One view

Store, online and concession performance reconciled against the same range and markdown definitions.

Live

Stock and sales read where they sit, without waiting for another reporting cycle.

Traceable

Every sell-through and margin call shows the rule and source data behind it.

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.

Trading director · National grocer

“The markdown call for spring was made on evidence for the first time. We held margin we would have given away.”

Head of merchandising · Multi-channel retailer
