NextOrbit 

NextOrbit is a SaaS platform for predictive demand planning and adaptive pricing. We apply AI and Machine Learning algorithms to enterprise sales and inventory data. A core of the solution is exogenous data (our own IP) that we utilize for enhanced predictive accuracy. 

-> For retailers, this improves inventory turns, increases basket sizes, reduces inventory, and improves same store sales.
-> For e-commerce, this improves basket sizes, sales, reduces the time stock spends in your warehouse. Improves pricing.
-> For store-pick companies, this improves loyalty, GMV.
-> For wholesalers and distributors, this improves sales by avoiding lost demand.

Founder and Member Board Of Directors

NextOrbit is a cloud platform that uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Machine Learning to supply chain decisions of fashion brands, retailers and any enterprises /governments that have a continuous supply chain optimization challenge.

NextOrbit works for brands and retailers where customer experience and loyalty are important. NextOrbit infuses predictive intelligence into critical planning and supply chain decisions such as product selection, demand planning, store allocation and pricing. 

NextOrbit implements AI & Data Sciences techniques in a Continuous Learning Loop 

NextOrbit uses all brand/retailer data such POS (Point-of-sale), DC Shipments, receipts at the store, store returns, customer returns, shrink, footfalls and plan-o-gram constraints and combines it with external data such as fashion trends, weather, local events, holidays, macro-economic factors, and social listening to deliver intelligent and adaptive decisions. 

NextOrbit benefits – Top Line, Bottom-Line, Enabling business scalability 

Implementing NextOrbit accelerates same-store-sales, enhances inventory turns, improves full-price-sell-through, and most of all, enhances customer experience. These KPIs are first measured before implementation, and their improvement is tracked and demonstrated on a regular basis.
