YOOBIC, a global leader in AI-powered retail operations, has announced the acquisition of Humanitics, a fast-growing innovator in AI-driven retail analytics. This strategic move strengthens YOOBIC’s position as the leading platform for AI in frontline retail, enabling brands to improve store performance, elevate employee productivity, and enhance overall customer experience by integrating deeper layers of intelligent automation and predictive insights.
Alongside the acquisition, YOOBIC also introduced the YOOBIC Store Manager Copilot—an advanced ai assistant designed to help store managers interpret data, prioritize daily actions, and drive measurable improvements in both sales and operational efficiency. Together, these advancements signal YOOBIC’s commitment to placing ai at the center of modern retail operations, allowing frontline teams to operate more intelligently and strategically.
YOOBIC remains the only retail operations platform built entirely around generative ai, machine learning, and embedded automation tailored for store teams. By consolidating task management, workforce communication, and performance analytics into one unified system, the platform helps retailers streamline execution and optimize productivity across every store location.
Fabrice Haiat, Founder and CEO of YOOBIC, explained the company’s vision with clarity:
“AI will define the future of retail. At YOOBIC, our goal is to make AI the store team's most valuable partner. Every minute a store manager spends buried in spreadsheets is a minute lost from improving the customer experience. With AI, we turn those insights into immediate action.”
Haiat further added:
“By acquiring Humanitics, we're adding world-class AI analytics capabilities that accelerate our roadmap and deliver even more intelligent, action-oriented insights for our customers. Gregory Amzel and his team share our vision: that AI should bring humanity back to retail, not take it away.”
Humanitics, an ai-native saas analytics provider, specializes in transforming complex retail datasets into prioritized actions that increase store performance. The company already works with leading global retailers including Hugo Boss, Lacoste, and Chantelle. Integrating Humanitics into YOOBIC’s ecosystem will allow retailers to move from traditional reporting to real-time, intelligent recommendations powered by predictive analytics.
Gregory Amzel, CEO of Humanitics, emphasized the mission behind the company:
“We built Humanitics to help retail teams transform data into decisions. By joining YOOBIC, we can embed our AI insights directly into daily retail workflows — empowering every frontline team member to perform at their best.”
YOOBIC’s new Store Manager Copilot further reimagines how store leaders operate. Acting as an ai partner, the Copilot delivers insights and guidance in natural language, helping managers focus on key tasks such as increasing sales, optimizing labor, and improving satisfaction across the customer experience.
With the combined strength of YOOBIC’s operational platform and Humanitics’ analytics engine, the company is preparing for a global rollout of Store Manager Copilot in early 2026—followed by additional AI agents designed to support more retail roles.
