Retail features
Six features, working together.
01 / Ask
A buyer asks about range. In plain English.
Ask which lines are behind curve, which stores carry the wrong depth, and what a markdown will cost.
02 / Describe
Your range plan, your markdown rules, your definitions.
Capture sell-through definitions, concession treatment and the real store hierarchy once.
03 / Connect
Tills, stock and the concession feeds, read where they sit.
Read sales, stock, partner feeds and finance across the platforms already in place.
04 / Build
A range review becomes the buying team’s standing view.
Keep weekly trading, markdown planning and channel comparison in one governed library.
05 / Model
Model the markdown before it goes to the shop floor.
Test a markdown depth, timing or store selection before it reaches the shop floor.
06 / Trust
Every number traces to the till data behind it.
Trace every number to its channel, week and sell-through curve revision.
Architecture
Runs in your account. Reads, never writes.
Runs where you do
Your cloud account, your region, single tenant. We deploy into it and hand over the runbook.
Reads, never writes
Read-only against your warehouse and source systems, under the permissions you already maintain.
Described up front
Your business held as an ontology, reviewed and approved before anything runs on it.
Traceable
Every answer shows its query, its sources and the revision that produced it.
Testimonials
“Our buyers ask it what a competitor’s promotion did to our category — and get an answer before the meeting, not after.”
“The markdown call for spring was made on evidence for the first time. We held margin we would have given away.”
