You're selling on your site, Amazon, retail partners, maybe wholesale. You're shipping from multiple warehouses, maybe a 3PL. Every week it's the same questions:
“You've been answering these questions with spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual workflows. It works—until it doesn't.”
Commerce Chain Optimization replaces the patchwork. Forecast demand, allocate inventory, execute operations, and govern outcomes — all in one system.
Know exactly what's actually available without five tabs.
Let policies handle which channel gets the stock.
Identify risks weeks before they hit your sales.
Better Data runs your operations as governed loops.
Sense
Forecast demand and detect signals
Unify operational and channel signals so planning starts from what is actually happening.
Decide
Apply policies and allocation rules
Encode how inventory should move before anyone reopens a spreadsheet.
Execute
Move inventory, fulfill orders, trigger actions
Turn decisions into work—transfers, POs, allocations—without losing context.
Govern
Track outcomes, enforce controls, audit decisions
Evidence and controls stay attached, so operations stay explainable and compliant.
Improve
Learn from results and refine policies
Close the loop: measure accuracy, drift, and performance so policies get sharper over time.
No PhD required. The system picks the right model and tells you when it's wrong.
Stop relitigating allocation decisions every week. Set the policy once, let the system enforce it.
"What do we have?" finally has a real answer.
The system tells you what's wrong and what to do about it. You decide whether to act.
“We're building in the open. These features are in active development.”
Wire marketing calendars directly into demand models.
Compare baseline forecasts against what-if scenarios.
Use committed orders as high-fidelity demand signals.
Warnings delivered to email, Slack, or webhook.
Execute moves directly from recommendations.
You need to know inventory is in the right place without building dashboards every quarter. Better Data gives you the system—forecasts, rules, alerts—so your team stops firefighting.
You're the one in the spreadsheets today. Better Data replaces the manual work: demand planning, allocation math, reorder calculations. You stay in control, but the busywork goes away.
You need a platform that integrates cleanly, exposes APIs, and keeps your data consistent across systems.
Better Data is API-first, audit-ready, and designed to fit into modern commerce stacks without adding operational overhead.
Built on modern infrastructure (Next.js, Prisma, PlanetScale).
Commerce Chain Optimization is the hosted product. It runs on Loop Engine and Commerce Gateway — the open infrastructure layers you can use independently or together.
Policies, approvals, audit trails, and channel execution in one hosted workspace—not a loose bundle of tools you wire together yourself.
