AI Inventory Features

Four deeply integrated AI capabilities that give retail chains complete inventory intelligence, from supplier to shelf.

Feature

Demand Forecasting

Know what will sell before it sells

AisleStock's demand forecasting engine processes over 40 signals per SKU to predict future sales with industry-leading accuracy. Unlike traditional statistical models that rely solely on historical volume, our AI incorporates promotions, competitor activity, local events, school calendars, and real-time weather data.

Forecasts are generated at daily, weekly, and seasonal granularities for every SKU in every store. Store managers see a simple recommended action; category managers see the full probabilistic distribution behind it.

Capabilities

  • SKU-level daily forecasts for up to 16 weeks
  • Promotional uplift modelling with pre/post analysis
  • New product introduction (NPI) forecasting using category analogues
  • Cannibalisaton and substitution detection
  • Confidence intervals and scenario planning
  • Automatic anomaly detection and override flagging

Forecast accuracy at SKU level
Feature

Auto-Replenishment

Orders placed before you know you need them

Manual reorder point management across hundreds of SKUs and dozens of stores is a full-time job with a high error rate. AisleStock automates the entire replenishment cycle: monitoring stock levels, calculating optimal order quantities, and submitting purchase orders directly to suppliers or your ERP.

Rules-based constraints, supplier lead time variability, and minimum order quantities are all factored in. Finance teams retain approval workflows for orders above defined thresholds.

Capabilities

  • Real-time stock position across all stores and DCs
  • Dynamic safety stock calculation based on demand variability
  • Supplier lead time learning and variability buffer
  • Minimum order quantity and pallet fill optimisation
  • ERP and EDI integration for automated PO submission
  • Exception dashboard for manual review of flagged orders

Waste Reduction

Stop throwing margin in the bin

Perishable waste is one of the largest controllable costs in grocery and fresh retail. AisleStock tracks expiry dates, monitors temperature excursions, and generates dynamic markdown schedules that clear stock before it expires while maximising sell-through at the best possible price.

Waste dashboards give ops teams real-time visibility into at-risk SKUs, with automatic alerts to store staff when intervention is required.

Capabilities

  • Expiry date tracking at pallet and unit level
  • Dynamic markdown pricing with price elasticity models
  • Donation and redistribution routing for near-expiry stock
  • Supplier quality scoring based on actual shelf life achieved
  • Weekly waste cost reporting by category and store
  • Integration with food waste reporting frameworks

Shelf Analytics

See what is actually on the shelf, right now

Out-of-stock events are often invisible to HQ until they show up as lost sales days later. AisleStock's shelf analytics layer uses computer vision integration with your existing in-store cameras to detect empty shelves, misplaced products, and planogram compliance issues in real time.

Automated alerts are pushed to store associates with the exact location and recommended action. No more manual shelf walks as the primary detection method.

Capabilities

  • Real-time out-of-stock detection via computer vision
  • Planogram compliance scoring by shelf and bay
  • Misplacement detection and relocation alerts
  • Facing count monitoring for key promotional items
  • Integration with store associate task management apps
  • Heatmap visualisation of on-shelf availability by time of day
