Low-code – what’s behind it?

Patryk Szetela

2 September 2022

Low-code is a trend, that has recently become exceptionally visible and is breaking through to our awareness in the IT industry. But what is behind such a concept?

You probably heard the concept of Low-code, which has recently become more and more popular in the IT industry. But what is behind such a slogan? It is about creating services, digital products, solutions without the need to know programming languages or with basic knowledge of them. Low-code tools allow you to create most of the processes, components, logic, e.g. based on ready-made templates or patterns. They can also be tools in which we give some logic using a simple functional language.

With the help of low-code tools, each employee can become a developer capable of creating applications, automating flows, analyzing and moving data. This allows you to create dozens of applications in any company with minimal costs.

We have had contact with low-code tools for a long time, but more and more often they are treated not only as tools supporting IT projects, but also as tools allowing to build full-fledged and functional solutions.

In the future, low-code-based programming platforms will bridge the gap between the growing demand for employee IT experience and the limited number of IT specialists, who could create the required tools.

According to the Gartner and Forrester Reports, by the end of 2024 65%-70% of applications developed for business will be implemented in Low Code / No Code.

It is predicted that 500 million new applications will be created by 2024 – more than in the last 40 years!

At TTMS, we specialize in two low-code platforms: PowerApps and Webcon. On their example, we will try to explain what low-code is, where it applies and how it differs from the traditional approach, i.e. code.

Above you can see the comparison of the Microsoft Power Fx formula with the equivalent in Javascript. Microsoft Power Fx is the formula language name for the canvas app in Power Apps. Power Fx describes the business logic in formulas. The logic can be hidden down to a single line, but still has plenty of scope for more complex needs. For example, to search for the name of a salaried employee for an order, write the Power Fx formula as shown in the picture.

WEBCON BPS is an example of a low-code platform. It is a solution especially for large companies and corporations looking for a workflow system for electronic document circulation or digitization and automation of business processes. WEBCON BPS allows you to quickly build business applications without coding.

It also allows for flexible and trouble-free adaptation to changing needs, thanks to the perspective of introducing changes even in already running applications. This makes it possible to change the process logic, data schemas and the appearance of the forms. Updates will be available immediately to all users.

Rules are a form of universal logic. They are used in forms to determine whether a field should be visible. They are useful for automatically filling fields with data. Internal business rules and external form rules are easy to define and readable. They can also be refined with SQL queries, .NET code or JavaScript. It can be said that low-code does not exclude code.

In Webcon, building a process without coding is possible thanks to the graphical workflow wizard (WEBCON BPS Designer Studio tool). Design begins by drawing the flow and creating steps. The graphical wizard allows you to manually set the workflow elements, establish the business logic of the workflow, define steps and define actions. It also allows you to assign tasks to be carried out and identify people responsible for them. By default, the diagram of each created project contains two steps (start and end) connected by one path. During the design phase, you can add any number of intermediate steps and connect them with paths. You can also define workflow control steps in which a decision about the further flow will be made based on a certain condition. InstantChange technology allows you to build real-time workflows and modify them as soon as you receive feedback from end users.

The graphical form builder allows you to create dynamic forms without coding. It allows for custom validations, hiding fields, requiring filling, using data from the company’s ERP and other systems, collecting files, e-mails and reports in one place, creating comprehensive forms that help end users to work effectively. Individual form attributes can be placed by drag-and-drop in four panels – the top and bottom panels that take up the entire width of the form, and the right and left panels that take up half the width of the form. WEBCON BPS enforces standardization, thanks to which each application looks and behaves similarly. Thanks to the InstantChange technology, you can make any changes to the layout of fields and entire forms.

