Why we are here
About us.
We believe in augmenting human intelligence in retail for a better world.
With relevant data and the right technology, people and businesses in retail can solve hard problems and change the world for the better. In 2015 and 2016, when we looked at the technology available, we saw that forecasting and demand planning were largely subjective. Both told you what had already happened, then asked you to commit the buy on it.
Those methods don't touch the fundamental problem. Retailers still commit to inventory before they know what consumers will want, and the gap between what gets made and what gets bought costs the industry $1.73 trillion a year — 6.5% of global retail sales lost to overstocks and out-of-stocks. The biggest cost in retail is not the inventory. It is the distance between what gets made and what people actually wanted. We saw a need for a different kind of technology, and we knew it would take a different kind of company to build it. That is why we formed Stylumia.

What we do
We build retail action engines
Retail has moved from information systems, to dashboards, to decision support. Orbix is the next step: the decision arrives already made, with the reasoning attached, ready to act on.
The problems we solve
Four decisions that decide the year
Our foundation
We are building around agency, not just intelligence
We are a deliberate mix of data science and retail professionals. People who have run buys, built ranges and defended margins across retail categories, working alongside world-renowned data scientists including leading Kaggle grandmasters. Domain instinct on one side, rigor on the other. Neither wins by default.
In the field
We meet the challenges where they arise
Our customers have a deep understanding of their challenges in retail. We have proven products and a data-driven mindset. We collaborate with our clients on and off the field deploying our products, integrating their data and produce operational results in months. We believe in truly partnering with our clients to get the most out of our solutions.

How we build
Builder Mindset
We would rather build the thing than write about building the thing.
Ownership sits with whoever sees the problem first.
Invention counts whether it is something new or an existing thing rebuilt properly.
Nobody here waits to be handed a scope.
Ship Daily
Progress is something you can see, every day.
Small releases beat big reveals.
Speed is a discipline, not a rush.
If it can go out today, it goes out today.
Always Beta
Everyone here is a work in progress, including the product.
We learn from each other before we look outside.
Continuous improvement over the occasional overhaul.
We stay willing to make our own best work obsolete.
Technology Driven
Technology sits at the heart of every solution we build.
Data, analytics, automation and intelligence, pointed at real retail problems.
We go looking for what has newly become possible.
The aim is to stretch what people can do, not to replace them.
How we decide
1st Principle Problem Solving
Start at the foundation, not at the precedent.
Every problem gets broken down to its nuts and bolts.
The right answer is usually the simple one.
Lateral views are invited early, not after the plan is set.
Data Driven Decisions
Data is science. We treat it that way.
Decisions are grounded in research and analysis, not seniority.
Accuracy, credibility and authenticity all come from the same place.
We use data to see forward, not only to explain backward.
Deep Customer Empathy
The customer sits at the center, in our thinking and in what we design.
We think from the user’s side of the screen, with patience.
Solutions are shaped around people, not around our architecture.
Understanding the problem properly comes before proposing anything.
How we treat each other
Transparency
Open by default. Discreet only where it has to be.
Information is visible and accessible across levels.
We say things directly, and with empathy.
Confidentiality covers personal and financial matters. Nothing else.
Equality
No entitlements. No exceptions.
Respect does not vary by gender, tenure or title.
Leadership, accountability and risk-taking are expected at every level.
Every opinion counts, and gets heard.
Meritocracy
Growth follows contribution.
Performance is measured on objective data, not impressions.
What matters is the value added in the current context.
Fair rewards, visibly given.
Commitment Integrity
We do what we said we would do.
We walk the talk consistently, not occasionally.
Setting the example is the job, at every level.
Respect for each other is the baseline, not the reward.
Where we are going
Getting the product right, in every category.
With Orbix, Fortune 100 retailers, large global brands, small and medium brands and retailers, exporters and manufacturers are re-inventing how they spot demand, validate it, build ranges against it and price to it. Staying relevant, and improving economic and environmental sustainability while they do it. We are building a future where the entire ecosystem of retail supply and demand comes together contextually, where each participant delivers maximum value to their consumers, and where the waste sitting between the two shrinks year on year.
