Built for teams running 10–100 stores.

01focused layer, not an enterprise suite

A count should point to the next decision.

RetailPulse is a practical layer for teams that need useful variance visibility without the cost or complexity of an enterprise inventory system.

01

Bring in the count

Start with the CSV your team already has. POS connections can follow later.

02

Set the signal

Choose the variance threshold that makes sense for each store or category.

03

Work the list

See which SKU, store, or shift deserves a closer look first.

The signal is the starting point.

Upload or sync the data, see the variances that cross your threshold, and understand the pattern worth checking.
