Introducing Ask Indie™
Retail intelligence you can talk to.
Ask anything about your store in plain language and get a clear, specific answer grounded in your own data and trained on 40 years of retail knowledge. What to buy, when to mark down, where your next opportunity is hiding. The answer's ready when you are, and the decision stays yours.
You already know the questions.
Getting the answers is the hard part.
Every retailer carries them around. What should I reorder, and how much? What do I mark down before the season turns? What is sitting in the wrong location? You ask them in the car on the way in. You ask them Sunday night, looking at the week ahead.
So you go hunting for the answers…
Hours in spreadsheets, one report after another.
Cross-referencing numbers that never line up.
Team meetings causing MORE questions than answers.
When the clock runs out, you make the call on instinct.
There is a better way.
Not a simple chatbot.
40 years of retail intelligence.
General AI tools are trained on the open internet, so they can sound confident and still be wrong. Those mistakes can cost you thousands of dollars.
Ask Indie™ is built on something no one else has. Four decades of proprietary retail data. Built store by store, season by season, our AI lives directly inside Retail ORBIT® and is trained on the deepest specialty retail knowledge base in the industry.
Your next move is a question away.
Stop guessing and just Ask Indie™. Get a clear, specific answer drawn straight from your own store data, grounded in 40 years of retail knowledge. What to buy, what to mark down, what's sitting in the wrong store: the answer is ready the moment you need it.
No reports to pull, no spreadsheets to wrestle. Just the direction to make your next move with confidence.
Three steps. No learning curve.
ASK
Type your question the way you would say it out loud. No query builder, no report to configure. If you can ask it, Indie can answer it.
KNOW
Get a specific, plain-language answer built on your actual numbers, with the reasoning shown. Not a dashboard to interpret. An answer you can act on.
ACT
Turn the answer into a move. Indie surfaces the next steps and carries them straight into your Retail ORBIT action list, so nothing gets lost between knowing and doing.
Go from answer to action
Action items, surfaced for you. As Indie works through your question, it pulls out the moves worth making so nothing gets buried in the conversation.
Sorted by category. Every action is tagged (buying, markdown, inventory) so you can see at a glance where your attention is needed most.
Grounded in your numbers
Attach your files. Bring your financials, SKU reports, sell-through, and vendor analysis straight into a question, and get an answer built on your actual business.
Your file cabinet. Reference the reports you use most, keep them on hand, and pull them into any future conversation without hunting them down again.
Built to fit your workflow and your team
Pick up where you left off. Every conversation is saved to your history, so you can return to a thread and keep going whenever you need to.
Save what matters. Turn any response into an artifact you can reuse later or pull back into a new conversation as a starting point.
Get your team on the same page. Make a conversation visible to your company so owners, buyers, and staff are all working from the same answer.
Human instincts, backed by infrastructure.
Ask Indie™ does not replace the instinct you have built over years behind the counter. It sharpens it, putting the full picture in front of you so the call you make is the right one.
Behind Retail ORBIT® is your Management One Retail Coach, a real person who knows your business and helps you turn the numbers into a strategy for the season ahead. Ask Indie™ gives you the answer in the moment. Your Retail Coach helps you see the bigger play.
