Why It Matters

Merchandising Without Trend Intelligence Is Guesswork

Most retail teams react to market shifts only after competitors move, causing:

Delayed assortment decisions
Missed trend windows
Overbuying unpopular styles
Stockouts on fast-emerging demand
Low visibility into category and attribute shifts

Couture.ai removes the guesswork with always-on intelligence that predicts what customers will desire weeks before the market shows it.

Trend Intelligence

How It Works

Real-Time Trend Detection Across the Retail Ecosystem

Trend Intelligence connects thousands of real-time signals to map what’s rising, peaking, and fading.

Signals Analyzed:

Social media conversations & influencer trends

Search frequency and discovery patterns

Marketplace and e-commerce behaviors

Content sentiment, imagery patterns, and micro-trend clusters

Global retail movement across categories & subcategories

Result: The MCP coordinates signal ingestion, forecasting, scoring, and recommendations – forming the foundation of Couture.ai’s AI Merchandising System.