After defining the steps in the graphical workflow wizard and the attributes in the form wizard, you need to complete the attributes matrix, which defines the visibility, editability and necessity of each field. The editor is divided into tabs corresponding to the areas of the form: top, left, right and bottom panels. The order of the attributes on the matrix corresponds to the order in which they were previously placed on the form. The checkbox columns are responsible for:

  • Blue – visibility – whether the attribute is / is not displayed on the form in a given step
  • Green – editable – whether the change of the attribute value is / is not possible in a given step
  • Red – required – whether the attribute is / is not required in a given step

Narzędzia typu low-code są szczególnie użyteczne w czasach pogoni za zwiększeniem efektywności przez przedsiębiorstwa, instytucje oraz ich pracowników. Znajdują swoje zastosowanie, gdy chcemy usprawnić funkcjonowanie zachodzących w niej procesów oraz mieć możliwość ich rozwoju. W przypadku koniecznych modyfikacji nie będzie potrzebna zmiana struktury kodu, co przyspiesza i ułatwia cały proces. Za ich pomocą można usprawnić działanie procesów w takich obszarach jak:

  • administration,
  • staff,
  • sale,
  • marketing,
  • finances,
  • IT,
  • and others, also “specific”.

WEBCON BPS is a low-code solution that allows you to quickly build business applications without writing code. Defining workflow diagrams in the process is flexible and takes place on a running system. The business rules engine allows you to create universal expressions and conditions that control the behavior of processes. A similar tool is a solution from Microsoft – Power Platform.

