Kodama TCG: AI in the daily operations of a retail chain

Publishing a product went from 15 minutes to 1: a photo becomes the full listing with copy, price, stock and sales channels. Official product copy is inserted verbatim by code, so the AI never invents product facts.

Handwritten restock lists are matched against a 3,100+ product catalog in about a minute, with stock transfers between stores recorded in an auditable ledger and automatic back-in-stock alerts to customers.

A custom storefront with event and gallery pages, shipped through a pipeline where every change passes an automated test suite before reaching customers.

Result: sales up 10% in the 3 months after the rebuild (reported by the client).

Google Ads, Google Shopping and analytics wired straight into the store, so every campaign is tied to the sales it produced.

With search and paid campaigns working together, site visits grew 215% in one month.

Online registration with per-campaign attribution, 1,300+ attendees, live check-in run by 20 staff from their own phones, a real-time contest leaderboard and an auditable raffle.

The whole day ran paperless, with nothing installed on any phone.

A customer app for iOS and Android built with React Native against the live store: catalog, cart and checkout from the same inventory as the website.
