Retail & Wholesale

Stop guessing what to send where, and stop losing sales to an empty shelf.

Book a conversation Why it pays

What it costs you today

Replenishment is instinct

What goes to which branch is decided by whoever knows the branches best. When they are on leave, the decision gets worse.

Empty shelves are invisible

A product is in the stockroom and absent from the shelf. The sale is lost and nothing in any system records that it happened.

Dead stock is found too late

By the time slow lines are obvious, they are only worth clearing at a loss.

How it works here

Signal, understanding, action.

1

Signal

Point of sale, stock movement, supplier lists, store cameras and customer messages all report in continuously.

2

Understanding

What each branch actually sells drives what it should hold, and shelf state is compared against the stock file rather than assumed to match it.

3

Action

Replenishment is proposed before the gap, shelf gaps raise a task in the store that morning, and enquiries become orders out of hours.

What it does from the first month

Six things, running whether or not anyone is watching.

Predicts

Replenish per branch, per size

What each branch actually sells — by line, size and season — drives what it receives. The suggestion arrives before the gap, and you can accept it, adjust it, or ignore it.

Watches

See the shelf, not just the stock file

Cameras check whether product is actually on the shelf and facing correctly. A gap raises a task in the store, not a report at head office next month.

Sorts

Move stock while it is worth something

Lines that have stopped moving are surfaced early, with the branches where they still sell. Redistribution beats markdown, but only if you know in time.

Answers

Sell where your customers already are

Enquiries in chat are answered from your real catalogue and real stock, and can be turned into orders without a person typing them out. Out of hours included.

Estimates

Understand conversion, not footfall

How many came in, how many bought, and how that changes by hour, day and branch. Staffing and layout decisions stop being arguments.

Verifies

Notice the till that behaves differently

Voids, discounts, refunds and no-sales are compared across operators and branches. Anything unusual is raised discreetly, with the transactions attached.

In practice

You ask the way you'd ask a person.

One place to ask

Six lines. Two of them sell out there every week and have been short for three.

A Tuesday in your business

What this actually looks like.

A line that sells steadily in three branches has stopped moving in a fourth. Nothing is wrong with the product. A camera check shows it has been off the shelf for eleven days, sitting in the stockroom behind a delivery nobody unpacked. The shelf gap raises a task that morning, and the line starts selling again by the weekend.

Why this pays

It pays for itself the first time it puts one fast-moving line back on the shelf it had quietly fallen off.

A markdown A transfer
An empty shelf A morning task
A missed message An order

of global retail sales is lost to inventory distortion — stock that is missing when a customer wants it, or sitting where nobody does.
