Built in retail.Not built for.

The Agentic Operating System for Retail Decisions. It watches the business overnight, explains what moved, proposes the fix, and writes the approved action back into your systems.

The people who use it

Five jobs. Five Mondays. Pick one.

Each role works with its own specialist agent, using the same numbers, the same evidence, and the same approval trail.

Choose a role to see their Monday.

Before OODARIS

“I used to rebuild the same forecast in three spreadsheets just to answer one question in the Monday meeting.”

With OODARIS

The variance is already explained when she opens her laptop. She spends the morning deciding, not reconciling.

Before OODARIS

“We'd walk into the line review with last week's numbers. By then the risk had usually moved.”

With OODARIS

When a cost changes, OTB and the margin by department are rebuilt before the next purchase order goes out.

NiaAllocation

Before OODARIS

“By the time I saw a broken size curve, the best doors were out of core sizes and the slow doors were full.”

With OODARIS

Breaks are flagged door by door, each with a pack change or transfer ready to approve.

TomFinance

Before OODARIS

“The variance showed up every month-end. Nobody could tell me which decision caused it, or what would close it.”

With OODARIS

Every approved change carries its expected P&L effect, so a variance traces back to the decision behind it.

One real decision, end to end

This is what “agentic” looks like on a Monday.

01 / 07 · Monitor

It ran 1,412 checks before anyone logged in.

Sell-through, stock, traffic, price and plan, across every cluster, every night. Three things looked wrong enough to bother a human with.

It acted: four functions in eleven minutes, then written back into your systems.

Everyone affected saw the same recommendation and evidence, their guardrails were checked automatically, and the approved changes were written back with an audit trail and a rollback that works.

Actuals come back against the simulation, and the ladder it didn't choose is costed too. The gap is the lesson.
