Retail Intelligence · Powered by Alwon

Your store runs itself. You just collect the revenue.

Alwon replaces manual store operations with real-time autonomous action. Every event that happens in your store — empty shelves, theft, checkout failures — is detected and resolved in seconds. Before it costs you.

If you sell it in a physical space, Alwon runs it.

From a single vending machine to a 50-gate airport terminal. From one corner pharmacy to a national supermarket chain.

The Problem

Physical retail has a $100 billion blind spot.

Four invisible drains. Most operators discover the size after it's already become a structural problem.

$100B+
lost to shrink annually

You're losing 1.5% of revenue to shrink right now.

You won't know about it until Monday's report — after it's already compounded into a structural problem. By then, the product is gone, the incident is cold, and the pattern repeats.

8.3%
of demand lost to stockouts

Your shelf went empty three hours ago. You just found out.

First you lose the sale. Then the customer. Manual inventory can't keep pace — by the time your system shows a stockout, they're already at a competitor.

3–5%
margin lost to static prices

Your prices are the same at 8am as they are at 8pm.

Competitors with dynamic pricing adjust in real time. You're giving away margin on every slow morning, every peak shift, every season change — and you won't see it until the quarter closes.

72%
of retailers without real-time data

Yesterday's report misses today's loss.

Nightly batch tells you what already happened. In a real store, problems compound in minutes. A shrink event goes undetected. An OOS lasts hours. Opportunities vanish in seconds. Batch is dead.

Alwon closes every one of these gaps — not with a report. With an OS that acts the moment each event happens.

Live simulation

Every second, your stores generate events. Alwon acts on all of them.

This is a live simulation of what Alwon sees in three stores simultaneously. Every event typed, persisted, and acted on in under 200ms.

The Solution

One OS. Every signal. Zero compromise.

Alwon ingests every event from every system in your store — from edge cameras to cloud checkout — and turns raw signals into automatic, traceable decisions. No guesswork. No lag.

  • Real-time event processing in under 200ms — edge to cloud
  • Computer vision alerts — cameras become active sensors
  • Autonomous inventory management — reorder before stockouts
  • Dynamic pricing engine — capture margin automatically, every shift
  • Unified operations dashboard — every KPI, one view
  • WhatsApp-native CX — receipts, NPS, and support without an app install

Why Alwon

Built different. Built for retail.

Generic platforms bolt on retail. Alwon was designed from the ground up for the physical store.

Real-time, not batch

Every event — pick, payment, camera alert — is processed in under 200ms. Not in nightly batch reports. Not in weekly reviews. Now.

Loss prevention built in

LP is not an add-on. It's woven into the OS. Every transaction, every shelf scan, every anomaly — automatically correlated.

Computer vision at the edge

Cameras become sensors. Shelves report themselves. Staff focus on customers, not manual counts that are stale before they're done.

Closes the loop automatically

Detection → decision → action. Alwon doesn't just alert you. It creates the task, routes it to the right person, and closes the ticket.

Architecture

Three layers. One truth.

Every store event travels from edge sensor to intelligent decision in under 200 milliseconds.
