Business Problem

In today’s fast-moving retail landscape, making the right inventory decisions is harder than ever. Retailers face several challenges that hinder their ability to balance demand and inventory effectively

Stock-Outs During High Demand

Lost revenue and frustrated customers caused by insufficient inventory.

Excess Inventory in Low-Demand Locations:

Higher carrying costs and increased markdown risks.

Dynamic Promotions & Seasonality

Shifting demand patterns make traditional forecasts unreliable.

Complex Data Analysis

Data from multiple sources (POS, ERP, supplier feeds, promotions) is often fragmented and difficult to consolidate.

Decision Paralysis

Retail teams lack visibility into critical metrics, such as:

  • “What is our forecast accuracy by category this week?”
  • “Which SKUs are at the highest risk of stock-outs in the next 7 days?”
  • “Where are we tying up too much working capital in excess stock?”
  • “What will be the impact of upcoming promotions on demand accuracy?”
    • These challenges make it difficult for retailers to optimize inventory, reduce waste, and meet customer expectations.

    Our Solution

    DemandIQ is a multi-agent, AI-powered solution designed to help retailers predict demand accurately, optimize inventory, and take action with confidence. Unlike traditional tools that provide static dashboards, DemandIQ delivers actionable recommendations tailored to the complexities of retail operations.
