LG Uplus, Sodomall team up to develop AI solutions for small businesses

Korean telecommunications giant LG Uplus and wholesale-retail distribution platform Sodomall have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on artificial intelligence (AI) transformation solutions for small businesses. Sodomall operates nationwide group-buying stores that sell groceries and daily necessities at wholesale prices.

The joint venture aims to develop AI and telecom solutions for in-store use, enabling small merchants to expand their sales channels and discover new business opportunities to rejuvenate local commercial districts.

LG Uplus plans to leverage its telecom infrastructure and AI capabilities alongside Sodomall's online and offline distribution data to assist individual merchants in forecasting product demand. Specifically, the companies will pilot a solution that integrates LG Uplus' Uri Gage Package, a communications and AI solution designed for small businesses, with Sodomall's regional sales analysis feature.

This partnership seeks to empower small business owners by providing them with advanced AI-driven tools to better understand their market and optimize their operations.
