AI & Automation · Retail operations
AI Development Company for multi-store retail
Head office sends instructions and hopes they happen. Stock in the system is not stock on the shelf, and every store has a slightly different way of doing the same job.
Why this is different here
Replenishment and reporting without the spreadsheet
Reorder suggestions from real sell-through, and like-for-like store comparison that does not require anybody to assemble exports.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you have experience in retail operations?
We build operations software for this kind of business, which is a different claim from being a multi-store retail specialist and we would rather make the honest one. What we bring is the engineering and the pattern recognition from similar operations. What you bring is how your plant, depot or site actually runs, because that part is never in a case study.
How do you start on a AI and automation project here?
Two or three stores, four to six weeks, usually starting with whichever problem costs you the most, stock accuracy or task compliance.
What does it cost?
Scope decides it and we quote line by line after a call. Two tracks: a blended squad at roughly $24 to $45 per hour, or a senior-only pod at roughly $75 to $120 where architecture review and a compressed timeline matter. A first project in this space usually runs four to six weeks.
Which AI models do you use?
Whichever fits the job and the budget — usually Claude, GPT or an open model we host. We design so the model can be swapped without rebuilding your product.
