The Problem

Why Cortex Merchant Exists?

Disconnected point tools hide what's really happening across your stores.

When inventory, POS, and purchasing live in separate systems, you over-order in one place and stock out in another. ERP for Retail unifies them into a single real-time view and predicts what each location needs next.

Core Capabilities

What Cortex Merchant Does

Inventory & stock control

Stock is tracked live across all locations, so transfers, adjustments, and counts stay accurate and you always know what's on hand and where.

  • Real-time stock across locations
  • Transfers and adjustments
  • Batch, expiry, and variant tracking
  • Batch, expiry, and variant tracking

POS & billing

Every sale, invoice, and return updates stock instantly, so the shop floor and the back office never disagree about what's available.

  • Point-of-sale checkout
  • Invoicing and receipts
  • Returns and refunds
  • Live stock decrement per sale

Supplier & purchasing

Raise and track purchase orders, receive goods against them, and see which suppliers deliver on time and in full — so reordering is informed, not guesswork.

  • Purchase order lifecycle
  • Goods receipt and matching
  • Supplier performance scoring
  • Reorder suggestions

AI demand forecasting

Sales history, seasonality, and trends feed a forecast per product and location, turning reordering from a reaction into a plan.

  • Per-SKU, per-location forecasts
  • Seasonality and trend detection
  • Suggested order quantities
  • Stockout risk flags

Multi-store management

Central control over catalogue, pricing, and promotions across stores, with location-level visibility so each shop is managed without losing the group view.

  • Central catalogue and pricing
  • Per-store and group views
  • Promotions and price rules
  • Location-level permissions

Sales analytics & reporting

Dashboards turn transactions into insight — top products, slow movers, margins, and trends — so buying and merchandising decisions rest on real numbers.

  • Sales and margin dashboards
  • Best-seller and dead-stock reports
  • Trend and comparison views
  • Exportable reporting
