SKU-level markdown optimization suggestions for merchandising teams who want to say goodbye to the hours spent in spreadsheets

Stop leaving profit on the table
Retailers around the world invest more than $1 trillion in their markdown programs (BCG). Stop leaving profit on the table and out-of-season inventory in the stockroom.
It’s time to add AI and optimize your markdown.

Taking your business targets into account
The application gives you SKU level markdown suggestions for any location or channel. It does this by applying AI models to your inventory, transaction and pricing data, while taking into account business targets and constraints.
Under the hood
