How It Works

Lightspeed to AI in three steps

LightspeedRaw Data SourceGN MCPNormalize + EnrichAES-256 + PseudonymizeAI Agents15 MCP Tools
The Problem

Lightspeed powers transactions across retail and restaurants, but commerce data alone can't explain customer behavior in physical spaces. Understanding the journey from door to checkout requires spatial context.

The Solution
  • Sales and inventory analytics via Lightspeed API
  • Customer profile and purchase frequency tracking
  • Employee performance metrics and shift analytics
  • Multi-location retail and restaurant comparisons
  • Commerce data correlated with occupancy patterns
