From Gut Feel to Ground Truth: Dimensional Data, AI Agents, and the Future of Grocery Financial Management

Grocers run on thin margins and thick complexity, multiple stores, departments, vendors, and SKUs all rolled into one P&L. This session will demonstrate how modern financial management software is closing that visibility gap using dimensional data surfaced through tailored dashboards and reports, and how embedded AI and AI agents are allowing finance teams to ask plain-language questions of their systems instead of building another spreadsheet.

We’ll also address the topic nobody wants to admit: none of this matters if the underlying data isn’t accurate. The session will include a practical story about what happens when financial data is wrong, along with ways grocers can build a stronger data foundation to support better reporting, better AI output, and better business decisions.
