The partnership between Onebeat and Zipline aims to connect real-time inventory recommendations with store execution, helping retailers act faster, reduce stock issues, and enhance CX.
Onebeat, an AI-driven inventory optimisation platform, and Zipline, a retail execution and communication brand, have announced a strategic integration offering. The pair stated, “a connected system that ensures smart inventory recommendations are understood and acted on by store teams, at speed and at scale”.
“Forecasting isn’t enough anymore. Retailers need to be able to leverage the real-time, store-specific data already available to them. More importantly, they need the tools and capability to act on that data quickly and consistently – that’s what this partnership delivers,” said Yishai Ashlag, CEO and Co-Founder at Onebeat.
“By connecting Onebeat’s dynamic AI-driven inventory decisions with Zipline’s execution platform, we’re closing the loop between insight and action and empowering retailers to move faster, perform better, and stay ahead of demand.”
The impact of the partnership is already clear. Busy Beaver adopted the integration to optimise store-to-store inventory transfers.

Melissa Wong, CEO and Co-Founder at Zipline, said, “We believe that store execution is everything. This integration gives retailers the agility to act on real-time data in the flow of day-to-day work so they can move faster.”
“It’s about connecting strategy to the frontline so teams can execute with consistency, even as conditions change.”
The partnership improves the CX by ensuring that shelves are stocked with the right products at the right time, reducing missed sales and improving shopper satisfaction.