12 Most Useful ChatGPT Plugins in 2025

12 Most Useful ChatGPT Plugins in 2025

12 Most Useful ChatGPT Plugins in 2025 – Comprehensive List, Installation Guide, and Why Use Them Since OpenAI enabled the installation and use of plugins in ChatGPT, dozens of tools have appeared that can significantly improve our daily work. What are plugins? These are integrations with external services and applications, thanks to which ChatGPT gains new functions: for example, it can search the Internet, create graphics, perform advanced calculations or book a table in a restaurant. Below you will find an overview of those that are particularly popular and useful. Why even use plugins in ChatGPT? One environment – You don’t have to switch between apps, accounts, or browser tabs. Everything happens in the same conversation with ChatGPT. Better context – ChatGPT knows the content you’re working on. If you first ask for a draft article and then fire up a graphics plugin (like DALL-E or Canva), you already have a ready-made context in the same conversation. Faster workflow – You can create, edit, test, and finalize tasks in a single “flow.” Time savings – No more copying texts, downloading files, or logging into external services; in many cases, just one-time plugin authorization is enough. Of course, for advanced features you’ll often want the “full” version of a given tool (e.g., extended design features in Canva). But if your needs are quick and routine, ChatGPT plugins can be a real game-changer. How to install plugins in ChatGPT? Currently, official access to plugins is provided only to ChatGPT Plus users. To install a plugin: Log in to your ChatGPT Plus account. In the sidebar (on the left) or top bar, select “Plugins” (or “Plugin Store”). Browse the list of available plugins and click “Install” (or “Enable”). In some cases, you may see a prompt to authorize or sign up for the service. After successful installation, the plugin will be visible in your ChatGPT interface, often where you select the GPT model or near the prompt input field. What about browser extensions (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge)? Many people refer to various browser extensions as “ChatGPT plugins.” These extensions improve your ChatGPT workflow (e.g., offering ready-made prompts, generating text summaries on any webpage), but you install them through the Chrome Web Store (or a similar repository for Firefox/Edge), not inside ChatGPT itself. Quick instructions: Visit the Chrome Web Store (or an equivalent for Firefox/Edge). Search for the extension (e.g., “AIPRM for ChatGPT”). Click “Add to Chrome” (or “Add to Firefox”) and accept the permissions. After installing, the extension will appear in your browser—possibly enhancing your ChatGPT interface or enabling ChatGPT interactions on other websites. What are the most useful plugins for ChatGPT? 1. Code Interpreter (official ChatGPT plugin) What does it do? Lets ChatGPT run code in a Python environment and analyze data. Supports uploading files (CSV, PDF, images) and processing them (e.g., generating charts, converting file formats, performing statistical tasks). Use cases: Quick data analysis: no need to open a Jupyter Notebook or another IDE. Processing large files: converting a PDF to text, merging multiple CSV files into one, aggregating statistics. Creating charts: ChatGPT can immediately produce a histogram or scatter plot from your uploaded data. Who is it for? – Developers, data analysts, students, researchers, anyone working with numbers and files. Difference vs. “regular” Python – You don’t need a separate IDE, nor do you need to write your code line by line. In one conversation, you can say, “Could you analyze a .csv file of my sales data?” upload it, and get a summary without leaving ChatGPT. 2. Wolfram (official ChatGPT plugin) What does it do? Provides access to Wolfram’s computational engine, enabling symbolic math, advanced statistics, plotting, and scientific calculations. Use cases: Solving differential equations and integrals. Statistical analyses (regressions, hypothesis testing). Generating function plots (2D, 3D), mathematical visualizations. Who is it for? – Students and enthusiasts of STEM, engineers, researchers. Difference vs. “regular” Wolfram|Alpha – Instead of opening a separate Wolfram|Alpha page and typing formulas, you have it right in ChatGPT. You can conduct a scientific discussion with ChatGPT and simultaneously run computations in Wolfram within the same conversation. Curious about building a fully personalized AI-driven environment? Head over to AI Solutions for Business and find out how we can integrate advanced plugins directly into your existing processes. 4. DALL-E (official ChatGPT plugin) What does it do? Generates images from text prompts, utilizing OpenAI’s DALL-E model. Creates unique illustrations, graphics, and mockups upon request. Use cases: Quick image creation for social media or blog posts. Artistic inspiration: “Show me a futuristic city in cyberpunk style.” Visual prototypes for products or logos (noting DALL-E’s limitations in precise brand/logo creation). Who is it for? – Content creators, designers, marketers, anyone seeking visual inspiration. Difference vs. “regular” DALL-E – No separate visit to labs.openai.com or additional login is required. In your ChatGPT conversation, you might first ask for a slogan, then immediately request a matching graphic. It all happens in one thread.   