What Invent Analytics does

Invent Analytics (operating commercially as invent.ai) is a privately held engineering firm founded in 2013 that develops AI-based inventory, planning, and pricing optimization software for enterprise retailers and FMCG companies. The company operates through its legal entity Invent Yazılım Danışmanlık A.Ş., a Turkish joint stock company, with its registered headquarters in Istanbul and customer-facing operations spanning the United States, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe. Its product suite addresses a broad set of retail merchandising functions including demand forecasting, merchandise financial planning, assortment planning, buy optimization, inventory allocation, replenishment, phantom inventory detection, transfers, returns, dynamic pricing, promotional pricing, and markdown optimization, sold as a unified subscription platform rather than as standalone point tools.

The company's core technology is a multi-agentic AI architecture organized around a conversational AI agent called Remi, which orchestrates four specialized agent types—Insight & Monitoring Agents, Reasoning Agents, Analytics Agents, and Advisory Agents—across the retail planning lifecycle. The platform continuously measures demand, inventory, and performance signals at the store × SKU level, generates explainable recommendations with financial impact attribution, and supports approval-based human-in-the-loop workflows before automated execution. Per company materials, deployments target a 90-day time-to-value with a claimed 100% pilot success rate, and reported customer outcomes include 8–11% revenue growth with the same or less inventory, 6–8% gross margin improvement, 20–30% reduction in lost sales, 2–4% higher gross margin dollars from pricing optimization, and up to 80% time savings for planning teams.

Invent Analytics runs an enterprise SaaS subscription model with direct field sales targeting large retail chains, supported by an institutionalized 90-day implementation framework and a customer success "Hub Model." The company is led by founder Gurhan Kok, who serves as CEO and Chief Scientist, and has raised disclosed venture funding across two rounds (a $7.5M round in late 2022 led by EBRD Venture Capital and a $17M round in April 2024 led by LFX Venture Partners). Its named customers span apparel, footwear, specialty retail, discount retail, pharmacy, marine, mattress, sporting goods, men's apparel, and auto verticals, including Tailored Brands, Tecovas, Alo Yoga, Five Below, GNC, West Marine, Mattress Firm, Men's Wearhouse, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Footasylum, and Boots UK.
