AI and Ops studio helping brands grow while staying small

Telemyr

Founded by Rafael , a CTO and COO whose last venture took investment from of an LVMH , backed venture, and Fermin , an AI scientist with a background in robotics. We offer brands a better way to scale operations than hiring.

We use the latest tech and processes to scale operations profitably, so you can focus on product, brand and community.

S&OP

One plan for the whole business.

We set up a planning rhythm your team can keep. Sales, supply and buying work from the same forecast. When something changes, everyone knows what to do next.

S&OP weekly meeting: net revenue month to date 6.2% ahead of plan, revenue by channel, units against plan pacing, an AI summary and the products with the least stock cover.
S&OP purchase orders: a 3,000 unit order for the Organic Cotton Tee in transit, split into two deliveries, above the list of other open orders.

*Figures on mockups are dummy data for demo purposes

  • Demand Planning

    A forecast per product, colour and size, built from sales and the season plan.

  • Supply Planning

    A stock roll-forward per SKU, with cover targets, lead times and minimum orders.

  • Purchasing

    Suggested buys become purchase orders, tracked from the supplier to the warehouse.

  • Collection planning

    Season targets by category, product and colour, approved by the team.

  • Weekly meeting

    Pacing, projections and stock risk on one page, with an AI summary.

  • Scenarios

    Try a new market or warehouse without touching the live plan.

02 / 05

Data Analytics

Numbers everyone trusts.

We bring your data into one place, in tools your team already uses. Everyone sees the same revenue, stock and margin. Reports are built for the meetings where decisions get made.

Point at a system to follow its data. Point at an app to see what feeds it.Tap a system to follow its data. Tap an app to see what feeds it.

Every system, one source of truth.

We connect the systems you already have. Their data goes into one data warehouse. It updates through the day. Every app reads from it. A number means the same thing everywhere.

  • Online store

    Orders, products, variants, customers, refunds and abandoned checkouts.

    Feeds every app
  • Paid search

    Spend, clicks and conversions, and paid search in the channel reports.

    Feeds Analytics and the Assistant
  • Paid social

    Spend, return on ad spend and placements, by campaign, market and product.

    Feeds Analytics and the Assistant
  • Web analytics

    Traffic, sources, markets and the conversion funnel.

    Feeds Analytics
  • Warehouse

    Stock by location, with incoming, reserved and damaged units.

    Feeds every app
  • Wholesale

    Wholesale orders, the draft order pipeline and the order book.

    Feeds S&OP, Analytics and Retailer ATS
  • Budget

    The budget and forecast workbook from the finance team.

    Feeds S&OP and Analytics
  • Accounting

    Invoices and costs, so margins use the real numbers.

    Feeds Analytics and the Assistant
Analytics trending products, with the Organic Cotton Tee's own page: 1,284 units in 30 days, 10.4 weeks of cover, size mix, conversion and its paid social ads.
Analytics marketing: paid social spend, return on ad spend, cost per acquisition, weekly spend against attributed revenue and the top paid search campaigns.

*Figures on mockups are dummy data for demo purposes

  • Building a single source of truth

    Every system lands in one warehouse. Every figure is defined once, in writing.

  • Analytics and business insights

    Revenue, profit, markets, products and marketing, for every team.

  • Sales and commercial support

    Accounts, pipeline and the order book next to sell-through and stock.

  • Profit and loss

    Daily, weekly or monthly P&L against the budget.

  • Marketing

    Ad spend and returns, linked to the products they sell.

  • Find anything

    Jump to any page, metric, market or product from the command bar.

03 / 05

Automation

Less manual work, fewer mistakes.

We follow the work first, then simplify it. Systems take the repetitive steps. Your people keep the decisions.

Automations: the morning sync of five systems, one retried after a rate limit, with every check passed.
Automations: a demand forecasting model scored against actuals and retrained, with its accuracy and versions.

*Figures on mockups are dummy data for demo purposes

  • System integration

    Scheduled syncs between your store, warehouse, wholesale and finance, retried and checked.

  • AI powered process automation

    Agents carry out routine work, like splitting an order across two warehouses.

  • Machine Learning forecasting models

    Models forecast demand, are scored against actuals every month and retrained.

  • Approvals

    People approve what matters in one click, with the reasons shown.

  • Monitoring

    Every run is logged. Problems are flagged before anyone notices.

  • Time saved

    Hours saved per team, measured every week.

04 / 05

AI Enablement

AI that gives your team time back.

We start with a real task, not a tool. We test AI on everyday work and measure the time it saves. What works stays, in your accounts, for your team to run.

Assistant: the Monday brief written from the dashboards, each sentence checked against the chart.
Assistant: hours saved each week, tasks done with AI and weekly active users, by team.

*Figures on mockups are dummy data for demo purposes

  • LLM Deployment

    Assistants in your own cloud, on your data, with answers that cite their sources.

  • Workflow automations

    Drafts for customer emails and product copy. A person chooses what goes out.

  • Business Reporting

    The Monday brief writes itself, and every line is checked against the chart.

  • Permissions

    People only get answers from what they can already see.

  • Measured

    Time saved per task and per team, reported every week.

  • Your accounts

    Models, data and logs stay in your cloud and are never used for training.

05 / 05

Logistics

Stock in the right place, at the right cost.

We choose warehouse partners on outcomes, not rate cards. We find where margin leaks between order and delivery. Then we automate how stock is planned and moved.

Logistics: a carrier invoice checked line by line against the agreement, with two lines held back.
Logistics: the cost to serve an average order, from product cost to contribution margin, before and after the actions.

*Figures on mockups are dummy data for demo purposes

  • 3PL selection and network design

    Warehouses and carriers chosen on cost, speed and service, zone by zone.

  • Partner management

    A scorecard for every partner, and every invoice checked against the agreement.

  • Margin improvement

    The cost to serve from order to delivery, and the actions that close the gaps.

  • Inventory management + automation

    Stock that runs short raises its own purchase order.

  • Partner portal

    Retail partners see what is free to sell, in their own market and currency.

  • Shipments

    Small shipments to one receiver merged, and the right carrier on every lane.

Start with one service. The rest connect to the same data.
