What will Aislevanta AI actually cost us?+
Aislevanta AI operates on a predictable model consisting of a flat monthly subscription tier tailored to your active store count and catalog scale, plus a one-time onboarding fee. There are no hidden per-seat markups or surprise compute fees for routine retail workflows.
Is there a setup or onboarding fee?+
Yes. One-time onboarding starts from $1,000 for Essential, $2,500 for Plus, and $5,000 for Enterprise tiers. This fee directly covers historical data sanitization, store and SKU hierarchy mapping, retail system connector authorization, and role-specific associate and merchandiser training prior to your first billing cycle.
Will AI automatically change our prices or inventory?+
Never without your explicit approval. The platform operates with strict human-in-the-loop guardrails. Every markdown recommendation, Merchandise Planning simulation, and multi-echelon stock rebalancing transfer is presented with an audit-ready impact breakdown for authorized merchandisers to review and approve.
What happens if our retail data is messy?+
Most enterprise retail data is fragmented across legacy ERPs, POS logs, and disparate spreadsheets. During the onboarding phase, our ingestion pipeline cleanses, normalizes, and reconciles SKU attributes, missing barcodes, and irregular historical sales curves so the intelligence models operate exclusively on verified baseline data.
Where should we start if we do not want to transform everything at once?+
You do not need to roll out all modules on day one. Most retail partners begin with a single high-impact operational bottleneck—such as Merchandise Planning to curb seasonal markdown loss, or Inventory Control to stop store-floor stockouts—and expand into assisted selling and fulfillment once initial ROI is proven.
What business problem should we expect it to solve first?+
The fastest and most immediate return typically comes from stockout reduction and working capital optimization. By aligning purchase orders and replenishment transfers with live store sales velocity rather than static historical averages, retail teams eliminate excess inventory while protecting high-velocity revenue lines.
How is it different from separate AI tools?+
Unlike point solutions or generic chatbots bolted onto disparate dashboards, Aislevanta AI unites planning, merchandising, sales floor clienteling, and fulfillment into a single operational nervous system. Data flows uninterrupted through your ERP, POS, and WMS without manual re-keying or contradictory departmental recommendations.
Do we have to move our data into your cloud?+
No. We offer both managed cloud (SaaS) and private self-hosted deployments. If your enterprise handles sensitive customer loyalty records or strict corporate compliance mandates, the platform can be deployed within your own dedicated cloud VPC or on-premises infrastructure while maintaining identical capabilities.
Will integrations or hardware cost extra?+
Pre-built connectors to documented APIs (Shopify, Square, Lightspeed, Klaviyo, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, etc.) are included within your deployment scope. Specialized physical hardware add-ons—such as industrial RFID dock portals or rugged barcode imagers—are scoped separately based on hardware units and site installation needs.
What help do we get before go-live?+
You receive dedicated technical onboarding support including data validation, custom approval hierarchy configuration, end-to-end integration dry runs, and role-specific training sessions for merchandisers, store managers, and IT teams. We only initiate production cutover once your team confirms readiness.
