Industries

Retail & distribution

Connect demand, inventory and sales to support ordering and merchandising, accounting for local conditions, sales opportunities and the customer experience.

Point of View

Connect sales opportunities to inventory decisions.

Bring together best-sellers, stock imbalances, seasonality, promotions and local differences to support ordering and assortment decisions. Help teams adjust while considering both stockouts and excess inventory.

ASSET LEVERAGE THESIS

Inventory creates value when it reaches customers. Consider sales opportunities, slow-moving stock and replenishment effort to support the use of working capital and selling space.

Our Approach

Merchant Intuition and Demand Intelligence Resonate
Driving Higher Gross Margins, Inventory Turns & LTV

We go beyond static historical averages by combining store-level context, weather/event signals, and buyer expertise into actionable replenishment, allocation, and promotional workflows that improve both gross margin and inventory turnover.

  1. 01 / Unified Product, Store & Customer Graph

    SKU, Store Context & Customer Graph

    Connects product substitutability, store demographics, and buying patterns into a unified view. By connecting "POS transactions, inventory & replenishment logs" (SKU- and store-level sales velocity and stock positions) directly into "Accurate, Low-Effort Ordering & Allocation", we ensure "Focuses staff attention on exception SKUs while automating routine replenishment".

  2. 02 / Demand, Allocation & Markdown Engine

    Replenishment, Allocation & Markdown Support

    Balances stockout risk against waste/markdown loss to recommend order quantities and allocations. By connecting "Promotions, weather, local events & pricing" (External demand drivers and campaign calendars) directly into "Aligned HQ Merchandising & Store Execution", we ensure "Shares clear rationale behind recommendations so store teams execute with confidence".

  3. 03 / Store Execution & Margin Loop

    Store-Floor Feedback & Inventory ROA Loop

    Captures store-level overrides and campaign results to continuously sharpen demand models. By connecting "Merchant domain knowledge & store constraints" (Shelf capacity, minimum order quantities, and shelf-life limits) directly into "Higher Inventory Turnover & Gross Margin", we ensure "Frees up working capital and store hours for better customer service".