5. Canva (official ChatGPT plugin) What does it do? Integrates ChatGPT with Canva, a design platform offering hundreds of templates and graphical elements. Lets you create and edit projects (e.g., social media posts, infographics, business cards) directly within the chat window. Use cases: E-book cover design: “Design an e-book cover about productivity, using pastel colors and minimalist icons.” Infographics: “Create an infographic with five advantages of hybrid work.” Slides and presentations: “Prepare a five-slide presentation on social media marketing.” Who is it for? – Marketers, bloggers, educators, small business owners—anyone needing quick graphic designs. Difference vs. the “standard” Canva editor – Rather than opening Canva in a new tab and searching for templates, you can create text (e.g., flyer copy) in a single chat thread and have ChatGPT automatically format it into a Canva design. ChatGPT “remembers” what you generated and tailors the style and layout accordingly. 6. AI Humanizer Pro (official ChatGPT plugin) What does it do? “Humanizes” or edits text, giving it a more natural, friendly, or tailored style (casual, formal, humorous, emotional). You can specify the degree of “informality” or “formality” you want. Use cases: Editing articles: transitioning from a highly formal style to a more casual, blog-like tone. Preparing newsletters: adding slight humor, emojis, and engaging phrases. Personalization: adjusting tone to fit your audience (e.g., teens vs. corporate managers). Who is it for? – Copywriters, marketers, bloggers, authors of all kinds of written content. Difference vs. “regular” proofreading tools – Standard proofreading solutions fix errors but don’t necessarily adjust the text’s style to be more “human.” AI Humanizer Pro does this in the context of your chat session, knowing previous text fragments and ChatGPT’s suggestions, ensuring consistency. Looking to take your AI strategy to the next level? Our team specializes in end-to-end ChatGPT implementations. Learn more at AI Solutions for Business and let’s start innovating together! 11. YouTube Summary with ChatGPT (browser extension) What does it do? With one click, it generates a summary of any YouTube video (webinar, lecture, review). Integrates with ChatGPT, automatically supplying the transcription for AI to analyze. Use cases: Quick previews of lectures: if you don’t have time to watch a 1-hour talk, you get the main points. Isolating key moments from product reviews or tutorials. Who is it for? – Anyone who often watches educational videos, tutorials, or product reviews and wants to save time. Installation: Also via the Chrome Web Store (or other extension stores). Once installed, a button to generate summaries appears next to the YouTube player. Difference vs. watching on your own – You can get a summary in seconds, then decide whether the entire video is worth watching. 12. Summarizer (official ChatGPT plugin) What does it do? Comprehensive Summarization: provides detailed summaries of books, articles, videos, websites, and other text-based content, breaking them into key points, conclusions, and actionable insights for better understanding Educational Tools and Analysis: creates quizzes, flashcards, tables, diagrams, and in-depth articles to help users learn, analyze, and retain information effectively. Use cases: Long-form industry articles: quickly see if the content is relevant. News and media: a brief overview of a news piece to decide if you want to delve deeper. Who is it for? – People who read a lot online: journalists, researchers, students, marketers. Difference vs. reading everything yourself – Instead of scrolling through large texts, you get the main ideas first. If it’s interesting, you can then dive into details. How to choose the best plugins? Define your tasks: Data analysis → Code Interpreter, Wolfram Content & graphic creation → DALL-E, Canva, AI Humanizer Pro SEO / Marketing / Automation → AIPRM (extension), Zapier Travel / shopping / reservations → Kayak, Expedia, OpenTable, Instacart Working with documents → AskYourPDF (PDF), Summarize (articles), YouTube Summary (videos) Check the type: Official ChatGPT plugin – install from the “Plugin Store” (requires ChatGPT Plus). Browser extension (e.g., Chrome) – install from browser add-on stores (e.g., Chrome Web Store). Mind the limits: Some (like DALL-E) have monthly quotas on image generation in the free tier. Zapier’s free version has a limited number of Zaps. AskYourPDF might limit the file size. Paid plans: A premium account may be needed for full functionality in some services (e.g., Canva, Wolfram|Alpha). ChatGPT Plugins are available only on the ChatGPT Plus plan. Conclusion ChatGPT plugins (installed directly in ChatGPT) and browser extensions (installed via the Chrome Web Store or similar) significantly enhance your AI-assisted workflow. Instead of juggling multiple apps or pasting text from one tool to another, you can stay in one conversational ecosystem.

