YOOBIC announced a significant expansion of its AI capabilities with the acquisition of Humanitics and the debut of YOOBIC Store Manager Copilot, marking an important advancement in AI adoption for frontline retail teams. The company said the acquisition will deepen its leadership in AI-powered retail operations by integrating advanced analytics that enhance store performance, employee productivity, and overall customer experience.
Based in New York, YOOBIC has built its platform around generative AI, machine learning, and intelligent automation, giving retailers a unified system for task execution, communication, and performance management. The addition of Humanitics brings sophisticated predictive analytics that help retail leaders move from traditional reporting to dynamic AI-driven recommendations. Humanitics already works with leading global retailers, and its models have demonstrated rapid revenue impact in live environments.
Humanitics’ platform transforms complex retail data into prioritized actions that lift store engagement and performance. Integrating these capabilities into YOOBIC’s system creates an expanded retail intelligence engine that provides real-time visibility into store operations and identifies the actions most likely to drive sales and improve efficiency.
At the same time, YOOBIC introduced Store Manager Copilot, a new AI assistant designed to support retail leaders with natural-language insights, performance analysis, and recommended actions. The Copilot combines YOOBIC’s operational data with Humanitics’ predictive intelligence, enabling managers to focus on the most impactful opportunities in areas such as labor optimization, sales generation, and customer satisfaction. This launch builds on the rollout of YOOBIC NEO in 2023 and represents the next phase in the company’s broad AI roadmap, which will expand to additional roles and departments throughout 2026.
YOOBIC serves over 350 global retail brands and is backed by major investors, including Insight Partners, Felix Capital, and Highland Europe. The company operates from offices in New York, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv. Humanitics, founded in 2020 and based in France, has worked with prominent retailers across Europe to deploy AI tools that convert data into intelligent operational decisions.
