Galvia is proud to announce its Retail Excellence Ireland partnership, a strategic collaboration with the country’s foremost retail industry representative body. The goal of this partnership is to make AI more accessible to Irish retailers, enabling smarter decisions, greater innovation, and a stronger competitive advantage.
Through this partnership, Galvia will offer its expertise in AI to REI’s extensive network of over 2,200 retail members. The initiative includes tailored programs such as the Retail AI Adoption Accelerator, designed to demystify AI and provide a pathway for retailers to see the potential for AI applications within their business. By leveraging Galvia’s AI platform, retailers can transform their data into actionable insights, optimise resources, and make faster, smarter decisions across their operations.
“Helping Irish retailers make AI work for them”
John Clancy, CEO and founder of Galvia, shared his enthusiasm about the partnership with Retail Excellence Ireland:
“AI is revolutionising retail by connecting the data retailers already have to unlock better decisions, faster. Our collaboration with Retail Excellence Ireland is about helping retailers make AI work for them: turning insight into action, and potential into real growth. Together, we’re enabling Irish retailers to move with greater clarity, confidence, and competitive edge in a rapidly changing market.”
Jean McCabe, CEO of Retail Excellence Ireland, echoed this sentiment:
“At Retail Excellence Ireland, we’re committed to helping our members embrace innovation that delivers real value. Galvia’s work is a powerful example of how AI can simplify complex operations and empower retail teams to make smarter, faster decisions. We’re excited to see the impact this technology will have across our network.”
Petstop + Galvia: A Smart Partnership for Smarter Retail
At the upcoming REI Retreat, John will join Anthony Gallagher, CEO of Petstop — a Galvia client — for a fireside chat exploring how AI is reshaping retail decision-making. They will discuss Petstop’s journey from siloed data to real-time visibility, the practical steps they took to adopt Galvia’s platform, and the measurable impact it has had on store performance and customer experience. This candid conversation will give REI members firsthand insights into how intelligent, action-focused technology can empower teams, streamline operations, and drive growth across the retail business — from head office to shop floor.
This partnership underscores a shared commitment to fostering innovation and supporting the Irish retail community in embracing digital transformation. By combining Galvia’s AI expertise with REI’s extensive industry reach, the collaboration is poised to make a significant impact on the future of retail in Ireland.