Our team specializes in building and integrating ChatGPT plugins and other AI-driven solutions tailored to your unique needs. Check out our dedicated page at AI Solutions for Business and discover how we can help transform your everyday workflows. Do I need to pay for ChatGPT plugins, or are there free options available? Some plugins offer basic functionalities for free but may come with certain limits (e.g., a monthly generation cap). Others require a premium subscription to specific services (such as Canva or Wolfram). It’s worthwhile to check the terms for each plugin—sometimes you can use core features at no cost, while more advanced functionalities might be paid. Do ChatGPT plugins also work on mobile devices? In most cases, yes. If you’re accessing ChatGPT in a web browser on your smartphone or tablet, you should be able to use plugins (especially the official ones) once you’re logged into your ChatGPT Plus account. However, certain browser extensions might not work on mobile versions of Chrome or Safari. Always refer to the plugin’s documentation or description to confirm mobile compatibility. Can ChatGPT plugins slow down ChatGPT’s performance? Generally, you won’t notice any major slowdown. Only large or poorly optimized plugins might prolong response times. If you run multiple plugins simultaneously or upload sizable files (e.g., PDFs or large data sets), it could lead to slightly longer processing times. What are the most common issues with installing ChatGPT plugins, and how do I troubleshoot them? The most frequent problems include not having the correct plan (ChatGPT Plus is required), incorrect authorization for the external service, or conflicts with ad blockers or other browser extensions. Always ensure you’re logged into the right account, verify plugin permissions in the plugin panel, and disable any conflicting extensions in your browser if needed. Are ChatGPT plugins updated automatically, or do I need to update them manually? Official ChatGPT plugins typically update themselves whenever OpenAI or the plugin developer makes changes to the code. Browser extensions (like those for Chrome) also usually update automatically. However, it’s a good idea to periodically check the “Manage Plugins” section in ChatGPT or your browser’s extension settings to stay informed about the latest versions or release notes.

