Core features

Six-Dimensional Inventory Health Score

Evaluate each store on a 0–100 scale across six inventory dimensions, including inventory turnover, stockout control, slow-moving inventory, category structure, dormant inventory, and assortment breadth. The scoring model helps retail teams identify inventory risks at store level and provides a consistent basis for store tiering and differentiated inventory strategies.

Formula-Driven Intelligent Ordering

Configure replenishment logic based on business rules, inventory conditions, sales performance, safety stock, and other operational parameters. Ordering rules can be maintained through configurable parameters, allowing retail teams to adapt replenishment strategies to different store and product conditions without repeatedly rebuilding the underlying workflow.

Store × Product Strategy Matrix

Apply differentiated inventory strategies based on both store tiers (S/A/B/C) and product ABC classifications. This store × product approach helps brands avoid using the same replenishment logic across every location and SKU, allowing inventory decisions to reflect differences in store performance, product importance, sales velocity, and inventory risk.

Closed-Loop Inventory Recommendations

Generate actionable recommendations across key inventory scenarios, including: Dormant inventory management, Slow-moving inventory clearance, Active-SKU replenishment, Inter-store inventory transfer, Excess inventory return. Recommendations can be prioritized based on inventory conditions and estimated business impact, helping retail teams focus first on the actions that require the most attention.

Six Built-In Business Scenarios

Support common inventory management scenarios across day-to-day retail operations: Routine replenishment, Promotion planning, Product transition, New product initial allocation, Allocation for supply-constrained best-sellers, Allocation during prolonged shortages.

Continuous Parameter Optimization

Track the difference between system-generated recommendations and actual execution results to identify where inventory parameters may require adjustment. By reviewing indicators such as manual adjustment rate, inventory turnover, stockout conditions, and slow-moving inventory, teams can continuously refine replenishment parameters and inventory strategies based on actual operating results.
