AI Pricing & Demand Forecasting for Retail & Distribution
Tilect helps retailers and distributors forecast demand per SKU and channel, optimize prices and promotions within guardrails, and react to competitor moves in near real time. Its competitive radar captures more than 10,000 signals daily - prices, promotions, news, weather, and local events - each tied to estimated demand impact. Forecasts run at 90–97% accuracy up to six months ahead in measured deployments.
The pricing problem in retail & distribution
Thin margins, large assortments with a long tail, fast-moving competitor prices, promo-driven traffic, and markdown risk that compounds every week stock sits. Static rules and weekly rep checks don't keep up with how often the market moves.
What Tilect does for retail & distribution teams
Demand forecasting across a large assortment
One model per SKU and channel - tail SKUs included rather than averaged into a category baseline. Scales cleanly to 50,000+ SKUs. See Forecasting →
Price & promotion optimization within guardrails
Per-SKU elasticity, MAP and cost floors, halo and cannibalization modeled. See Pricing Optimization →
Real-time competitive radar
10,000+ signals per day; median reaction time around 4.1 hours. See Competitive Intelligence →
Scales to large assortments and multiple markets
Built for enterprise scope: 50,000+ SKUs, multiple countries, multiple channels. Single-tenant cloud or on-prem; GDPR-resident in the EU.
What it looks like in practice
Competitor-led repricing on traffic SKUs, promo planning that protects base sales, markdown timing on aging stock, and range forecasting for new listings - all driven by the same model so commercial, supply, and finance share the same numbers.
