Stop flying blind on local demand

Factori helps your team match inventory to real‑world demand by adding external signals—movement, events, local economics and spend on top of your existing sales and forecast data.

Put the right stock in the right place, at the right time.

Most inventory plans assume tomorrow will look like yesterday. That breaks down when:

Weather or events suddenly change traffic

Local economics shift in a few key markets

Competitors open, close, or run heavy promos nearby

Factori gives you simple, geo‑level datasets that explain why demand changed, so you can:

Cut avoidable stockouts

Reduce overstock and waste

Make new product and promo bets with more confidence

Predict with better precision with real world context

Store & region stock levels

Align inventory with true local demand drivers, not generic rules of thumb.

Promo & seasonal planning

Order for promotions and holidays using events, market interest, and historic lift patterns.

Perishables & short‑life products

Use local affluence, daytime population, and mobility to decide how aggressive to be.

Replenishment & safety stock

Tune reorder points based on how volatile an area really is.

New product launches

Test and scale where footfall, interest, and retail spending are already pointing up.

The data that sharpens your plan

You keep your existing inventory system and forecasts. Factori just feeds them better context.

Mobility

Mobility

How people move through the physical world—visits and patterns around stores, venues, and neighborhoods.

Events

Events

Local events that move demand: concerts, sports, conferences, school calendars, public holidays, and more.

Retail Sales

Retail

Retail sales indicators by market and category to show where spend is rising or softening.

Market

Market

Search and commerce signals: which brands, products, and categories are gaining attention across markets.

People

People

Privacy‑safe consumer graph covering demographics, income bands, lifestyle and interest indicators.

Places

Places

Clean, consistent details about stores, restaurants, venues, points of interest, and their surroundings.

How teams use real-world data for inventory

Better baselines

Adjust base demand by local footfall, economic strength, and market interest.

Smarter curves by store

Stop treating all locations the same; group stores by real‑world context, not just historical volume.

Promo & event playbooks

Build simple rules like “when events of this type happen nearby, we lift stock by X% for these categories.”

Scenario planning

Test “what if demand softens in these markets?” or “what if we push a new range into these ZIPs?” before committing.

Clearer post‑mortems

When you miss, quickly see whether the issue was demand, supply, or local conditions.

Made for leading inventory teams

Inventory & replenishment teams

Pick a pilot group

50–200 stores or a few key regions where inventory pain is real (stockouts, waste, or both).

Choose the datasets to bring in

For example: Mobility + Events + Retail Sales for promos, or People + Economic for pack / mix decisions.

Run a side‑by‑side test

Compare your current plans with “current + Factori data,” and review the changes in stockouts, overstock, and forecast error.
