Core offering

Dropit operates an AI-powered decision intelligence platform that ingests inventory data from retailers' existing OMS, POS, CRM, and e-commerce systems and applies machine learning to optimize seasonal buying planning, store-level allocation, and return/redistribution logistics. On top of this B2B platform, Dropit runs a consumer-facing Handsfree Shopping app that lets shoppers drop purchases at partner stores for later collection, delivery, curbside pickup, or gift delivery, and provides retail brands and shopping centers with an in-store Fulfillment by Store solution and an omnichannel marketplace connecting malls and brands.

Broad incumbents

• Manhattan Active: Manhattan Associates provides supply chain, inventory, and omnichannel commerce solutions for enterprise retailers. Competes with Dropit on inventory planning and allocation as part of a broader WMS/OMS portfolio rather than a focused decision intelligence niche.
• Blue Yonder: Blue Yonder (formerly JDA Software) delivers a broad retail and supply chain planning suite spanning demand, inventory, allocation, and fulfillment. Overlaps with Dropit across planning and logistics but as part of a much larger enterprise platform.
• Körber Supply Chain: Körber offers warehouse management, supply chain, and inventory solutions for retailers and manufacturers. Provides overlapping allocation and logistics capabilities but as part of a broader supply chain portfolio rather than a focused decision intelligence product.
• SAP Retail: SAP's retail solutions (CAR and S/4HANA Retail) cover merchandising, allocation, and supply chain at enterprise scale. They are the kind of incumbent OMS that Dropit positions itself as integrating alongside rather than replacing.
• Oracle Retail: Oracle Retail offers merchandising, planning, and supply chain suites for large retailers. Directly addresses the same allocation and inventory planning problems Dropit solves, bundled into an enterprise ERP/retail platform.

Emerging players

• Crisp: Crisp provides real-time retail data and supply chain analytics for CPG brands and retailers, including demand signals and inventory visibility. Adjacent to Dropit's decision intelligence platform with more emphasis on external data ingestion.
• Vue.ai: Vue.ai builds AI applications for retail including merchandising, demand forecasting, and inventory management. Targets similar enterprise retail customers and competes for the same AI-for-retail budget allocation as Dropit.

Direct peers

• Relex Solutions: Relex Solutions provides AI-driven supply chain and retail planning, including demand forecasting, inventory optimization, and allocation. Direct overlap with Dropit's Decision Intelligence Platform across the same buyer (retail planning teams) and same core KPI of reducing stockouts and inventory holding cost.
• o9 Solutions: o9 Solutions offers an AI-powered platform for integrated business planning, including demand sensing, inventory, and supply chain optimization. Competes with Dropit for retail planning budgets and emphasizes ML-driven decisions on the same planning/allocation/logistics stack.
