ASC for E-Commerce

Pricing across 14,000 SKUs was reset manually on a weekly cadence, so the team chased competitor moves days late and left margin on the table every season.

ASC built a pricing agent that reads live demand signals, competitor feeds, inventory depth, and markdown rules from the brand's commerce platform, then proposes and writes price changes back to the catalog through the existing PIM API, with a human approval gate on any move outside set guardrails.

Prices now adjust in real time within margin floors the brand controls, and contribution margin rose 9 percent against the pre-engagement baseline.

Replenishment ran off static reorder points in the ERP, leaving roughly 30 percent of working capital in slow-moving stock while best sellers went out of stock during promotions.

ASC built a forecasting and replenishment agent that pulls sell-through, seasonality, and supplier lead times from the ERP and warehouse system, generates per-SKU per-location order proposals, and drafts purchase orders for buyer review inside the tools the planning team already uses.

Carried inventory fell 32 percent against the prior year while in-stock rates on top sellers held, freeing working capital the retailer redeployed into assortment.

Manual review queues could not keep pace with order volume, and friendly-fraud and stolen-card chargebacks were running high enough to threaten the marketplace's processor standing.

ASC built a fraud-defense agent that scores each order at checkout against device, behavioral, and payment signals, auto-clears clean orders, holds ambiguous ones with an evidence summary for the risk team, and files structured representment packets through the payment gateway on disputes.

Chargebacks dropped 68 percent against the baseline period while approval rates on legitimate orders held steady, keeping the marketplace well inside processor thresholds.
