LG U+ partners with Sodomall to develop AI solutions for small businesses

LG U+ has entered into a business agreement with Sodomall, an online and offline distribution platform, to develop customized AI transformation (AX) solutions for small business owners. The partnership aims to help small businesses adapt to the spread of generative AI and changes in the online retail environment.

The collaboration will focus on providing AI and telecommunications solutions within stores, expanding sales channels for small businesses, and discovering new projects to revitalize local commercial districts. A key component of the initiative involves combining LG U+’s telecommunications and AI infrastructure with Sodomall’s distribution data to support customized product demand forecasting.

Specifically, the companies plan to test a solution that integrates LG U+’s ‘Woori Gage Package’ commercial district analysis service with Sodomall’s regional sales and group purchase data. This will allow businesses to identify and analyze product groups likely to see increased demand based on specific regions or time periods, enabling more efficient inventory and logistics planning. Additionally, the two parties will cooperate on developing AX solutions to make AI more accessible for customer service and store management efficiency.
