How it works.
What it does
Reads your stores' own till sales, returns and stock, joined to what each product is: its silhouette, fabric, colour, occasion, metal, stone and the rest of its tags. It tells head office which attributes sell and which do not, where sizes are broken, which stock is old or slow, where stock could move between stores, what could be reordered, which pieces could be marked down, what comes back and why, and what shoppers wanted that the shelf did not have.
What it reads
- Till sales, returns and stock received from your stores, by CSV upload or a signed push from your POS or ERP
- Each product's attributes, and how many products carry each one
- Try-ons and what shoppers asked for, against stock and sales
- Your knowledge base: head office's plans, targets and earlier decisions
What it drafts
The merchandise brief for head office, each week, and answers to head office's questions. Every figure comes from your own data for a named window, and every suggestion carries its evidence beside it.
When it runs
Every Monday at midday, and whenever head office asks.
What a person approves
Nothing it writes reaches shoppers, and it changes nothing. A transfer, a reorder or a markdown happens only when a person makes it in your own systems.
What it never does.
- Moves stock, places an order, changes a price or edits a product
- Suggests a markdown depth or a price
- Fills a gap in till sales with kiosk figures
- Says anything about one shopper
