Retano SCM
Harness the power of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data technologies to optimize supply chain operations
Less Manual Work. More Profit.
Today’s retailers face a complex challenge: even minor supply chain hiccups lead to lost sales, excess stock, and unhappy customers.
Retano SCM is an AI-driven solution that brings clarity and control—automating critical processes, minimizing human effort, and unlocking higher efficiency across the board.

What’s more, the system pinpoints the precise areas requiring attention.
Smarter than auto-replenishment:
AI-driven accuracy, end to end.
Retano SCM handles the entire inventory management process — from deep data analysis and demand forecasting to generating and approving orders.
The system independently and automatically, every day:
- Cleans and analyzes sales and inventory data.
- Forecasts demand with consideration for seasonality, promotions, trends, and customer behavior.
- Calculates the optimal order quantity for each item.
- Adjusts orders based on actual stock levels and expiration dates.
- Generates ready-to-approve orders — either manually by a manager or automatically on schedule.
Our system calculates replenishment quantities based on sales forecasts, demand variability, and takes into account all relevant supply chain constraints. This ensures efficient inventory management while reducing the need for manual intervention.
Challenges Addressed by Retano SCM
Optimal Product Availability in Stores
Introduce commercially valuable products into your range and mitigate the issue of inconsistent product availability on shelves. This inconsistency often results in lost sales and reduced replenishment volumes, particularly for products with limited shelf life. Without intervention, this pattern can lead to the gradual disappearance of these products from the range altogether. By implementing Retano SCM, you can effectively reduce lost sales by addressing product availability issues and maintaining a consistent supply on store shelves.
The impact of customers not finding products on shelves cannot be underestimated, as it may result in irreversible loss of customers to competitors. This damage can be significant for retailers. Retano SCM is specifically designed to prevent such scenarios by ensuring consistent product availability, thereby retaining customers and mitigating the risk of customer attrition to competitors.
Stock optimization
In typical scenarios, payment delays to suppliers do not exceed the time required to sell the products they provide. However, if the sales cycle is prolonged, it results in capital being tied up in inventory, negatively impacting the retailer’s performance. By improving the quality of supply chain processes, it becomes possible to release this tied-up capital and enhance overall performance.
The proportion of waste is directly related to the size of the inventory. As the inventory decreases, the percentage of waste also decreases. Accurate forecasting plays a crucial role in minimizing waste losses, as it enables better inventory management and reduces the risk of overstocking.
Decrease in logistics costs
Achieve optimal inventory replenishment for distribution centers (DCs) and stores through Retano SCM.
Our system’s order calculation process considers critical logistical parameters including lead time, pack size, expiration dates, and order submission time limits.
By accurately calculating orders, retailers can implement efficient cargo management processes such as cross-docking and pick-by-line for storage and DC operations. Notably, renowned retailers like Tesco utilize these mechanisms to drive operational excellence.
Less manual corrections and labor
Retano SCM provides the ability to compare key performance indicators (KPIs) of the supply chain between automated and manual ordering processes, enhancing decision-making transparency.
By utilizing Retano SCM, retailers can reduce their reliance on the human factor. While experienced employees are capable of creating high-quality orders, the performance of AI-driven systems surpasses human capabilities over time, minimizing errors. Additionally, the solution mitigates the challenge of knowledge transfer for new personnel, ensuring consistent and optimal performance regardless of expertise level.
