Ask Your Data Anything: Introducing VAL Oracle

Today we're launching VAL Oracle, the AI that answers business questions instantly. No dashboards to learn. No SQL to write. No analyst queue. Just ask in plain English—"Which stores underperformed last month?" or "What should I reorder this week?"—and get answers with insights, trends, and recommendations in seconds. Your data finally speaks your language.

VAL Oracle Non-Agentic Interface

The End of Waiting for Answers

Dashboard down three levels. Filter by date range. Select the right metrics. Export to Excel. Pivot. Calculate. Repeat tomorrow. Every business question becomes a 20-minute treasure hunt through tools and tabs. And if the answer isn't in your standard reports? Wait hours—or days—for an analyst to write a custom query. VAL Oracle makes that friction disappear.

Four AI Experts, One Conversation

VAL Oracle comes with four specialized personas, each built for different parts of your business. No generic chatbot. No learning curve. Just pick your domain and start asking.

Performo knows performance inside out. Revenue trends, growth patterns, store comparisons, YoY analysis—ask any performance question and get ranked insights showing what's working and what needs attention.

Menulytics speaks menu engineering. Product mix optimization, margin analysis, category performance, sales velocity—identify your stars, plowhorses, puzzles, and dogs with specific recommendations for each.

Stocksmith understands inventory. Reorder recommendations based on actual velocity, anomaly detection in GRN patterns, stock movement analysis, waste reduction opportunities—know exactly what to order and when.

Recono tracks every dollar. Payment settlement variances, transaction reconciliation, financial data validation—surface discrepancies instantly with transaction-level details for immediate investigation.

Questions to Answers in Seconds

Need a pre-meeting performance update? Ask Performo: "Summarize last month's performance across all stores." Get revenue trends, top performers, bottom strugglers, and YoY comparisons—comprehensive briefing in under a minute.

Optimizing your menu strategy? Ask Menulytics: "Run menu engineering analysis for Q3." Receive categorized product matrix—12 stars to promote, 8 plowhorses to reprice, 5 puzzles needing positioning, 6 dogs to retire—with action items for each category.

Inventory feeling off? Ask Stocksmith: "Show me GRN anomalies over the past quarter." Discover suppliers with consistent variances, over-ordered products wasting capital, and erratic patterns signaling procurement problems.

Chasing an $8K settlement gap? Ask Recono: "Where's the October payment variance?" Pinpoint 15 unrecorded NETS transactions from specific dates. Resolve it the same day.

AI That Thinks Beyond Queries (Beta Preview)

VAL Oracle Agentic Bot

When pre-built queries aren't enough, VAL Oracle's agentic bot adapts. Ask open-ended questions like "Forecast next quarter's sales accounting for seasonality and recent trends"—and watch it write code, analyze two years of historical data, identify patterns, apply forecasting models, generate confidence intervals, and deliver visualizations with actionable insights. No data science degree required. Just ask, and the AI figures out how to answer.

This isn't just querying—it's autonomous analysis. The agentic bot writes custom analysis code on demand. It generates charts and visualizations tailored to your question. It calls advanced analytics models for forecasting and statistical analysis. Custom insights delivered at machine speed, explained in business language.

Available now in beta preview, the agentic bot extends VAL Oracle beyond guided personas into full autonomous analytics. The personas handle common questions with instant answers. The agentic bot tackles complex, custom analysis that requires code execution and advanced models.

Conversations That Remember

Ask "Which stores underperformed last month?" Then follow up: "What about the quarter before?" VAL Oracle remembers context. No repeating dates. No re-explaining metrics. No starting over. It's conversational intelligence that works like talking to an analyst who already knows your business, your data, and exactly what you're trying to solve.

Stop Querying, Start Asking

VAL Oracle is live now for all VAL customers. Open your dashboard and ask questions. No training. No setup. No waiting for analyst availability. Whether you're an executive tracking KPIs, operations hunting trends, finance chasing variances, or an analyst building custom forecasts—your answers are instant. The era of waiting for data insights is over. Ask, and know.