Learn About Chat GPT Security Risks and How to Protect Your Company’s Data

Learn About Chat GPT Security Risks and How to Protect Your Company’s Data

AI is reshaping how we work, and ChatGPT is at the forefront of this revolution. But here’s the catch – while it’s an incredibly powerful tool, it comes with its share of risks. Think about this: it is not question if, but when, your organization run into security issues because of using AI. So, let’s tackle the big question head-on: should you be worried about ChatGPT’s security? We’ll walk through the real risks and show you practical ways to keep your company’s data safe. 1. Introduction to ChatGPT and its potential vulnerabilities ChatGPT is like a double-edged sword. On one side, it’s amazing at helping businesses get things done – from writing to analysis to problem-solving. But on the flip side, this same ability to process information can create security weak spots. The main issue? When your team puts company information into ChatGPT, that data goes through OpenAI’s servers. It’s like sending your business secrets through someone else’s mail room – you need to be sure it’s handled right. Plus, there’s always a chance that bits of information from one conversation might pop up in another user’s chat, which isn’t great for keeping secrets secret. 2. Common Security Risks Associated with ChatGPT Let’s get real about the risks. Here’s something eye-opening: nearly 90% of people think chatbots like ChatGPT could be used for harmful purposes. That’s not just paranoia – it’s a wake-up call. 2.1 Prompt Injection Attacks: What They Are and How to Stop Them Prompt injection attacks happen when someone tricks ChatGPT into sharing information it shouldn’t. This is done by creating sneaky messages to exploit the system. The solution? Carefully check inputs and keep an eye on how people use the system. 2.2. Data Poisoning: Protecting Model Integrity Data poisoning is like contaminating a water supply – but for AI. If attackers mess with the training data, they can make ChatGPT give wrong or harmful answers. Regular checkups and strong data validation help catch these problems early. 2.3 Model Inversion Attacks and Privacy Implications Here’s a scary stat: 4% of employees admit they’ve fed sensitive information into ChatGPT. Model inversion attacks try to reverse-engineer this kind of training data, potentially exposing private information. 2.4 Adversarial Attacks: How they Compromise AI Reliability Adversarial attacks are like spotting ChatGPT’s weak points and taking advantage of them. These attacks can cause the system to provide incorrect answers, which might seriously impact your business decisions. 2.5 Data Leakage: Protecting Sensitive Information Data leakage is probably the biggest headache for businesses using ChatGPT. It’s crucial to have strong guards in place to keep private information private. 2.6 Phishing and Social Engineering: Risks and Prevention Here’s something worrying: 80% of people believe cybercriminals are already using ChatGPT for scams. The AI can help create super convincing phishing attempts that are hard to spot. 2.7 Unauthorized Access and Control Measures Just like you wouldn’t let strangers walk into your office, you need strong security at ChatGPT’s door. Good authentication and access controls are must-haves. 2.8 Denial of Service Attacks: Prevention Techniques These attacks try to crash your ChatGPT system by overwhelming it. Think of it like too many people trying to get through one door – you need crowd control measures to keep things running smoothly. 2.9 Misinformation and Bias Amplification: Ensuring Accuracy ChatGPT can sometimes spread incorrect information or amplify existing biases. Regular fact-checking and bias monitoring help keep outputs reliable. 2.10 Malicious Fine-Tuning and its Consequences If someone tampers with how ChatGPT is trained, it can start giving bad advice or making wrong decisions. You need secure update processes and constant monitoring to prevent this. 3. Impact of ChatGPT Security Risks on Organizations When AI goes wrong, it can hit your business hard in several ways. Let’s look at what’s really at stake. 3.1 Potential Data Breaches and Financial Losses Data breaches aren’t just about losing information – they can empty your wallet too. Between fixing the breach, paying fines, and dealing with legal issues, the costs add up fast. Smart businesses invest in prevention because cleaning up after a security mess is way more expensive. 3.2 Reputational Damage and Public Trust Issues Your reputation is like a house of cards – one security incident can make it all come tumbling down. Today’s customers care a lot about how companies handle their data. Mess that up, and you might lose their trust for good. 3.3 Operational Disruptions and Recovery Challenges When security goes wrong with ChatGPT, it can throw a wrench in your whole operation. Getting back to normal takes time, money, and lots of effort. You need to think about: Dealing with immediate system shutdowns Finding and fixing what went wrong Setting up better security Getting your team up to speed on new safety measures Making up for lost business during recovery Having a solid plan for when things go wrong is just as important as trying to prevent problems in the first place. 4. Best Practices for Securing ChatGPT Implementations Want to use ChatGPT safely? Here’s how to do it right. 4.1 Robust Input Validation and Output Filtering Think of this as having a bouncer at the door. You need to: Check what goes in Filter what comes out Keep track of who’s talking to ChatGPT Watch for anything suspicious 4.2 Implementing Access Control and User Authentication Lock it down tight with: Multiple ways to verify users Clear rules about who can do what Detailed records of who’s using the system Regular checks on who has access 4.3 Secure Deployment and Network Protections Protect your ChatGPT setup with: Encrypted connections Secure access points Network separation Strong firewalls Solid backup plans 4.4 Regular Audits and Threat Monitoring Keep your eyes peeled by: Checking security regularly Watching for weird behavior Looking at how people use the system Updating security when needed Following industry rules 4.5 Employee Training and Awareness Programs The truth is that most employees do not know how to safely use ChatGPT. It is a very convenient tool that significantly speeds up work. However, the temptation to work easily and quickly is so strong that employees often forget even the basic principles of maintaining security when using ChatGPT. Good training should include: Regular security updates Hands-on practice Info about new threats Clear rules for handling sensitive stuff Written security guidelines 5. Conclusion: Balancing Innovation and Security with ChatGPT Using ChatGPT safely isn’t about choosing between innovation and security – you need both. Think of security as your safety net that lets you try bold new things without falling flat. The companies that get this right are the ones that’ll make the most of AI while keeping their data safe. Remember, security isn’t a one-and-done deal. It’s something you need to work on constantly as technology changes. Stay on top of it, and you’ll be ready for whatever comes next in the AI world.

