Proactive AI for grocery
Fresh does not wait for the weekly review
Cimba watches demand, availability, waste, and fulfillment across every store and every basket, continuously, and routes the Next Best Action to the person who owns it while the product is still sellable.
What changes
In grocery, a late decision is a written-off one
Cimba runs analytics, the Next Best Action, and task execution in one platform, reading the systems you already use. Your ERP and merchandising systems stay the book of record.
Shelf life does not negotiate
A markdown taken on Thursday that should have been taken on Tuesday is not a smaller margin, it is waste. The decision window is measured in hours and the reporting cycle is measured in days.
With Cimba: Cimba scores markdown timing continuously, so Tuesday's markdown is recommended on Tuesday, with the margin math shown.
Every store is a different store
Demand at one location is not demand at another, and a chain-level forecast hides the dozen stores where it is wrong. The exceptions are where the money is.
With Cimba: Cimba forecasts store by store, so those dozen surface by name instead of averaging into a chain number.
Availability and fulfillment pull against each other
Online orders, substitutions, and in-store shoppers draw on the same shelf. Managing them from separate systems means solving one at the other's expense without seeing it happen.
With Cimba: Cimba watches both against the same shelf and shows the trade-off before you make it.
Why grocery teams choose Cimba
Forecasts at the level decisions are made
Demand watched item by item and store by store, against a real ordering cutoff, not a chain average that is right on aggregate and wrong where it matters.
Markdowns timed while there is still margin
Waste is a timing problem. Cimba flags the slow mover and recommends the markdown while the product still has a price someone will pay.
One view of the shelf, online and in store
Availability, substitutions, and fulfillment are watched together, so a promise made online and the shelf behind it stop drifting apart.
Routed to whoever owns it
A category decision goes to the category manager, a store decision to the store. The recommendation arrives with the reasoning and the numbers attached.
Fast to prove, safe to trust
New workflows go live in under a week, on a SOC 2 Type II platform with role-based access and an append-only audit trail on every run.
Cuts alerts, doesn't add them
Cimba replaces the scattered alerts your team already gets across every store and every system with one prioritized Next Best Action, routed to the person who owns it. Not another dashboard or feed to check.

Frequently asked questions
