ALDO Group runs OODARIS in production across four brands.

ALDO Group is a backer of OODARIS and a customer. Merchandise financial planning and open-to-buy run in production there, and all five decisions are available to new clients.

Decision by decision

OODARIS runs all five decisions on one data model. Start with any one; each one you add reuses the same data and integrations.

  1. Merchandise financial planning (MFP)

    OODARIS replaced a legacy planning system and more than 20 spreadsheets. The old tools had no intelligence and weren't properly connected to ALDO's systems. Planners now do everything in one app, where OODARIS explains what moved and proposes the fix.

    Merchandise financial planning (MFP)

    “Our merchandise financial planning used to live in spreadsheets and month-end. Now MFP and the AI run in the same loop. Targets re-project as actuals land, and the legacy planning system was retired in July 2026.”

  2. Open-to-buy (OTB)

    Open-to-buy runs in OODARIS, built from the plan of record. Its output feeds ALDO Group's own reports and dashboards, as well as OODARIS.

  3. Assortment

    Assortment ranks every option by local demand, space, margin and exit risk for each store cluster.

  4. Allocation

    Allocation catches broken size curves door by door and proposes pack changes and transfers.

  5. Pricing and markdown

    Pricing and markdown is built from scratch as an agentic system: price ladders inside MAP, MSRP and margin floors, and markdown depth and timing set to hit sell-through.

Track record

Two systems our team built at ALDO Group

While working at ALDO Group, our team built markdown optimization and order fulfillment optimization systems. Both run in production there today. They are not part of OODARIS: OODARIS rebuilt both from scratch on its agentic platform.

What an engagement looks like

Start with any one of the five decisions, on your own data. 8–12 weeks to a first live cycle.

  1. Foundations

    Pick the decision, connect the source data and agree the KPIs.

  2. Configure

    Map your data, set the approval rules and tune OODARIS to your price ladders.

  3. Live cycle

    Planners run a real decision in OODARIS, with named approvers and controlled writeback.

  4. Measure

    Read the result against the control, then decide whether to scale.

Start with one decision

Pick the decision where margin leaks first. In a demo we walk through one like it in OODARIS; a pilot runs one live cycle on your data.

What happens next

  1. A reply within 24 hours

    A person on the OODARIS team reads your note and writes back to set up a first call.

  2. The first call

    We map the decision's data, handoffs and approvals, and show how OODARIS would work through it.

  3. A pilot, if it fits

    8–12 weeks to a first live cycle, run on your data with your approvals.
