At Fenix Commerce, we’ve been thinking a lot about Generative AI — not just what it can do, but what it demands from your organization in order to deliver on its promise.
Everyone wants to plug LLMs into their workflows. But here’s a truth we’ve seen over and over again, especially in eCommerce:
Most data is not AI-ready.
🧩 eCommerce Data is Messy by Nature
If you’ve ever tried to do anything ambitious with eCommerce data — you already know.
Data from Shopify, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, or Magento doesn’t just fall into your lap in a usable format. It comes through webhooks, APIs, and platform exports — often nested, unstandardized, or inconsistent in how it defines even the basics (like fulfillment status or timestamps).
Then there’s the relational chaos:
- An order needs to be linked to a customer
- A SKU must match the product catalog
- A shipment needs to reconcile with inventory snapshots, carrier scans, and warehouse logic
AI can’t guess its way through that.
🏗️ The Real Work: Data Modeling, Not Just Cleaning
The process of getting AI-ready isn’t just flattening JSON sor mapping columns. It’s about defining a data model that serves your current roadmap:
- Which fields do you store?
- At what frequency do you ingest and update them?
- How do you handle partial events?
- What do you keep? What do you purge?
For most companies, this data model was built years ago — usually to serve BI dashboards or basic order tracking.
But now we want real-time predictions. Prompt-based interfaces. Auto-generated alerts. The old model can’t stretch far enough.
🔁 At Fenix, GenAI Is the Excuse We Needed to Rebuild
We see our GenAI development — including some very exciting new products we’ll share soon — not just as an opportunity to layer intelligence over existing data…
…but to rethink the entire foundation.
That means:
- 🔔 Rewriting our alerting logic
- ⏱️ Rebalancing refresh cadence by data source
- 🧹 Revisiting deletion and retention policies
- 🔄 Rebuilding how fulfillment data moves from ingestion to analysis
And yes — re-architecting the data model itself, from the ground up, to reflect the questions our customers are asking today (not the questions we thought they’d ask five years ago).
🧠 GenAI Isn’t Magic — It’s Leverage
The potential of GenAI is incredible. But it can’t reason through chaos. If your underlying data isn’t reliable, complete, and well-structured — the model will reflect that.
That’s why we treat data modeling as a product in itself.
And if you’re serious about building with AI, you should too.
