talk to usDemand response, competitor prices, seasonal patterns, stock and channel rules in one model. kint proposes prices and replenishment with the best predicted margin inside your guardrails. Merchandisers decide.
A competitor cuts prices on part of your range. Do you follow? On which products? What does that do to the margin of the products bought alongside, and to the seasonal stock that has to clear? The merchandisers know the market. Weighing thousands of linked prices at once is the part kint takes on.
A lower price on one product changes demand for others. Across a whole range, no spreadsheet tracks these effects.
Online, in-store and wholesale prices must stay consistent and still fit each channel.
Too early costs margin, too late leaves stock. The right moment depends on the demand curve.
When a competitor moves, the window to respond is short. Repricing a full range by hand is too slow.
Each decision comes back as a plan, the rule that binds it, and the gap to the best possible plan. A person releases it before it is used.
Which price per product and channel gives the highest total margin within your rules?
Prices per product and channel, each with the rule that binds it.
Cross-product effects are in the model. Merchandisers see why each price was set before they release it.
How much of each item do we order, and for which store, as demand shifts with price and season?
Order quantities per item and store within shelf space, supplier terms and the service level.
Prices and stock are planned in one model, so the plan keeps stock for the promotions it sets.
Who works which shift across the stores in peak season?
Shift plans per store that follow expected footfall, skills, labour law and budget.
Labour law and works agreements are hard constraints. Staff preferences enter as goals.
The people stay the same. They work with a plan that states its own quality and its own reasons.

Exports from your POS, ERP or e-commerce are enough to start. kint's decision agent drafts the model from the planners' description. In the pilot, kint's forward deployed engineers (FDEs), who work directly with the customer's team, review it with the experts.
POS data, competitor prices, stock levels and margin targets, as your systems export them.
Demand models learn from your sales history. Merchandisers check them against experience.
kint proposes prices and orders per product and channel. Merchandisers review and release.
New competitor data or stock changes produce a new proposal, with what changed and why.
