Markdown Optimisation
Works out the markdown that clears stock at the lowest possible cost to margin, by line, by location and by week.
Why Markdown Optimisation is different
Stops the blanket markdown that discounts stock which would have sold anyway.
Clears terminal stock earlier, freeing cash and space before the season turns against you.
Recommendations are explainable, so merchandisers can challenge them before they go live.
From connected data to governed action
Models the sell-through
It forecasts what each line will do at current price, by location.
Finds the cheapest clearance path
It tests markdown depth and timing against your exit date and margin targets.
Recommends the plan
A phased markdown plan you can approve, edit, or let the agent execute.
What it needs to run
Your core transactional systems connected through Smart Connectors — no rip and replace.
The relevant Xfuze Data Hubs, so the agent works on unified, governed data.
The thresholds, guardrails and approval rules you want it to operate within.
What it gives you
Clear recommendations with the reasoning and data behind each one.
Actions written back into your systems of record once you allow it.
A full audit trail and live dashboards in the Control Tower.
You decide how much it does
Every Xfuze Agent runs with a human in the loop. Move between modes whenever you want: per team, per threshold, per process.
Recommend
The agent suggests, your team decides. Ideal for the first weeks while you build trust.
Approve
The agent prepares the action and waits for a one-click approval from the right owner.
Autonomous
The agent acts inside the limits you set, and escalates anything outside them.
Governed by the Xfuze AI Control Tower
Every Xfuze Agent runs under the Control Tower: role-based permissions, live activity monitoring and a full audit trail on every action. CHIP Agents are native to the platform.
