We are expanding Retano SCM with Leonardo, a new AI assistant designed to empower supply chain teams and support more accurate, confident replenishment decisions.
Modern supply chains are becoming increasingly complex, while the time of replenishment managers is more valuable than ever. In this environment, Leonardo helps teams navigate data faster, respond to issues with greater precision, and support specialists of all experience levels — enabling even less-experienced users to operate at an expert level.
Leonardo is embedded directly into the SCM interface. When invoked, it immediately provides a clear analytical breakdown of the situation, and allows users to clarify details and request additional explanations in a conversational format.
Leonardo supports teams across different operational workflows and is especially impactful in two high-load areas of daily work:
Analysis of a specific order line
Leonardo immediately highlights potential issues, explains how the calculation was built, shows the factors affecting product availability, and draws attention to points that may lead to risks.
This allows teams to resolve complex cases faster, reduce errors caused by human oversight, and significantly decrease the time required to analyze problematic positions.
Daily overview of all orders
The assistant provides a comprehensive picture of the day: identifying shortages, calculation errors, bottlenecks, and potential losses — helping teams set the right priorities.
When there are many scattered alerts, Leonardo organizes them into a structured, easy-to-interpret view, helping teams react faster to critical situations and reducing operational workload.
Additional support across the SCM landscape
Beyond order analysis, Leonardo assists in other tasks as well — including replenishment schedule management, reports, and reference information — delivering consistent support across the entire SCM workflow.
Technology that powers Leonardo
Leonardo leverages advanced AI technologies, including LLM models, vector search, RAG techniques, a multi-agent architecture, and specialized SCM order analysis algorithms.
These capabilities allow the assistant to understand context, work with data in real time, and generate accurate, actionable recommendations.
What it means for your teams
- Instant access to the assistant directly within the interface
- Analysis built on real-time data and the exact context of the task
- Ability to clarify details and get explanations in a dialog-based interaction
- Structured insights aligned with SCM logic
- Fewer errors caused by the human factor and faster reaction to critical events
- Greater confidence in daily operational decisions
We will be happy to demonstrate how Leonardo can enhance your team’s performance and improve the efficiency of your supply chain.
Additional New Capabilities in Retano SCM
Alongside the AI assistant, several strategic enhancements have been added to Retano SCM — making supply chain management even more precise, resilient, and financially efficient.
Enhanced AI Forecasting
Retano SCM now includes an upgraded forecasting model that deeply analyzes seasonality, uncovers hidden trends, evaluates the impact of promotions, and automatically identifies analogues for new products.
This provides more realistic demand forecasts, even for items with irregular or sparse sales patterns.
Financially-oriented safety stock optimization
The system now automatically determines the optimal safety stock level based on financial impact, not static rules — balancing the cost of excess stock with the cost of lost sales.
Retailers can maintain high on-shelf availability while significantly reducing tied-up capital.
Exception-based management
We refined the operating model: Retano SCM handles calculations, data analysis, order generation, and deviation detection.
Users can focus solely on meaningful exceptions, while routine operations are fully automated — reducing manual workload and minimizing the risk of human error.
Adaptive strategies for all sales channels
Retano SCM adapts forecasting, safety stock logic, and replenishment methods for each channel — stores, e-commerce, marketplaces, and both regular and irregular wholesale.
This helps avoid overstock in some channels and shortages in others.
Strategic allocation
New allocation capabilities allow retailers to position stock proactively.
Retano SCM can place inventory ahead of supply disruptions, prepare for expected demand spikes during promotions, and balance stock across stores and DCs — strengthening supply chain resilience.
Full end-to-end inventory management
Retano SCM now provides a complete end-to-end inventory management cycle — from data preparation and cleansing to forecasting, replenishment parameter calculation, order generation, and strategic allocation. This enables retailers to manage the supply chain as a unified, data-driven system with faster decisions, greater transparency, and predictable business outcomes.
