Retail operational intelligence & orchestration

See the Whole Retail Operation.

Oreteus is an operational intelligence and orchestration platform that connects with a retailer's existing systems and data sources, transforming operational information into timely, coordinated action.

It correlates operational information, identifies situations requiring intervention and delivers actionable intelligence to the appropriate level of management — helping teams understand, own and resolve issues before they become losses.

From visibility to intelligence

From spreadsheets and static dashboards to live operational intelligence.

Oreteus adds context, identifies what requires attention and turns insight into accountable action.

One intelligence layer

Your retail systems have data. Oreteus makes it actionable.

Oreteus sits above the systems you already use. It connects operational signals, understands their business context and turns the exceptions that matter into accountable action at every level.

Built around your retail model

One platform. The right capabilities for the way you trade.

Oreteus is configured around the retailer's operating model. Applicable capabilities are then governed by the licensed scope and each user's responsibility.

Standard Retail

Sales, replenishment, procurement, margin and operational control without unnecessary account workflows.

Customer Account Retail

Customer profiles, statements, limits and buying intelligence without forcing advanced collections.

Credit / Debtors Retail

Account intelligence with arrears, instalments, submissions, reconciliation and governed collections.

Hybrid Retail

A unified model for retailers operating across cash, customer-account and credit-led channels.

Closed-loop intelligence

Intelligence is only valuable when it leads to resolution.

Oreteus carries each important signal from business context and severity through ownership, intervention, monitoring and organisational learning.

Information with ownership

The right signal. At the right level.

Oreteus does not simply publish reports. It routes exceptions and decisions through the operating hierarchy so every level sees what it can act on, accepts responsibility and records progress.

Each exception carries its severity, business exposure, responsible owner, intervention deadline, recommended remedy, escalation path and resolution status. Leadership can see what is assigned, accepted, in progress or overdue.

Designed to connect

Keep your core systems. Add intelligence, orchestration and operational order.

Oreteus is not an ERP replacement. It integrates with point-of-sale, ERP, SQL databases, data warehouses and business APIs, then adds context, recommended interventions, ownership and evidence above the systems you already trust.

Product training

Adoption is part of the implementation.

Oreteus training is role-based and grounded in the decisions each team must make. Users learn their workflows, responsibilities and escalation paths using realistic retail scenarios.

02

Stock & store operations

Use ageing, replenishment, transfer and stock-control workflows effectively.

03

Procurement teams

Prioritise demand, purchase orders, supplier follow-up, GRVs and overdue commitments.

04

Customer accounts & collections

Use customer, credit and collection workflows appropriate to the configured retail model.

Training delivery options

Implementation onboarding, administrator enablement, role-based user sessions and refresher training.

Commercial model

One implementation. A licence that rewards commitment.

Oreteus separates the work required to deploy the platform from the ongoing right to use, maintain and update it. This gives retailers a clear once-off implementation cost and a predictable monthly software licence.

Once-off implementation

R480,000

Starting price for discovery, agreed configuration, implementation onboarding and controlled go-live. Final scope is confirmed before work begins.

Software licensing

From R48,000

per month on a five-year agreement

Includes the licensed platform, current core modules, unlimited users within the licensed organisation and product updates.

Licence terms

Longer commitments receive a lower monthly rate. Values below show the current licence price before VAT and any agreed annual CPI adjustment.

Deployment on your terms

Built around control, separation and trust.

Deploy on-premise, in a private cloud or through a managed environment. Role-based access and isolated customer configurations protect the boundary between data, users and organisations.

Role-based access

People see only what their responsibilities require.

Data separation

Demo, trial and production environments remain isolated.

Flexible deployment

On-premise, private cloud or managed hosting.

Start with a controlled 30-day trial.

After a guided demonstration, qualified retailers can evaluate Oreteus using an isolated environment and a time-bound licence.
