04. Application Layer
The apps your retail teams
live in.
Pre-built apps today. Custom builders and embedded AI agents tomorrow. All on your data, your rules.


The Applicative Problem in Retail
Your teams are stuck with someone else's tools.
Generic SaaS rarely fits. Custom dev never ships on time. Excel becomes the default.
"The dashboard never matches the team."
Buying needs one view. Allocation needs another. The BI tool gives everyone the same one — and nobody uses it.

Buying needs one view. Allocation needs another. The BI tool gives everyone the same one — and nobody uses it.
"IT has a six-month backlog."
Every custom request joins a queue. By the time it ships, the team has moved on, or built a workaround in Excel.

"Excel is everyone's plan B."
The real tools of retail live in spreadsheets — fragile, untracked, version-conflicted, and impossible to scale.

What you get
The toolkit for every retail team.
Six capabilities to use, build, and understand the apps that run your retail — at any scale.
Pre-built retail apps
Ready-to-use apps for buying, allocation, replenishment, and ops. Live in Solya today, connected to your data from day one.
Component library
Pre-built blocks designed for retail: KPI tiles, allocation tables, markdown grids, alert feeds, store comparisons. Compose, configure, ship.
Visual app builder
Drag-and-drop the apps your team needs. No code, no engineering backlog, no learning a new framework.
Embedded AI agents
Agents that surface insights and trigger actions inside every app — without leaving the workflow.
Full audit trail
Every AI call shows its reasoning: the data it used, the rule it applied, the math it ran. Trust by design, not by promise. (Coming soon)
Role-based access
The right view for the buyer, the store manager, the CFO. Web and mobile, with permissions per role and per team.
What you can do with it
The toolkit for every retail role.
Stop waiting for IT. Stop fighting Excel. Use the apps that exist, build the ones that don't.
Fit into the runtime
The interface of the Solya runtime.
The Data, Intelligence, and Orchestration Layers do the work. This is where your teams meet it.
