PLDT Enterprise and ePLDT has announced recently of the Intelligent Transformation in Retail with Google Cloud, Data, AI, and Managed Services through the Enterprise Workshop for Retail.

PLDT Enterprise, in partnership with ePLDT, hosted the Intelligent Enterprise Workshop for Retail, gathering industry leaders to explore how data, AI, and managed services can transform retail operations and customer experiences.

MANILA, Philippines — PLDT Enterprise, together with ePLDT, recently brought together decision-makers from top retail brands for the Intelligent Enterprise Workshop for Retail, with sessions on Google Cloud’s AI solutions. The event showed how data-driven insights, AI readiness, and managed services can unlock innovation and help retailers reimagine day-to-day operations — from inventory management to customer engagement.

The workshop, designed for retail leaders including CXOs, CMOs, and IT managers, addressed pressing challenges such as fragmented data systems, scalability issues, and the growing demand for secure and compliant AI-driven data strategies. By applying technology into real-world retail contexts, the session emphasized how AI and managed services can personalize shopping experiences while optimizing operational overhead.

A Commitment to Retail Innovation

At the event, PLDT Enterprise reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the evolving needs of Philippine retailers. Through ePLDT’s expertise in managed services, the initiative highlighted how businesses can move beyond legacy systems toward scalable, secure, and future-ready digital infrastructure.

“Today’s smart retailer is embracing a new era of shopping, blending human touch with technology to deliver a more tailored consumer experience,” said Corinne Funk-Zablan, Customer Relationship Management Head at PLDT Enterprise.

Jerry Dy, Technology Solutions Consultant at ePLDT, added: “In today’s fast-evolving retail landscape, managed services play a critical role in enabling data-driven and AI-powered transformation. By providing scalable infrastructure, continuous optimization, and expert support, managed services empower retailers to focus on innovation — unlocking real-time insights, enhancing customer experiences, and accelerating intelligent decision-making across the enterprise.”

Real-world AI-powered Use Cases

Through live discussions and case studies, the workshop demonstrated how Google Cloud’s integrated data analytics and AI platform helps retailers break down data silos, deliver real-time insights, and personalize the customer journey. Real-world examples—such as AI-powered supply chain optimization, predictive inventory, and smarter in-store experiences—showed how these technologies translate into faster service, stronger customer loyalty, and more resilient operations.

Participants also learned how Google Workspace with Gemini supports employees in day-to-day tasks by reducing administrative workloads and fostering collaboration across teams.

Future-Proofing the Industry

The workshop highlighted that while many retailers still face barriers in AI adoption, ranging from infrastructure gaps and data quality and security to skill readiness, solutions such as managed services, modernized data warehouse, and AI-powered analytics provide a clear path forward.

By convening retail leaders, PLDT Enterprise and ePLDT are accelerating AI adoption and shaping a retail industry that is smarter, more secure, and more responsive to the everyday needs of modern Filipino consumers.

Nabstract brings its expertise in secure network connections and API-based tools to help enterprises easily integrate anti-fraud systems, network performance management, and quality control solutions. This partnership provides businesses with access to next-generation network intelligence that enhances security and user experience.

Through the Service Exposure Platform (SEP) built into Smart’s network infrastructure, this partnership gives businesses access to next-generation security tools. Whether it’s banks preventing unauthorized access, e-commerce platforms reducing cart abandonment by removing OTP friction, or SMEs ensuring secure customer logins, these API-based innovations are helping build a stronger and more secure digital economy for the Philippines.

Smart Hacks To Help You Manage Your Money

Let ShopeePay reward you with zero fees and special deals so you can save more.

MANILA, FEBRUARY 4, 2022 — With all the household responsibilities, daily expenses, and, of course, shopping budols, saving money can be a challenging task — but it doesn’t have to be. If you incorporate these simple and easy tips into your lifestyle, you’ll see that small adjustments will add up and make a big impact on your finances.

Here are some practical hacks to help you get started:

Know your spending habits and choose the right platform for your needs.

For starters, understand your transactions and list down the things you usually spend money on such as groceries, utilities, and payments. Once you have those laid out, choose a financial platform that can complement your spending habits.

More Filipinos are finding ways to go digital with their errands these days, and e-wallets have been very useful when it comes to both online and offline transactions. When choosing an e-wallet, use one that affords you many benefits. ShopeePay, Shopee’s all-in-one e-wallet, has got you covered in terms of features and perks with no additional transaction charges. With ShopeePay, users can conveniently send money, buy load, pay bills, and scan to pay at stores nationwide. Activate and verify your ShopeePay account now to experience its countless features and services.

No transfer fees, more savings

Online transfers are quick and easy, and have become the norm; but some platforms charge fees that add to your expenses. Avoid paying transfer fees when you send money and make the most out of ShopeePay’s free and real time transfers for a hassle-free experience. This feature allows you to withdraw funds from your ShopeePay wallet to your bank account, or send money to your friends’ and family’s ShopeePay wallet or bank account. When sending money to any Shopee user, you can even personalize your transfers with themed virtual cards, fit for any occasion. “Here’s a gift for my favorite person” and “Dropping by to say I appreciate you!” are just some of the virtual cards you can use to make your transfers extra special! Whichever way you use this feature, transfers made with ShopeePay are free, instant, and available 24/7.

Transfer fees eat up a portion of your expenses which can be savings or used for necessities. When on a budget, it’s important to see what expenses are avoidable to help you save more. With ShopeePay, there’s no need to worry about any added fees when you need to transfer money. Plus, no need to stand in line at the bank for your cash transfers, so you get to save both time and money!

Take advantage of discounts and cashback promos when paying utilities.

On a monthly basis, we have expenses for water, electricity, load, internet, and more that we need to pay regularly. With these bills going up to thousands of pesos, it’s best to take advantage of whatever promos we can to lessen our expenses.

When you pay your bills online with ShopeePay, you can get up to 10% off on load across all networks and up to 25% cashback on your monthly bills from over 60 billers from partners such as Meralco, Maynilad, PLDT, Globe, Smart, Converge, and more.

Go cashless when going out to stick to your budget and score deals.

Another great tip for sticking to your budget is to only cash in your e-wallet with the amount you’ve set aside for expenses. Especially when going out to run errands, this lets you stay focused only on the things you need to purchase or pay for. To help you with this, ShopeePay offers free cash ins via InstaPay, where you can get up to ₱25 cashback on your InstaPay fee.

When shopping for essentials or favorite finds, make sure to check out discounted deals exclusively for ShopeePay. Browse the Shopee app daily to avail of ₱1 Deals on essentials and food via ShopeePay Near Me, and redeem your vouchers when you scan-to-pay with ShopeePay at partner merchants nationwide.
