Our focus
We are not traditional consultants. We do not hand you a deck and leave.

What AI ready meansThree questions we answer for retailers
Each one is covered in full on our services page, with what goes into the work and what you receive.
How much should we order?
Demand forecasting
Store and product level forecasts that account for promotions, price changes, seasonality and weather, so you order the right amount and waste less stock.
How forecasting worksWhat should we charge?
Pricing optimisation
A complete pricing system built on Bayesian multi-factor models: regular price, promotion and clearance, each adjusted for where the product is in its lifecycle.
How pricing worksWhat are others doing?
Competitor monitoring
Automated collection of publicly listed competitor prices, ranges and promotions, matched to your products and turned into dashboards and alerts.
How monitoring works
The work behind the numbers
Reporting, data and tools that make the three answers usable every day.
