Upshop has introduced Total Store Ordering, a unified, artificial intelligence-powered replenishment solution that automates and optimizes ordering across stores.
Built as a pillar of Upshop’s Total Store Operations platform, the solution brings every item, department and supplier into one intelligent workflow.
“Ordering is not a standalone task – it’s a storewide decision engine,” said Mike Sanders, CEO of Upshop. “With Total Store Ordering, retailers no longer have to choose between accuracy and simplicity. They can have both – and scale it chainwide.”
According to Upshop, ordering by department is inefficient – and costly. It leads to conflicting forecasts, redundant safety stock and inconsistent execution. It forces store leaders to train, retrain and hope for the best. In addition, it treats replenishment as a back-office task rather than a growth lever.
By generating one demand signal across the store and applying AI trained specifically on grocery’s real-world conditions – holidays, weather, dayparts, promotions – Upshop enables retailers to start anticipating.
“Ordering isn’t just about what’s on the shelf,” Sanders added. “It’s about what’s possible – when your team is equipped, your inventory is accurate, and your store runs on a complete, intelligent and actionable system.”
Total Store Ordering is just one part of Upshop’s Total Store Operations platform, an intelligent and actionable system that unifies forecasting, ordering, fresh production, associate workflow optimization, waste prevention and e-commerce orchestration into one synchronized operating model.
With four specialized operating suites – fresh, inventory, waste and e-commerce – Upshop transforms grocery’s core forces of supply, demand and time into strategic levers that drive margin, minimize waste and elevate the customer experience.
