Picture this: The CEO is in back-to-back meetings with enterprise client stakeholders, closing a strategic deal. Meanwhile, the engineering team is shipping new features, product is refining the roadmap, and the entire company is executing flawlessly.

Ensuring teams have what they need, managing the financial engine, provide direction to customer success and keeping strategic initiatives on track. That's the impact you'll have.

In April 2024, we released Markmi, the markdown optimization assistant for fashion retailers that helps merchandising teamsmake faster, confident, and more profitable pricing decisions. Markmi replaces outdated spreadsheets with a fashion-specific workflow that combines industry expertise with the latest in AI. By automating the complex parts of markdown planning, it frees up teams to focus on what really matters: weighing trade-offs and choosing the best scenario. Retailers typically experience a margin improvement of 3% to 7% and an 80% to 95% reduction in workload.