How AI in the FMCG Industry Is Shaping Transformation and Innovation

The Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector is experiencing a game-changing transformation thanks to artificial intelligence. With the global generative AI market in FMCG set to grow from $7.9 billion in 2023 to $57.7 billion by 2033, it’s clear that AI isn’t just another tech trend – it’s fundamentally changing how consumer goods companies work, create, and deliver value to customers. This impressive growth rate of 22% shows just how quickly FMCG companies are embracing AI to improve their business. 1. Understanding AI in the FMCG Industry In the FMCG world, AI combines smart machine learning, data analysis, and automation to make businesses run better. Think of it as a super-powered brain that can process huge amounts of information about consumers, market trends, and business operations to help companies make smarter decisions. AI does much more than just automate basic tasks. It helps companies predict what customers will want next, keep their supply chains running smoothly, and create marketing campaigns that really connect with specific groups of customers. From making sure products are always in stock to setting the right prices at the right time, AI turns old-school FMCG operations into smart, data-driven processes. For FMCG companies, AI is like having a crystal ball that helps them stay ahead of the competition. It helps cut costs, make customers happier, and develop better products. By spotting patterns in how people shop and how markets change, AI helps brands adapt quickly to new trends and changing customer needs. The real power of AI in FMCG lies in how it connects what customers want with what businesses can deliver. Using advanced analytics and machine learning, companies can now understand and respond to customer needs faster and more effectively than ever before, creating a more dynamic and efficient marketplace. What’s more, AI is cutting costs and doing so effectively. Interested? 2. Exploring the Impact of AI on Processes in the FMCG Industry AI is completely changing how FMCG companies do business. By streamlining supply chains, predicting consumer trends, and personalizing marketing strategies, it enables businesses to adapt quickly to market changes. This rapid adoption highlights how the industry is embracing digital technology to remain competitive. 2.1 AI in Product Innovation and Development AI is revolutionizing how new products are created by analyzing vast amounts of customer feedback, market trends, and competitor information. This helps companies spot gaps in the market and develop products that people really want. The technology speeds up product development by testing different formulas and predicting how well they’ll sell before actually making anything. This saves time and money on product testing while reducing the chance that new products will fail in the market. 2.2 Supply Chain Optimization with AI AI makes supply chains smarter by creating self-adjusting networks that respond to market changes in real-time. It helps FMCG companies spot and fix potential supply chain problems before they happen, ensuring products flow smoothly from supplier to factory and from factory to consumer. This smart technology keeps track of inventory, makes warehouses more efficient, and helps companies work better with suppliers and distributors. The result? Lower costs, faster deliveries, and a supply chain that can handle unexpected challenges. The stock is much more optimized with less wastes. 2.3 Personalized Marketing and Consumer Insights AI is changing the marketing game by making it truly personal. It looks at how people behave online, what they say on social media, and what they buy to help create marketing campaigns that really speak to different customer groups. These AI-powered insights help companies recommend the right products to the right people, set better prices, and create experiences that customers love. This leads to happier customers who stick with the brand and buy more. 2.4 Demand Forecasting and Inventory Precision AI has turned demand forecasting from guesswork into a science. By looking at past sales, seasonal patterns, economic factors, and even weather forecasts, AI can predict future demand with amazing accuracy. This better forecasting helps FMCG companies keep just the right amount of stock, reduce storage costs, and waste less product. It ensures products are available when customers want them while keeping operational costs down. 2.5 Sustainable Practices through AI In today’s environmentally conscious world, AI helps FMCG companies become more sustainable. It helps use resources more efficiently, reduce energy use, and design packaging that’s better for the environment. AI keeps track of environmental impact throughout the supply chain, from where materials come from to how products are delivered. This helps companies make choices that are good for both profits and the planet, meeting growing customer demand for sustainable products. 3. Challenges and Considerations in Implementing AI While AI offers amazing opportunities for FMCG companies, getting it right comes with some hurdles. Let’s look at what companies need to think about when bringing AI into their business. 3.1 Overcoming Technological and Social Barriers Many companies face a basic challenge: their old systems don’t play well with new AI technology. It’s like trying to run modern apps on an old computer – you need to upgrade the whole system first. Then there’s the human side of things. People often worry about how AI will affect their jobs, and some might resist the change. Companies need to invest in good training programs and help their teams understand how AI can make their work better, not replace them. Finding people who know both AI and the FMCG industry is another challenge. It’s not enough to just know the technology – you need people who understand how it applies to selling consumer goods. Companies need smart strategies to find and keep these talented professionals. 3.2 Safeguarding Privacy and Managing Data Security Keeping data safe isn’t just about having good security – it’s about building trust. FMCG companies need strong security measures that protect both business information and customer data while following privacy laws in different countries. Companies need to find the right balance between using customer data to improve services and respecting privacy. This means being clear about how they use data and making sure customers feel comfortable with their practices. 3.3 Cost and ROI Considerations for AI Investments Let’s be honest – implementing AI isn’t cheap. Companies need to think carefully about the costs of new technology, upgrading systems, and hiring experts. But they also need to look at the big picture of what AI can deliver. When measuring success, it’s not just about immediate financial returns. Better customer satisfaction, more efficient operations, and staying ahead of competitors are all important benefits to consider. Starting small with pilot projects and proving value before scaling up is often the smartest approach. Companies should plan for unexpected costs and ongoing maintenance. Regular checks to see if AI projects are delivering value help ensure the investment is worthwhile and allow for adjustments when needed. 4. Final Thoughts and Actionable Steps Embracing AI isn’t just an option anymore – it’s essential for FMCG companies that want to stay competitive. Here’s how to make it work. 4.1 Adopting AI to Improve Competitive Advantage In today’s fast-moving market, AI gives FMCG companies an edge. By using AI-driven insights, businesses can spot market changes faster, run more efficiently, and give customers better experiences that set them apart from competitors.
