One log for the whole team. Three kinds of money, never added together.

Every decision any employee brings you ends up in one outcomes log: money at risk, cash freed and realised profit, each next to the decision behind it. Profit is shown only when it can be measured against stores that did not get the change.

We need
Read-only sales, stock and waste data from your EPOS or ERP.
We reply the same working day.

The team recommends and prepares. Your people decide.

Watch · analyseRecommend · prepareAct · after pilotAuto · not offered
They work on their own around the clock: stock is checked overnight, so the findings are ready before you open, and tills are watched live. What they may do in your systems is up to you: at launch they recommend and prepare drafts, and acting is switched on only after a pilot, one action at a time and within limits you set. Prices and payments always stay with people.

Before you send the file.

We run Premier, Londis or Budgens stores. Does it work with our EPOS?

Yes, if your EPOS can export sales by store and day and stock by item as CSV or Excel. Ari checks your orders across every supplier, Booker included, against case sizes and minimums. marql changes nothing in your EPOS or at your wholesaler: orders still go through your usual ordering, after your OK.

Which EPOS systems do you connect to?

Today marql works from an export: any EPOS that saves sales and stock as CSV or Excel. Direct connections to Epos Now, ShopMate and other EPOS systems are not live yet.

What do we need to send?

One export of sales by store and day and stock by item (and by size, for fashion), as CSV or Excel. Purchase costs are optional and add the margin findings. Any EPOS or ERP that exports CSV or Excel works.

What happens to our data?

The export is read-only and stays yours. It is stored encrypted in the EU (AWS, Stockholm) and processed by AI providers in the United States. It is never sold or used to train AI models, and [email protected] deletes it on request.

Is the stock check really free?

Yes. The report comes back to you within 24 hours of the export, and you keep it whether or not you go further.

Do the AI employees change anything in our systems?

No. marql reads your EPOS and accounting and never changes anything in them. The AI employees prepare proposals and your people decide. With e:corg 2.0, an approved order or transfer is created as a draft.

What does hiring the team cost?

£49 for the first month, whatever the number of stores. After that, from £175 per store a month, lower per store as you grow. Cancel any time from your billing settings: no contract and no notice period.
