Challenges We Solve

Where Retail and Wholesale Operations Break Down

The buying decisions, replenishment processes and vendor relationships that drive margin are still managed manually at most retail and wholesale operations. WorkAgentic's AI agents connect to the ERP, POS and wholesale systems your teams already use.

BUYING
Open-to-buy is tracked in a spreadsheet nobody trusts
The buying team pulls sales and inventory data manually, calculates OTB by hand and updates a spreadsheet that is out of date by the time it is shared. Buying decisions get made on yesterday's numbers at best.
REPLENISHMENT
Stores run out of stock on the wrong SKUs every week
Replenishment orders are placed manually based on periodic stock counts. Fast-moving sizes and colors run out between cycles. The buy is sitting in the warehouse while the customer-facing hook is empty.
VENDORS
Vendor performance issues are discovered after the season
On-time delivery rates and invoice discrepancy data are spread across emails, spreadsheets and ERP reports. The buying team finds out a vendor has been consistently late when they are reviewing the season closeout, not in time to do anything about it.
MARKDOWN
Markdowns are taken too late and go too deep
Sell-through tracking is done manually by category managers. SKUs that are tracking below plan are not flagged until the season is nearly over. By then the markdown has to be deep to move the inventory, and the margin hit is significant.
WHOLESALE
Wholesale orders are processed from inboxes and spreadsheets
Retailer orders come in through email, EDI and order portals. Each one is entered manually into the ERP. Mistakes happen. Orders get missed. Your wholesale team spends most of their week on order entry instead of account management.
REPORTING
Sales and margin reports arrive after the decisions are made
Daily sales and margin data from stores and wholesale accounts need to be pulled, formatted and distributed manually. By the time the weekly report is ready, the trading decisions it should inform have already been made on incomplete information.

Client Reviews

What our clients say after going live

4.9
★★★★★
Verified clients
★★★★★

"We were doing store replenishment manually once a week. Fast-moving sizes would sell out in three days and sit empty for four. The agent runs replenishment calculations daily from live sell-through data and flags locations that need an urgent transfer. Our in-stock rate on core SKUs went up in the first month."

S
Sandra K.
Buying Director · US Specialty Retailer
★★★★★

"We were taking markdowns in the last two weeks of the season because nobody was tracking sell-through against plan during the season. By then the markdown had to be 40 percent to move the stock. The agent flags SKUs that are tracking below plan six weeks out. We now take smaller markdowns earlier and the residual is a fraction of what it was."

M
Michael B.
Head of Trading · US Fashion Retailer
★★★★★

"We had a vendor who had been delivering two to three weeks late for an entire season. We only found out when we ran the season review. The performance monitor now flags late delivery in the week it happens. We had a conversation with that vendor in week four of the season instead of week twenty."

C
Claire T.
Merchandise Manager · US Home Goods Retailer
★★★★★

"Our wholesale team was spending half their week entering orders from emails and EDI files into our ERP. They were hired to manage accounts, not to do data entry. The agent captures orders from every channel and enters them automatically. Our team now spends their time on the accounts that actually need attention."

B
Brian L.
VP of Wholesale · US Accessories Brand
★★★★★

"We run both a retail operation and a wholesale business from the same ERP. Every vendor we talked to wanted to solve one side or the other. Haroon's team mapped both operations in the first call and built an agent that handles replenishment for our stores and order processing for our wholesale accounts from the same data source. Nothing went live until it had been tested against a full month of real transaction data."
