistant that watches what happens from the factory to the store shelf and then tells your teams exactly where things are going wrong and what to fix first.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

CPG companies struggle to ensure flawless execution from production to shelf: out‑of‑stocks, poor shelf placement, promotion non‑compliance, and slow reaction to demand or field issues. This platform aims to continuously monitor data across that chain and recommend concrete actions, so brands waste less, avoid lost sales, and improve in‑store execution without adding headcount.

Value Drivers

Reduced revenue loss from out-of-stocks and poor shelf executionLower operational costs via automated monitoring and insights vs. manual auditsFaster reaction to demand and field issues through continuous, AI-driven alertsImproved promotional ROI through better compliance and execution visibilityBetter cross-functional alignment (sales, trade marketing, operations) using a single source of truth

Strategic Moat

If broadly deployed, the moat would come from proprietary execution data (field, POS, promo, supply-chain signals) and the workflows built around them, not the models themselves. Tight integration with CPG workflows and retailer data feeds would make it sticky for customers.

Scalability Bottleneck

Integration with heterogeneous CPG data sources (ERP, supply chain, field tools, POS) and controlling LLM costs/latency as data and user counts grow.

Differentiation Factor

Positioned specifically for end-to-end CPG execution (“plant to shelf”) rather than generic analytics or generic AI copilots, likely combining operational data with natural-language workflows for commercial and field teams.
