The Agentic OS for Retail Decisions

Every night OODARIS checks plan, stock, sell-through and price for five merchandising decisions. By morning the person who owns each decision has the cause and a proposed fix with its expected margin. By default, nothing is written back until they approve it.

Merchandise financial planning and open-to-buy run in production at ALDO Group. All five decisions are available to new clients.

OODIE is the agent your team talks to: ask it anything about OODARIS, run scenarios and simulations, or change a value, always with approval.

Decision 1 of 5: Before the season, then every week

Merchandise financial planning

Today
The plan lives in spreadsheets and closes at month-end, so a margin miss is explained weeks after it happened.
With OODARIS
The plan re-projects as actuals land. A variance arrives with its cause by store cluster and the decision that would close it.

Decision 2 of 5: Through the buy

Open-to-buy

Today
When a cost changes, OTB is rebuilt by hand, and buyers commit receipts against last week's numbers.
With OODARIS
A cost change, such as a new tariff on the autumn buy, rebuilds OTB and the margin impact by department before the next purchase order goes out.

Decision 3 of 5: Range build

Assortment

Today
Last season's winners are clear. Which options belong in which stores next season gets argued out in the line review.
With OODARIS
Each option is ranked by local demand, space, margin and exit risk for every store cluster before the range is committed.

Decision 4 of 5: Launch and in-season

Allocation

Today
A broken size curve shows up in the weekly report after the best doors have sold through their core sizes.
With OODARIS
Breaks are caught door by door, and each one arrives with a pack change, a transfer plan and its commercial impact.

Decision 5 of 5: Full price through season exit

Pricing and markdown

Today
Price ladders and markdown cadence follow rules written seasons ago, and the first cut is often deeper than the stock needs.
With OODARIS
Price ladders move with elasticity inside your MAP, MSRP and margin floors, and markdown depth and timing are set to hit sell-through. For CL-03, a shallower first cut held for two weeks clears the same units at 8 points less discount.

How much OODARIS does is your call.

Prescriptive is the default: OODARIS proposes, and a person approves before anything is written back.

See one of your own decisions run end to end.

Start with any one of the five decisions, wherever margin leaks first. In a demo we walk it from the overnight check to the approved writeback. A pilot runs it on your data, with 8–12 weeks to a first live cycle, and every decision you add after it reuses the same data model and integrations.
