Prices are set once and left to drift away from demand.
→ Sets every price to the margin your demand will bear — by store zone and channel — and never starts a price war it can't win.

AUTONOMOUS OPTIMIZATION · THE RETAIL BACKBONE
Opti is the Brain for your retail.
Price+Assortment+Replenishment+Labor — every shelf and network decision closed by a specialist, continuously, inside the guardrails you set once.
Which price to set, which SKU to range, which order to place, which store to staff — decided continuously, prescriptively, on your own numbers. The planning spreadsheet goes out the window.
Stock is everywhere except where it sells.
→ Forecasts, reorders, and transfers SKU-by-node so the right stock sits in the right place at the lowest cash cost.
+15–30% inventory turns
Cash is trapped in slow-moving inventory across the network.
→ Re-balances inventory against working-capital targets and tunes safety stock per SKU-store instead of flat policies.
−8–20% working capital
Shelves go empty while service quietly bleeds away.
→ Trades service against cost continuously and moves stock before you ever go out of stock.

HOW IT WORKS
The decisions Opti makes for you.
On a schedule when the day starts. And the moment something changes — a competitor cuts, the radar shifts, a top-seller runs low.
- Pricing Lead
Sets every price and markdown to capture the most margin demand will bear, store zone by channel.
→ +3–6% margin
- Merchandiser
Decides what earns its place on the shelf and what makes room for something better.
→ +sales / sq ft
- Supply Chain Planner
Builds one demand forecast, then reorders and transfers stock before a stockout happens.
→ +15–30% turns
- Store Ops Manager
Staffs each store to its traffic, holds the service bar, and kills the overtime.
→ −5–10% labor
- Channel & eCommerce
Picks the fulfillment node per order at the lowest cost to serve — without starving the stores.
→ +omni margin
The decision
Pricing & Promo — capture the margin demand will bear
What Opti reads
- ·demand elasticity per SKU, store zone, and channel
- ·competitor price moves and your margin floors
- ·inventory coverage and target sell-through dates
What you get
Everyday price, markdown depth/timing, and promo mechanics per SKU — net of cannibalization and forward-buy — and the match-or-hold call within guardrails.
The decision
Merchandising — what earns its place on the shelf
What Opti reads
- ·category contribution and sales per square foot
- ·store-cluster ranging and assortment productivity
- ·the long tail and its complexity cost
What you get
List/delist per store and category, must-carry vs optional ranging by cluster, and shelf facings reallocated toward contribution-per-foot.
The decision
Supply Chain — right stock, right place, least cash
What Opti reads
- ·POS demand, seasonality, and live promos
- ·lead times, supplier OTIF, and node capacity
- ·service targets and inventory-cash limits
What you get
One operational forecast, per-SKU-node PO create/expedite/cancel, store-to-store transfers, and safety stock tuned to hold service at minimum cash.
The decision
Store Ops & Omni — staff, serve, and fulfill
What Opti reads
- ·forecast traffic and task load by daypart
- ·labor rules, overtime, and shrink anomalies
- ·channel demand and cost-to-serve per order
What you get
Labor shifted to match traffic (overtime cut, coverage intact), flagged underperforming stores, and the lowest-cost fulfillment node per order — store, DC, or pickup.
You stay in control. Everything starts as a suggestion you approve. Turn on auto-pilot only when you trust the math.
You set the guardrails once — margin floors and ceilings, competitor match rules, working-capital targets, service SLAs, labor budgets and fairness rules — and every closer obeys them, every time. Decisions stay recommend-only until you flip them.
