Live

A unified command center to monitor, plan, and act across your entire retail ecosystem from a single pane — with real-time visibility into stores, inventory, workforce, and customer metrics.

Open one screen and the whole business is there — revenue, gross margin %, store performance, inventory health, vendor compliance and Annual Plan tracking, refreshed daily with no reports to request. The system surfaces what matters: aged inventory piling up, stores running out of stock, vendors missing delivery targets. Built-in AI explains why a number moved, not just that it moved. Works on Desktop, iPad and Mobile (iOS), use it in meetings and store visits.

Six modules live: Portfolio Health, Margin Analysis, Store Intelligence, Inventory Health, Vendor Performance and AOP (Annual Operating Plan) Tracking.

Sub-section · AI Agents

AI Agents · Trend-to-Design

Transforms trend + brand context into manufacturable design options and auto-generates complete tech packs (specs, BOM, trims, artwork) for vendor-ready handoff.

Sibling agents in the same family: Planning Agent (Cortex) — builds a store-realistic Plan of Record and converts it into fixture/slot-level VM layouts, with exception-led replans. Agentic Marketing — autonomously builds and optimises campaigns (audiences, creatives, timing, measurement) using customer signals. Ask Impetus · AI Business Analyst — turns cross-system retail data into executive-ready answers, explains "why," quantifies impact, and recommends the next best fix.

Agentic Control Tower

An agent-driven control tower that detects, prioritises, and resolves business exceptions in real time. This is where the Retail Clock cadences meet automatic action — every alert is an exception flowing into a workflow that the system attempts to resolve before it reaches a human.

Sub-section · Store Intelligence

Store Intelligence

AI-powered store intelligence that decodes demand, competition, and localised growth opportunities. Every store becomes a node in a sensing network — local demand signals, competitive density and demographics feed the assortment, pricing and marketing decisions for that catchment.
