Ekyam has launched its Retail Intelligence Operating System (riOS) on Google Cloud Marketplace, providing retailers with a streamlined path to unify their fragmented data systems. This move aims to help organizations establish a standardized, AI-ready data foundation essential for deploying advanced applications like natural language-driven analytics and operational assistants to transform business performance.
Ekyam launches its riOS retail data platform on Google Cloud Marketplace.
The platform unifies fragmented retail systems into a single, standardized data layer.
It provides universal connectors, a canonical data model, and a semantic knowledge graph.
The goal is to accelerate AI readiness for merchandising, planning, fulfillment, and CX.
The platform enables AI-powered insights and natural language-driven operations.
This collaboration offers retailers a managed path to deploy AI-driven operations on Google Cloud.
Retailers often struggle with operational inefficiencies caused by fragmented technology stacks, where each system uses different data formats and definitions. This fragmentation hinders real-time visibility, complicates forecasting, and prevents effective AI implementation. Ekyam's riOS directly addresses this challenge by offering universal connectors for leading retail systems, a canonical data model to standardize key information, and a semantic layer with a knowledge graph to contextualize data relationships across the value chain.
The platform is designed to eliminate the need for custom integration builds, reducing engineering overhead and accelerating the creation of a single source of truth. Mariah Chase, CEO of Ekyam, emphasized the foundational need for quality data, stating, “Retailers need connected, standardized and contextualized data before AI can deliver on its promise. Our collaboration with Google Cloud helps accelerate that journey by giving brands an enterprise-ready platform to unify their data and activate AI across their business from day one.”
By making riOS available on Google Cloud Marketplace, Ekyam provides a managed and scalable route for retailers to consolidate siloed data and modernize their infrastructure without lengthy architectural overhauls. The unified data layer enables the deployment of advanced AI applications, including GPT-based operational assistants and predictive workflows that can be directed using natural language commands.
Dai Vu, Managing Director, Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs at Google Cloud, highlighted the partnership's benefits, saying, “Bringing Ekyam to Google Cloud Marketplace will help customers quickly deploy, manage, and grow the company’s unified retail data platform on Google Cloud’s trusted, global infrastructure. Ekyam can now securely scale and support companies using its riOS solution to enable AI-driven operations for modern retail across their Google Cloud environments.”
The platform’s semantic standardization and chronicle model ensure data integrity and temporal awareness, which are critical for accurate advanced analytics and reliable AI-driven operations. This approach allows retailers to move towards successful agentic commerce—where AI systems can autonomously execute operational tasks—by first solving the core data unification problem.
