02. Intelligence Layer
Your retail logic,
finally executable.
Define your metrics, your signals, your constraints. Solya's AI recommends within them — never around them.


The Intelligence Problem in Retail
Generic AI doesn't understand your retail business.
Off-the-shelf models guess. Your buyers, planners, and allocators already know better.
"Models don't know your margins."
Forecasts that ignore cost structure, lead times, and supplier constraints. Pretty curves. Wrong decisions.

"Rules live in spreadsheets."
Your real logic — safety stock, MOQs, seasonality, store tiers — sits in Excel files nobody dares touch. The AI never sees them.

"Every team re-invents the wheel."
Buying builds one model. Allocation builds another. Pricing builds a third. None of them agree.

How it works
Inside the Intelligence Layer.
Three stages. You configure the logic. The AI respects it.

What you get
The logic center for every retail decision.
Six capabilities to define, constrain, and compute every call — at any scale.
Metric factory
Build any KPI your teams need — sell-through, margin, cover, velocity. Defined once, used the same way across every team.
Signals & alerts
Get notified the moment something moves: a stockout, a margin drop, a slow seller. Routed to the right team, automatically.
Business logic center
One place for every rule that runs your retail: margins, MOQs, store tiers, supplier windows, budget caps.
Constrained AI
Every forecast and recommendation respects your rules. No suggestion will ever violate a margin floor or a supplier lead time.
Explainable decisions
Every recommendation shows the data, signal, and rule it came from. Your teams see exactly why — no black box.
Scenario simulation
Change a rule or a metric, preview the impact on revenue, margin, and stock. Test before it ships to production.
What you can do with it
The logic center for every retail team.
One set of metrics, signals, and rules. Every team aligned. Every decision explainable.
Fit into the runtime
The logic center of the Solya runtime.
The Data Layer feeds it. The Orchestration Layer ships its decisions. This is where retail judgment lives.



“Last season, we marked down €80k of stock in the wrong stores — and missed as much again from stockouts. Solya now helps us rebalance inventory before sales and margin are lost.”
