Retail & E-Commerce

Stop reacting to what already happened. Sentient OS aligns inventory, pricing, and demand in real time - so you act before the opportunity is gone.

The Challenge

What We Solve

The specific problem this solution addresses.

Inventory distortion costs retail trillions every year. Overstock ties up capital; understock loses sales. And conventional analytics only tell you about it after the fact - a dashboard that explains what happened, days after the decisions were made.

Demand signals are scattered across channels. Pricing decisions rely on gut feeling or rules written last quarter. By the time a report surfaces an overstock problem in a region, the markdown cycle has already started - and the root cause is still unknown.

Without a system that connects raw signals to real action, retail stays reactive. Every decision is a day late.

How Sentient Addresses It

The Approach

How Sentient OS turns this challenge into clear, actionable outcomes.

Sentient OS closes the gap between data and decision. It captures demand signals across all your channels - POS, ERP, marketplace - and turns them into actionable pricing, inventory, and promotion decisions in real time.

Instead of showing you what happened, it tells you what to do next. Every markdown, replenishment order, and pricing change is grounded in what is actually happening in the market - automatically, without waiting for the next report cycle.

Your existing BI, ERP, and POS systems connect directly. No rip-and-replace. Value quickly.

Capabilities

What It Does

The specific capabilities that power this solution.

Real-Time Demand Alignment

Demand signals from every channel are captured and processed in real time. Replenishment and allocation decisions are prescriptive - the system tells you what to do, not just what happened.

Dynamic Pricing Intelligence

Pricing decisions made in real time, not overnight. The system models price sensitivity and competitive positioning so optimal prices can be applied immediately, not after the market has already moved.

Shelf and Assortment Optimization

Understand which products resonate with which customers - grounded in actual behavioral patterns, not demographic assumptions. Assortment and planogram decisions become measurable.

Cross-Channel Signal Fusion

One view of demand across online, in-store, and marketplace - so inventory and pricing are optimized across all channels, not managed in separate silos.

8-Week Revenue Projections

Performance Forecasting delivers an 8-week revenue trajectory based on how demand actually develops over time - giving planning teams reliable projections for seasonal and launch planning.

Market Fit for Assortment

Market Fit delivers price-tier positioning, purchasing power fit, and competitive benchmarking so assortment decisions align with who actually buys what - and why.

From Data to Decision

How It Works

Three steps from raw signals to action.

1

Connect your data

Your POS, ERP, marketplace, and BI feeds connect directly. Demand signals are captured and normalized as they arrive - no migration, no batch delay.

2

Find the causes

The system identifies what is actually driving demand - supply-demand dynamics, price sensitivity, assortment fit. Performance Forecasting and Conversion Modeling produce optimal inventory, pricing, and promotion actions.

3

Act on it

Replenishment orders, price changes, and assortment recommendations are delivered in real time. Planners and systems consume clear, actionable recommendations - not retrospective dashboards.

Real Scenarios

Use Cases

Real-world applications and outcomes.

Seasonal peak and flash sales

Real-time demand alignment and pricing intelligence allow allocation and pricing to adapt within the event window. Overstock and stockouts are minimized; revenue per unit and sell-through improve versus static plans.

New product launch and assortment reset

Market Fit and behavioral analysis identify which segments and channels will adopt first. Demand forecasting and shelf intelligence drive initial allocation, reducing launch distortion.

Cross-channel harmonization

One decision layer fuses signals from all channels so inventory and pricing are optimized globally - not managed in separate silos.
