Fashion Retail Enters the Age of Connected AI as 2025 Marks Shift from Experimentation to Operational Adoption: Rohan Manthani, Co-Founder, Streamoid
Rohan Manthani, Co-Founder, Streamoid said that “2025 was the year fashion and retail moved from AI curiosity to operational adoption. As margins tightened and trend cycles accelerated, brands realised that isolated tools were no longer enough.
The real shift was toward connected, decision-first systems that bring design, planning, cataloging, and commerce onto a single intelligence layer. AI emerged as a growth driver not by automating creativity, but by removing friction from how teams work. Brands used AI to shorten go-to-market timelines, improve demand planning, reduce manual catalog work, and make earlier, more confident decisions. These gains also translated into sustainability wins, from lower overproduction to fewer returns driven by better product data and visuals.
In 2026, the focus will move decisively toward agentic platforms embedded into daily workflows.”
