Simulate shopper behaviour and marketplace dynamics

Retail & E-commerce

Model how shoppers discover, evaluate, and purchase products across online and physical retail environments. Simulate seasonal dynamics, promotional impacts, and competitive pricing strategies.

Retail is a complex system of shopper behaviour, inventory dynamics, competitive pricing, and seasonal patterns. A promotion that works in Q2 might backfire in Q4. A competitor's price drop cascades through your entire category. A new product launch cannibalises your own best-seller.

Foretide simulates the retail ecosystem at the shopper level. Agents represent different customer segments — price-sensitive bargain hunters, brand-loyal premium buyers, impulse shoppers, and comparison researchers. Each has their own discovery patterns, decision criteria, and switching triggers.

Test promotional strategies, predict cannibalisation effects, and optimise pricing before committing to a seasonal plan.

"We simulated our Black Friday promotional strategy with 500 simulated shoppers. The simulation showed that bundling drove 40% more revenue than discounting — and our actual results confirmed it within 5% variance."
