Intelo's August Release - Agent Nodes That Enhances Your Planner's Expertise 

‍

Some AI solutions promise automation at the cost of sidelining your human experts, suggesting that experience, intuition, and strategic thinking can simply be replaced. At Intelo AI, we take a different approach. We believe the future of retail lies in empowering your human teams with AI that enhances their capabilities rather than replacing them. Our latest updates are designed to make your team more strategic, efficient, and effective. Here’s how. 

The Retail Struggle Is Real 

For planners, buyers, and merchandisers, retail often feels like a puzzle with a few missing pieces. Hours are spent juggling spreadsheets and manual systems, leaving little time for crafting high-level strategies. This can lead to common challenges, such as lost sales from stockouts, incomplete size assortments, and inconsistent customer experiences. 

The result? Retailers struggle to align inventory with actual demand, leaving money on the table and customers frustrated. 

Traditional AI solutions have tried to address these issues by promising full automation, yet they often miss the mark. While automation helps with repetitive tasks, these systems frequently overlook the human intuition that makes decisions smarter. They might give you raw data, but what about actionable insights? What about collaboration between AI and humans? 

That’s where Intelo AI comes in. 

The Intelo AI Difference 

At Intelo AI, we don’t see AI as a replacement for human expertise. Instead, we focus on engineering AI solutions that work alongside your team, amplifying their insights and empowering them to make better decisions. Our “agentic-first” platform is designed to be a collaborative partner. 

Here’s how it works:

• Automating the tedious tasks: Intelo’s AI agents handle repetitive and time-consuming processes, freeing up your team to focus on strategy.
• Conversational collaboration: These agents speak your language, integrating seamlessly into tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams to provide insights in real time.
• Decision-making with context: Intelo AI doesn’t just provide numbers—it offers reasoned explanations behind the data, helping you understand what’s happening and why. 

This approach means your team moves from reacting to problems to actively shaping smarter strategies. Recently, we’ve made powerful updates to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. 

What’s New in Our AI Agents 

Our focus this August has been on enhancing two core areas critical to retail success: Demand Planning and Size Curve Optimization. These updates are designed to tackle some of the most pressing challenges retailers face today. 

Enhanced Demand Planning: Uncovering the Full Picture 

How many times have you been left scratching your head over sales data that doesn’t add up? Traditional demand models often misinterpret inventory gaps—like out-of-stocks or shipping delays—as reduced consumer interest. This incomplete view compromises future forecasts. 

Loss-Aware Reasoning to the Rescue: 

Our updated Demand Planning agent incorporates Loss-Aware Reasoning, offering a more sophisticated understanding of sales data. This new feature accounts for missed sales opportunities caused by external factors, including stockouts and vendor delays, as well as external signals like weather changes. 

Why it Matters: 

By identifying these hidden losses, Intelo AI creates more accurate predictions of future demand. This empowers your team to make smarter buying and allocation decisions, minimizing missed opportunities and maximizing sales. 

Smarter Size Curve Optimization 

Few frustrations in retail match the chaos of mismatched inventory. Stores often end up with incomplete size assortments, losing customers who can’t find the size they need. Meanwhile, the backroom overflows with sizes that simply don’t sell. 

Precision on a Whole New Level: 

Our updated Size Curve Optimization agent uses advanced reasoning to tailor inventory distribution down to specific store needs. Whether it’s Fifth Avenue or a suburban strip mall, Intelo AI ensures your inventory decisions are driven by local demand patterns. 

Why it Matters: 

This update eliminates the “piecey” inventory problem, ensuring customers find the sizes they want while reducing overstock. Retailers boost inventory productivity and improve the overall shopping experience. The result? Higher sell-through rates and fewer stagnant sizes clogging up your supply chain. 

Bringing It All Together 

These updates aren’t just technical advancements—they’re about real results. Retailers using Intelo AI have already reported a 6% boost in sell-through rates and significant improvement in inventory health thanks to these enhanced capabilities. 

And unlike bulky enterprise solutions, Intelo AI’s system is plug-and-play. You can integrate our tools quickly without needing a full tech overhaul. With Intelo, your team becomes more agile, shifting their focus from reactive problem-solving to proactive, profit-driving strategies. 

Empower Your Team with AI 

The future of retail isn’t a fight between humans and AI. It’s a partnership where AI amplifies the brilliance of human teams. Intelo AI is here to transform your retail operations into a finely tuned strategic powerhouse—helping you meet customer demand with precision and confidence.
