autone

Autone offers software for retail inventory management, combining AI-generated recommendations with retailers' own sales, stock and forecast data and the judgement of their planning teams. The product is organised into interlinked modules covering buying, assortment and initial allocation, reordering, replenishment, inventory rebalancing between locations, and insights reporting. Actions taken in one module feed the others, and the interface surfaces confidence levels and data-based explanations for each recommendation, an approach the company describes as a "glass box" rather than a black box.

The platform is aimed at reducing both stockouts and overstock in order to improve margins, with functionality for spotting re-buy opportunities on top sellers, timing seasonal replenishment, and directing new products to the locations where they are most likely to sell. Autone also publishes an impact calculator that segments prospects by business vertical, annual revenue range and number of points of sale. The website is available in English, French and Italian.

Business model

Autone sells its inventory management platform to retail brands, positioning it as a replacement for incumbent planning suppliers and internal manual processes; onboarding is handled as a structured implementation.
