An AI-driven retail decision platform and last-mile transportation management suite.
Connect assortment, shelf, inventory, promotions and delivery so teams can automate routine decisions, keep products available and protect margin.
What makes us different
Unlocking Retail Potential: The Secret Behind Baltic Petroleum’s 62% Sales Growth31:45LEAFIO's difference is the decision loop: assortment, planograms, demand, replenishment and promotions share one platform, and Baltic Petroleum's deputy CEO says the ability to implement two solutions on that platform was the deciding factor.1- Rather than replace the ERP, LEAFIO uses it as the data foundation and adds specialist AI workflows for SKU-store forecasting, orders and shelf execution.23
- The shelf workflow carries a central planogram into mobile store tasks and AI image checks instead of stopping at an Excel or email handoff.4
- For delivery operations, a Qualiko logistics coordinator says Rinkai TMS made route planning more efficient, systematic and accurate, while the planning engine optimizes cost under capacity, time-window and road constraints.56
One connected decision layer links assortment changes to planograms and replenishment instead of leaving category, shelf and inventory teams in separate systems.

The problem it solvesCentral teams cannot manually inspect every shelf image quickly enough to prevent missed sales and persistent compliance gaps.

In the worked example, the image contains one facing where two were planned, while the system shows 50 units in stock and points to store execution rather than inventory as the likely cause. Watch at18:38

How we compare
How to Drive Retail Growth: Roadmap to AI Innovations [Webinar]7:55LEAFIO draws the main retail-platform contrast against broad ERP suites and disconnected departmental tools: the ERP remains the data foundation, while specialized modules add AI-driven assortment, shelf, inventory and promotion decisions.12- For Rinkai TMS, the market overview separates basic routing tools, focused cloud TMS products and full enterprise suites, placing Rinkai in the SaaS tier for last-mile optimization.3
- Rinkai TMS optimizes cost without dropping time-window, capacity and route constraints, then compares planned routes with GPS actuals.45
- A cited Coca-Cola deployment illustrates coexistence rather than wholesale replacement: ORTEC handled full-truck transport while Rinkai handled last-mile delivery.6
Manual, fragmented and general-purpose systemsLEAFIO characterizes broad ERP suites as the mission-critical data core, but says their all-in-one scope can leave specialist retail decisions slower and less advanced.

Manual, fragmented and general-purpose systemsLEAFIO characterizes separate departmental applications, Excel sheets, email and chat as fragmented handoffs that duplicate support and hide the shared data AI needs.
LeafioLEAFIO uses one platform so an assortment decision can trigger planogram work and replenishment without re-entering the change in each department.
Manual, fragmented and general-purpose systemsLEAFIO characterizes manual ERP adjustments and long-range static forecasts as too slow to follow demand changes at individual SKU-store combinations.
LeafioLEAFIO recalculates SKU-store forecasts, buffers and orders as sales, lead times, seasonality and promotions change.
Manual, fragmented and general-purpose systemsLEAFIO characterizes Excel-, email- and Photoshop-based planograms as slow to distribute, difficult to verify and unable to scale cleanly across large store networks.
