Data layer
Brings your retail data in — data sources, ingestion specs, ingestion runs.
Intelligence layer
Turns data into guard-railed decisions — business rules, budgets, forecasts.
Action layer
Where you act — inventory plans, alerts, and workflows.
The three layers
1
Data layer — get clean data in
Activate your data sources (POS systems such as Polaris and Kezia, or file
uploads). Each incoming file is interpreted by an ingestion spec and every
import is tracked as an ingestion run. The result feeds Solya’s analytics
(the Databricks-backed gold/silver layers).
2
Intelligence layer — shape decisions
Solya computes risks, forecasts and recommendations, and lets you define
business rules that block or warn when a plan would breach a policy
(budget caps, capacity limits, size curves, supplier constraints…).
3
Action layer — execute
You build inventory plans (restock, rebalance, markdown, pre-season, supplier
return/exchange), respond to alerts, and automate repetitive flows with
workflows.
