Tills close
Every bill from every till lands within minutes, by store and by SKU. Returns, voids and staff purchases are cleaned out before anything is learned from them.
Demand forecasting + store operations for GCC retail
Every store knows tomorrow by 6 am.
Tattva forecasts demand for every SKU in every store, every night. Then it turns the numbers into orders, allocations and a morning task list your store teams actually open.
Running every night for 14 retail chains, from 12 stores to 640

01Why stores miss
A Ramadan week in Riyadh is not a Ramadan week in Dubai.
Gulf demand is local to the street. Ramadan moves eleven days every year. A football final empties one aisle and fills another. A heatwave doubles water sales in one city and halves footfall in the next. Salary week, the summer exodus, school reopening: each store lives on its own clock.
Most chains still plan from a head office average and a spreadsheet. Tattva learns the clock of every single store, then plans the night around it.

02The platform
Six elements. One plan, rebuilt every night.
Start with the forecast, add the modules your teams need. Every element reads the same store by SKU by day plan, so buying, the DC and the shop floor finally work from one number.

The forecast runs
42 million store by SKU by day forecasts, each with a range, not just a number. Slow movers, new launches and loose staples each get the model that suits them.
03:15
Fresh buy lists
Buyers get a kilo level list for the morning market run, split by DC and by grade, with the shelf life of every lot already counted.
04:10
Indents released
Store orders go to the DC rounded to case packs, capped by shelf space and truck capacity. Your ERP receives them as if a planner had typed them.
05:30
Trucks roll
Routes follow the plan, not habit. Stores that will sell out by noon get the first drop of the day.
07:00
Morning huddle
The store manager opens six tasks ranked by dirhams at risk. Fill the laban chiller first. Move the Eid packs to the gondola end. Done before the shutter goes up.
10:00
Doors open
The right sizes on the floor, the right quantities in the chiller, and nobody had to guess. Tonight, it starts again with today's bills.
05For the shop floor
A to do list that knows what each task is worth.
Forecasts only matter if someone acts on them at 7 am. The Tattva store app turns the plan into a short, ranked list for each store manager, in Arabic, English, Tagalog and five more languages, on the phone they already carry.
- Ranked by dirhams at risk, so the first task is always the right one
- Photo proof for planograms and price labels
- Works on 4G with patchy signal and syncs when it can
- Area managers see every store's progress before 10 am
Try it: tick off a task on the phone.

We used to plan Ramadan on a spreadsheet in January and hope. This year Tattva moved stock from Jebel Ali to Al Ain two days before any of us saw the trend.
My store managers stopped calling the DC at seven in the morning. The app tells them what is arriving and what to fix first.
The real test was finance. They now use the Tattva number for the monthly cash plan, and they do not trust anything easily.

09Questions
What planners ask us first.
Do we need clean data to start?
No. Most chains have gaps: missing stock counts, merged SKUs, a year of odd promotions. The data audit in week one shows what we can use as it is and what we fix on our side.
Does it replace our ERP or our planners?
Neither. Tattva sits beside your ERP and writes orders into it. Your planners stop typing routine orders and spend their time on exceptions, new launches and suppliers.
How does it handle new stores and new products?
New stores borrow the demand shape of similar stores nearby, then switch to their own history as it builds. New products borrow from look alike products by price, pack and category.
Which formats do you work with?
Supermarkets and hypermarkets, pharmacy, fashion and modest wear, home and electronics, and quick service food chains. Chains from 12 stores to more than 600.
How is it priced?
A fixed fee for the pilot, then a yearly fee per store. Most chains recover the full year in working capital within the first quarter.
