Meet Sandra. She is an online merchandiser for fashion brand Bluebird. She has faced supply chain delays, photo reshoots and inventory woes, which have all pushed the launch of the latest collection behind schedule. But now that the team has ordered the final dress to complete the range, today is the day: Sandra is finally ready to create the spring/summer 26 collection on Bluebird’s website.

Thanks to the transformative assistance of AI and the latest smart tech solutions, merchandisers like Sandra are not just faster, but they are better than ever at connecting consumers with the products they love.
