From Data to Decisions: A Smarter, Faster Path to Profitability

CoPlanner integrates and evaluates data from multiple sources, including past sales, markdowns, inventory turnover, regional demand and seasonality, to auto-generate a smart, performance-driven merchandise plan. Using conversational AI, 7thonline’s CoPlanner identifies winning patterns through contextual generative AI and applies trending insights at scale across categories. 

“Our goal is to make merchandise planning more intelligent, data-driven and automated,” said Max Ma, CEO of 7thonline. “CoPlanner helps retailers start smarter by building on what already works, and then evolving those plans as conditions change. Automatically, planning gets more precise and better over time as the system learns which planner-made adjustments are most accurately reflected in real-time data.”

Designed for Merchandisers, Powered by AI

By combining automation with adaptability, CoPlanner allows retailers to:

• Save hours of manual planning work and make sense of their data

• Launch initial plans based on proven performance

• Continuously refine and adjust plans in response to new data

• Track plan-to-actual variance and update in real-time
