MONTEREY PARK, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2026 / Maison Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq:MSS) ("Maison Solutions" or the "Company"), a specialty grocery retailer offering traditional Asian food and merchandise to U.S. consumers, today announced a strategic collaboration with SupplyAi, an AI-native product company focused on the physical food supply chain, and MiniMax, a leading global artificial intelligence company with multimodal and agentic AI capabilities, to explore AI-native solutions for the North American food retail and supply chain industry.
The contemplated collaboration is intended to allow the parties to explore AI solutions for food supply chain operators in North America, with a goal of supporting workflow automation, operational visibility, data-driven decision-making, customer enablement, and commercialization readiness across retail, wholesale, procurement, inventory, logistics, and related operating workflows.
The Company believes the food supply chain industry is entering a significant technology upgrade cycle, with growing opportunities to apply AI-driven automation, data intelligence, and workflow optimization across retail, wholesale, procurement, inventory, logistics, and customer-facing operations. By combining Maison Solutions' operating experience, customer relationships, and market access with SupplyAi's vertical AI product development capabilities and MiniMax's technical and integration support, the parties intend to explore practical AI applications that move beyond traditional chatbot-style tools and become embedded into daily operating workflows.
MiniMax's models are purpose-built for long-context tasks, multimodal reasoning, and enterprise-grade deployment across text, audio and video. These capabilities align directly with the ordering, procurement, sales operations and inventory workflows the collaboration intends to address.
The contemplated collaboration is expected to focus on:
-
Multimodal Workflows: Exploring the use of voice, image, text, and structured business data to support more natural and efficient interactions across ordering, product inquiry, inventory review, and customer communication.
-
AI-Native Food Supply Chain Operations: Evaluating AI-native workflows for procurement, inventory management, logistics, sales operations, customer service, product data management, and margin analysis.
-
Real-Time Decision Support: Developing tools designed to help operators analyze product movement, sales performance, margin trends, purchasing needs, customer demand, and operational risks.
