Shoptelligence, a data and analytics company in home furnishings, announced the launch of ShopLab AI and ShopLaunch AI, the first two products in its new VendorSense IQ Suite, a purpose-built intelligence platform designed to help manufacturers and vendors make smarter, faster, and more confident product and go-to-market decisions.
Together, ShopLab AI and ShopLaunch AI address two of the most expensive and persistent challenges facing manufacturers and vendors today: deciding what to build and deciding where and how to scale it. The suite brings real consumer demand signals, advanced analytics, and closed-loop measurement into a single system, replacing guesswork, lagging sales data, and reactive decision-making with forward-looking insight.
Solving the Costliest Blind Spots in Product and Market Decisions
Manufacturers invest millions each year in product development, inventory, and dealer expansion, often without clear visibility into what customers actually want or where demand will materialize. The result is missed launches, slow sell-through, excess inventory, margin erosion, and strained dealer relationships.
VendorSense IQ Suite was built to change that.
ShopLab AI helps vendors identify, design, and validate new products using real consumer demand (before development begins).
ShopLaunch AI helps vendors optimize where and how products perform across markets and dealer networks at launch and beyond.
Together, they provide an end-to-end decision framework that connects demand intelligence, product validation, market prioritization, and performance measurement.
Built on Data, Not Theory
Both ShopLab AI and ShopLaunch AI are powered by more than 10 years of data capturing how real customers browse, search, and engage with products across markets. Shoptelligence’s platform is built on the same analytics, reporting, and demand-modeling expertise that has guided product, inventory, and marketing decisions across the retail ecosystem for over a decade, supporting outcomes that have influenced hundreds of millions of dollars in industry revenue.
“This isn’t theoretical AI or generic trend analysis,” said David Wysocki, a Shoptelligence product leader. “It’s applied intelligence, grounded in real consumer behavior, built by people who know retail, and designed to answer the hardest questions manufacturers face before the money is already spent.”
The VendorSense IQ Vision
ShopLab AI and ShopLaunch AI represent the first phase of VendorSense IQ, Shoptelligence’s broader vision for a unified intelligence suite that helps manufacturers and vendors operate with clarity, confidence, and accountability across the entire product lifecycle.
Future modules will continue to expand the suite’s capabilities—deepening insight, strengthening dealer collaboration, and enabling smarter, faster decisions at every stage of growth.
Both ShopLab AI and ShopLaunch AI are available in January, 2026.
