Frequently asked
questions

Still have questions about Optiply? Find below answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Who is Optiply made for?

Optiply delivers the most value to e-commerce stores with large assortments (often greater than 5000 SKUs) that do their purchasing daily.

Next to that, e-commerce stores with physical stores, wholesalers supplying multiple locations, retailers making weekly purchases, and online stores scaling to international markets also benefit from Optiply.

Companies using Optiply have annual sales of €500K to €500M.

Who is eligible for the free trial?

Online stores using one of Optiply's standard integrations can easily sign up for the trial period, even without a credit card, and work toward the free business case. For custom integrations, a one-time connection fee applies.

How is the purchasing advice determined?

Optiply's AI purchasing algorithm includes more than 40 different calculations. Among other things, the purchasing recommendation includes real-time data from: sales data, ABC categorisation, seasons, trends, peaks, (actual) delivery times and more!

Multiple holidays and seasons per industry are also included, and we also combine the knowledge and data of all our customers (fully anonymised). Even though a product may seem new, the algorithm has seen (similar) products before.

What does the free business case look like?

At the end of your trial period, we will meet (digitally) during a strategy call. We go through your current situation and review the results of your purchasing strategy.

We also compare the impact of different scenarios, such as seasonal demand, promotions or unforeseen fluctuations in the market. We look at what Optiply would have achieved in the same period, based on the same data set, and what the investment for that would be.

This gives you instant insight into the impact on your inventory, time savings, preventing lost sales and/or improving your cash flow, with a concrete ROI.

What is the difference with a min/max approach?

A simpler purchasing algorithm, such as a min/max approach, uses static, outdated data and calculates on the average of the past month to forecast inventory for the coming months.

This means that changes in demand, peaks, seasonal trends and market conditions are not accounted for. The result: frequent under- or overstocking, and the risk of lost sales or wasted inventory.

Optiply, on the other hand, works with data updated in real-time, so our forecasts are always current and react immediately to changes. This ensures that your inventory is optimal and you don't risk losses due to under- or overstocking.

When can I start purchasing with Optiply?

Once the integration is finished and the settings are customised for your operation and goals, you can immediately start purchasing with Optiply. During the trial period, you can already place your first purchase orders. Once your strategy and purchasing moments are properly aligned, Optiply will start optimising your purchasing recommendations, you will be able to forward suggested replenishment orders as-is to your suppliers and directly experience the benefits.
