Grocery & Retail

Make better buying and stocking decisions across every location.

ToolPlex connects sales, inventory, purchasing, supplier, and customer data. We build forecasting, replenishment, allocation, and reporting tools around the way your retail business works.

The problem

A chain-wide plan can miss what each store needs.

Demand changes around real-world events

Paydays, holidays, promotions, weather, and local events can move sales before a rolling average catches up.

Empty shelves hide demand

When an item is unavailable, the lost sale never reaches the sales history. The next plan may read that as weak demand.

The same product behaves differently by store

A fast seller in one location may barely move in another. A national or chain-wide total does not tell buyers where the stock should go.

New products need a first buy

Buyers have to commit stock and shelf space before a new item has its own sales history.

Connects to your systems

Work with the retail systems already in place.

ToolPlex uses data from your POS, ERP, replenishment, e-commerce, and reporting tools. It turns that data into forecasts, replenishment recommendations, and reports without replacing those systems.

What ToolPlex can do

Support the decisions behind assortment, stock, and purchasing.

Demand and replenishment

Forecast by product and location, then show buyers where stock is likely to run short or exceed the target.

Assortment, promotions, and new products

Plan initial buys and review performance using comparable products, promotions, seasonality, and local demand.

Allocation and inventory

Balance stock across stores and warehouses, identify slow-moving items, and use available inventory before buying more.

Retail reporting and routine work

Bring sales, stock, orders, and supplier data together for reports, alerts, and recurring tasks used by buyers and operations teams.

How projects grow

Start with the decision that matters most.

A store-level forecasting project may uncover gaps in sales and inventory data. Once those gaps are fixed, the same foundation can support replenishment, allocation, new-product planning, or other retail work.

CONNECTED COMPANY DATA
Fig. 2 — Start with one part and add others using the same connected data.

We add more only when there is a useful next problem to solve. Your existing data connections and retail rules carry forward.

After launch

Approved corrections become part of the system.

When your team confirms a name, mapping, exception, or business rule, ToolPlex applies it the next time.

Your rules stay in the system

ToolPlex records approved terms, exceptions, and business rules so they are applied consistently the next time.

Access based on role

Each person sees only the data and actions their job requires.

A record of every change

Approved changes are logged, including what changed, when, and who approved it.

Data privacy

Built around your security requirements.

Your company gets a separate environment in the deployment region you choose. We do not pool your data or use it to train shared models. We can also support stricter data-hosting requirements when needed.

A separate environment for each client

Your company runs in its own environment. Data and encryption keys are not shared with another client.

Choose the deployment region

Select a deployment region that meets your company's data and procurement requirements.

Keep data in your systems when possible

ToolPlex connects to existing systems instead of requiring a separate copy of everything. Client data is not used to train shared models.

Stricter hosting requirements

We can accommodate stricter data-hosting requirements when needed.
