What changes when it is retail

Orqent Labs builds the internal platform layer so your teams get the speed of direct API access with the audit trail your risk function requires.

In retail, store-level data is noisy and channels are usually not integrated. That single fact reshapes how enterprise ai platform has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is markdown optimisation, usually integrated against e-commerce platforms. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

Our store data is messy.

Universally true, and the data audit is the first work package. Stockouts unrecorded as zero sales are the single most common distortion in retail forecasting.

Can it work across online and offline?

Yes, and unified demand across channels is usually where the largest gains sit. Most retailers forecast them separately and lose accuracy to it.

Why not let teams call the APIs directly?

Because you lose cost visibility, audit trail and policy enforcement, and you end up with keys in a dozen repositories. A gateway gives teams the same speed with none of that exposure.

Does it lock us to one model provider?

The opposite, the gateway is what makes providers swappable, with failover when one has an outage.

How long does a platform take?

A usable first version with gateway, logging and quotas typically lands in six to eight weeks; governance depth grows from there.
