Retail & D2C
Decisions wait on month-end; the founder flies blind between closes; "true margin" is an argument because fees, freight, returns and discounts are never netted in one view; and the one stock number that matters, available-to-sell across channels and stores, is held by nobody, so a best-seller oversells one channel and goes dead on another.
Who has it
Every segment; sharpest for omnichannel retailers and retail chains on cross-channel and cross-outlet stock and margin, and for D2C / online-first consumer brands on blended margin and cash.
What we build
Always-current dashboards over the connected layer: true margin by channel, SKU and outlet after every fee and return; available-to-sell stock across channels and stores with inter-store transfer visibility; cash, gateway and GST position; and receivables for any wholesale arm. The moment a founder sees true contribution and a true stock picture on one screen is usually when it clicks.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
The reliable spine
The reliable spine is deterministic: true margin by channel, SKU and outlet after every fee and return, the available-to-sell number across channels and stores, and the cash, gateway and GST position, all computed over the connected layer.
Where AI helps
AI drafts a plain-English read of what the screen is showing and points to the channel or SKU drifting below floor; the numbers themselves stay exact arithmetic over the brand's own data.
Who signs off
A named person acts on what the dashboard shows; nothing touching money, stock, a customer promise, a payment, a price or a credit decision moves because a screen lit up.
What changes day to day
The founder and managers run the week off live numbers; slow stock, below-floor channels and stretched cash become visible while there is still time to act; the stock picture stops being a guess.
Illustrative outcome
Working capital tied in dead and mis-allocated stock reduced as the true picture surfaces; below-floor channels caught early. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
