\nAvia by Retailogists is among one of the first apps selected by Shopify to integrate with Sidekick at launch \u2014 bringing physical store intelligence into Shopify\u2019s AI assistant for the first time<\/p><\/a><\/a>

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shopify today launched Sidekick App Extensions, a new framework enabling third-party apps to integrate directly with its AI assistant. Avia by Retailogists is among one of the first apps selected by Shopify to be a launch partner \u2014 making it the first in-store intelligence platform accessible through Sidekick.<\/p>

\nAvia brings ecom level intelligence to retail stores through a compact edge-AI device installed at store entrances \u2014 foot traffic, shopper demographics, average time spent in store, in-store conversion rates, and predictive hourly forecasts up to 14 days ahead (traffic & inventory). Through the Sidekick integration, that data is now surfaced directly in the AI assistant merchants already use to run their business.<\/p>

\n\u201cShopify built Sidekick App Extensions to make the whole ecosystem smarter for merchants. We're proud to be part of that from day one. Until now, Sidekick could see your online store in full \u2014 and your in-store sales. But the moment a customer walked in and didn't buy, that was invisible. Avia fills that gap. For the first time, a merchant has one conversation that spans their entire business.\u201d<\/i><\/p>

\n\u2014 Vincent Younan, Co-Founder, Retailogists<\/b><\/p>

\nWhat merchants can do with Avia + Sidekick today<\/b><\/p>

\n\u2022 Diagnose store performance \u2014 ask Sidekick why foot traffic, conversion, or revenue changed, with answers that reason across POS and in-store signals together<\/p>

\n\u2022 Forecast and staff proactively \u2014 hourly traffic predictions up to 14 days out, surfaced through Sidekick with concrete staffing and inventory recommendations<\/p>

\n\u2022 Log external events conversationally \u2014 a nearby concert, a competitor promotion, a local holiday entered through Sidekick automatically updates location-level forecasts<\/p>

\n\u2022 Understand who walked in \u2014 demographic intelligence (gender & age groups) beyond headcounts, unavailable anywhere else in Shopify POS<\/p>

\nAvailability<\/b><\/p>

\nAvia is available now in the Shopify App Store<\/a>. The Sidekick integration is live for all Shopify merchants using Avia as of today. Avia is deployed across 500+ stores globally, including enterprise Shopify merchants across North America, Europe & Asia.<\/p>
