CDE Solutions and Bodega AI Launch AI-Powered POS for Small Retailers

The partnership integrates Bodega AI’s intelligence with CDE Solutions' extensive payment infrastructure, which currently serves over 25,000 retailers nationwide. By processing data on inventory movement and customer purchasing habits, the software offers direct recommendations on product stocking and merchandising. The goal is to move beyond passive data collection, allowing owners to identify slow-moving inventory and uncover revenue gaps that previously required manual analysis.

For store owners, this means shifting away from traditional registers toward a system that includes EBT SNAP processing alongside predictive analytics. Jason Diaz, founder of Bodega AI, noted that many merchants currently operate with tools that record sales but fail to offer actionable direction. With this system, the companies aim to provide guidance on what to carry and what to drop, effectively acting as a virtual consultant for independent operators navigating rising labor and supply costs.
