AI use cases for sales, retail and e-commerce
Three out of four Swiss SMEs use or test AI, but only about a third have really built it into their processes. The potential lies wherever the same work comes up every week. Typical use cases that can be put into practice in a single workshop:
Sales and key accounts
- Analyse and comment on retailers' sell-out data
- Prepare annual negotiations: arguments, terms, scenarios
- Quotes and follow-up emails in minutes instead of hours
- Turn notes into visit reports and CRM entries
Product and category management
- Range and competitor analyses
- Plan product launches: sales arguments, training material, timeline
- Sanity-check forecasts and explain deviations
- Evaluate pricing and promotions
Online shop and e-commerce
- Product texts and data fields from supplier information
- Multilingual product data for German, French and Italian
- Monitor stock and suggest reorders
- Pre-sort customer enquiries and draft replies
Purchasing, import and back office
- Match order confirmations and delivery dates
- Read invoices and delivery notes automatically
- Minutes, summaries and standard emails
- Create recurring reports automatically
Marketing and trade marketing
- Promotion and campaign ideas for retailers
- Copy for newsletters, social media and retailer updates
- Images and visuals for promotions
- Evaluate campaigns and record learnings
Management
- AI usage policy: which data may go into which tool
- Monthly and KPI reports at the push of a button
- Market and competitor monitoring
- Prepare decision papers and scenarios

What you get
- More time for customers. Your team handles recurring work in sales, product management, the online shop and the back office in a fraction of the time.
- Results on day one. We work with your own data and tasks. Your team leaves the workshop with ready-to-use templates and workflows.
- Safe, with clear rules. A clear AI usage policy, based on the Swiss Data Protection Act, shows which data may go into which tool.
- No big project. Fixed prices, workshops from half a day, implementation in two to three days. Afterwards your team carries on independently.
- Practice, not theory. The examples come from everyday retail work: sell-out analyses, forecasts, annual negotiations, product data and customer enquiries.

Frequently asked questions
Who is AIConsult.ch for?
For SMEs with 3 to 200 employees in Zurich and German-speaking Switzerland. My strongest background is in sales, retail and e-commerce, but the AI starter package and the training sessions work for any team that wants to use AI safely in everyday work.
How much does AI training for employees cost?
The AI starter package with training and an AI usage policy costs a flat CHF 2,400 for up to 12 people. The half-day workshop on AI in sales costs CHF 2,200, and automations start at CHF 3,800. The potential check is free.
Are workshops held in English?
Yes. Workshops and consulting are available in German and English, on site or remote.
Does my team need technical knowledge?
No. We work step by step with your own tasks and data. Anyone who can use Excel and email can take part.
Which AI tools do we use?
The tools that suit your company: current AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or Claude and, where it makes sense, automations that work with your existing systems. I am not tied to any vendor.
Where do the workshops take place?
On site in Zurich, Winterthur, Zug, Aargau, Bern, Basel and the rest of German-speaking Switzerland, or remote via Teams or Zoom.
How do we handle data protection?
We clarify which data may go into which tool and record this in a short AI usage policy based on the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG). This is not a substitute for legal advice.
Do you also support larger AI projects?
Yes. I deliberately start with compact formats so the benefit becomes visible quickly. For larger integration projects I work with specialised partners and support you along the way.
