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.

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.

Data Layer

Connect, clean, and structure your retail data.

Intelligence Layer

Compute every retail decision with your own rules.

Orchestration Layer

Build workflows that push decisions into your systems.

Application Layer

Generate the custom apps your retail teams need.

“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.”
