AI that Runs E-Commerce Brands

Operand is building an AI to replace traditional consulting. We help businesses make better decisions by deeply analyzing their data across all sources—something consultants can’t do at scale. We’re starting in e-commerce and retail, where the businesses’ high data density and real-time feedback loops allow us to show impact fast. Our first capability is pricing and discount strategy. Operand considers everything—competitor pricing, ad strategy, inventory, and more—to ensure businesses maximize profit. And unlike other AI solutions, every Operand result is verified by human experts, including ex-MBB consultants, so you get actual impact, not just AI hype. We’re already generating 6-figure P&L improvements for early customers.

Why This Matters

For decades, businesses have spent millions on consultants who deliver slide decks filled with high-level recommendations—but without the ability to execute at scale.

Retail and e-commerce brands are drowning in data, spread across countless tools and platforms. They hire consultants who don’t code, buy software that doesn’t integrate, and rely on gut instincts when they should be acting on real analysis.

Operand changes that.

We built an AI that deeply understands a brand’s entire data ecosystem. Instead of waiting weeks for a consulting firm to put together a report, Operand analyzes the data in real time and delivers actionable recommendations.
