Syrup

Overview

Syrup was a New York company using AI to forecast demand and plan inventory for fashion and retail brands[1]. The company built an AI-native supply chain platform that enabled global retailers and inventory-intensive businesses to plan, buy, price, and allocate with confidence[2]. Syrup's platform leveraged proprietary neural network-based engines trained on granular sales data, product imagery, and external signals including social sentiment, influencer trends, and weather patterns[3]. The platform was trusted by leading retailers including Faherty and Reformation[4]. According to Anaplan, Syrup's platform delivered 5-10% margin improvements, 10% higher sell-through, and 20-30% reductions in inventory costs, translating to more than $20 million in annual savings per $1 billion in revenue on average[5]. Syrup Tech was acquired by Anaplan, announced on September 9, 2025[6].
