About TrueGradient

TrueGradient is an AI-powered Integrated Business Planning (IBP) platform that functions as a comprehensive Planning OS for modern consumer brands and retailers. Founded in 2023, the tool is designed to replace traditional, fragmented planning methods—such as manual spreadsheets and disconnected software—with a centralized, AI-native environment. By unifying demand forecasting, inventory management, and pricing strategies, the platform helps organizations drive higher margins and eliminate the twin problems of lost sales due to stockouts and capital tied up in excess inventory. The platform operates using a specialized decision engine that utilizes Deep Learning and Automated Machine Learning (AutoML). The workflow is divided into three primary stages: goal description, data connection, and active planning. Users begin by selecting a template that fits their specific business needs, such as replenishment or markdown optimization. The system's AI agent then trains models specifically on the user's data to find the most efficient plan. This process allows users to perform causality analysis and run complex what-if scenarios, providing visibility into potential trade-offs and outcomes before any physical inventory decisions are executed. TrueGradient is primarily targeted at supply chain managers, demand planners, and operations leads within the CPG, fashion, and D2C sectors. It is particularly well-suited for teams managing complex multi-channel e-commerce operations where demand signals can be volatile. Because the platform offers a no-code, self-serve interface, it is accessible to organizations that may not have a dedicated data science department but still require sophisticated analytical capabilities to manage their growth and scale effectively across different regions. What sets TrueGradient apart from traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) add-ons is its emphasis on bridging the time-to-value gap. While many industrial planning tools require months of manual configuration and expert consulting, TrueGradient leverages its patented AutoML approach to compress implementation timelines down to a few weeks. Furthermore, the platform integrates directly with existing ERPs, databases, and marketplaces, ensuring that planning remains integrated across demand, replenishment, pricing, and assortment rather than operating in silos. This holistic approach provides a professional-grade solution that remains user-friendly for growing brands.
