AI Recommendations

Overview

The AI Recommendations feature provides merchants with smart insights based on their sales performance over the past six months.
An integrated AI engine analyses historical sales data and generates personalised recommendations to help merchants optimise pricing, stock levels, product assortment, and profitability.
The feature is available exclusively to users with an active Business Subscription.

How the Feature Works (Detailed Explanation)

1. Sales data collection:
   Y-POS automatically collects and aggregates sales performance for the last 6 months.

2. AI analysis:
   An AI model evaluates patterns such as:

   • best-selling items

   • slow-moving products

   • seasonal trends

   • average basket size

   • price fluctuations

   • category performance

3. Recommendation generation:
   Based on the analysis, the system generates clear, actionable suggestions, such as:

   • “Increase stock for these items before the weekend.”

   • “This product is underperforming — consider a discount.”

   • “Customers often buy X together with Y — create a bundle.”

   • “Your average price in Category A is lower than competitors.”

4. User access:
   Merchants can view AI insights directly inside the Sales Reports section.

5. Business Subscription requirement:
   Only users with a Business Subscription can unlock AI Recommendations.
