One upload. No IT project. Opti reads your POS, your SKU master with cost layers, your vendor list, and your perishable freshness windows — then tells you what to mark down, what to reorder, what to retag, and which SKUs are dying. With a dollar value on every line.
By 8 AM your butcher had pulled $380 of trim from Saturday's marinated chicken — the case was over-prepped for a Sunday rush that didn't show. Opti's Sunday-night brief flagged the over-prep two days earlier and recommended a 20% Sunday-afternoon markdown. The markdown alone would have recovered $190 of that $380. Multiply across the Mondays in a year.
Last fall, the Friday before a major community holiday, you stocked out of basmati at noon. People drove 20 minutes for that one bag of rice — some left without buying anything else. Opti's peak-day forecaster learns from your last 24 months: this year's PO goes in 8 days earlier with a 2.4× normal multiplier. Expected stockout prevention: ~$2,800 across the peak week.
On a $2.4M store, perishables run 6–9% shrink — that's $30–60K of margin lost every year, plus another $25–50K on top-100 SKU stockouts. Opti watches the parts of the store you can't watch yourself.
You upload your numbers once. Opti watches every SKU, every cost layer, every vendor, and your perishable freshness clocks around the clock. Every recommendation comes with the math and the dollar impact. You approve, override, or ignore — Opti never moves a shelf price without you.
