Crisp introduces Halo for on-premise retail AI in CPG and distribution

Halo’s architecture emphasizes vertical AI, cleaning and enriching retail data (e.g., retailer calendars, product hierarchies, fill rates) before analysis. It offers two main modules: Central Desk for portfolio-wide strategy and Customer Desk for retailer-specific decisions. The platform supports conversational queries, recurring reports, workflow automation, and custom applications while ensuring traceability of recommendations to source data. Deployment options include hosted or on-premise setups, with proprietary data remaining within the customer’s environment, though operational logs may be shared with Crisp’s systems.
