Optiply vs Retano SCM

Optiply automates inventory management and replenishment by recommending what to order, when to order, and how much. Its supply chain agent monitors demand, supplier performance, and stock levels, then places or adjusts orders and explains changes. The purchasing algorithm uses more than 40 forecasting calculations, considering sales, ABC categorization, seasonality, trends, peaks, and delivery times. Optiply advertises more than 50 integrations across ERP, WMS, fulfillment, retail POS, database, data provider, e-commerce, and marketplace categories. Named examples include Exact Online, Shopify, Picqer, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Bol.com. The Lite plan costs €79 per month and includes up to 1,000 sales orders per month and up to 1,000 SKUs. Lite offers a 14-day trial without a credit card for online stores using a standard integration. Several standard integrations do not require additional fees; custom system connections through the API may incur a one-time connection fee. Optiply serves e-commerce, wholesale, and retail businesses, and is available on web and through an API.

Retano SCM automates retail inventory management and replenishment from sales-data preparation through order submission across stores and distribution centers. Forecasts account for seasonality, promotions, trends, holidays, and unusual sales, selecting a model for each SKU. The system calculates item-level quantities, adjusts for stock and expiration dates, and creates orders for automatic processing or manager approval. Fresh and short-shelf-life products use shelf-life-aware replenishment logic to support availability and reduce write-offs. Forecasting can apply separate logic to stores, e-commerce, wholesale, and marketplaces. The Leonardo assistant explains order-quantity factors and summarizes operational alerts by root cause. Retano says SCM integrates with any retailer ERP without changes to merchandising, store-management, or WMS systems. The product is described as SaaS-based with no additional hardware or server infrastructure, while purchasing options include on-premises, SaaS, and subscription. Deployment is listed at 3–6 months. Pricing is on request. Licensing covers Center, Allocation, Modelling, Analytics, ML/AI, and BI Constructor, with limits based on item-location, store count, or concurrent workstations.
