Solya helps buyers and merchandisers manage the full inventory lifecycle. Everything in the product fits into three layers that build on each other. Here’s how data flows through the system:

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.
