Store operations, pricing and replenishment run as one governed system across your store estate.
Governed AI agents for store operations
Fewer stockouts per store
Systems reconcile POS sales, on-hand inventory and open orders and replenish every store against demand.
Price accuracy at the shelf
Agents apply price changes and markdowns on cadence and escalate margin exceptions to merchandising.
Higher throughput per FTE
Agents absorb replenishment, pricing and returns volume, so store teams scale without added headcount.
- (01)
Store replenishment
Agents reconcile store sales and on-hand inventory overnight and raise each order within approved buyer limits.
- (02)
Governed markdowns
Every price change is checked against margin rules first, and every markdown is recorded in the audit log.
- (03)
Returns and refunds
Agents authorize returns at the counter, issue refunds within policy and hold exceptions for the manager.
The Instract platform for retail
Store operations, merchandising and supply chain run on one platform, with one rule set, one permission model and one audit trail across every store.
