THE PROBLEM

Getting to Your Planning Data Takes Longer Than It Should

Planners, directors, and executives spend hours pulling reports, chasing numbers across systems, and waiting for analysts to surface answers. That time compounds into real cost across every planning cycle.

Impact Analytics MCP puts the answers directly in their hands, without the wait.
WHAT IS MCP

MCP Is the New Standard for Connecting AI to Your Systems

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT connect directly to the systems where your business data and logic live, and act on them in real time.
‍
Think of it as giving your AI Agent a live, secure line into Impact Analytics. It is a direct connection to your actual plan, governed and grounded in the numbers that matter.
WHY IS IMPACT ANALYTICS MCP DIFFERENT

Your AI Agent Works on a Purpose-Built Planning Engine

Every response returned through enterprise MCP is grounded in data that has already been cleaned, validated, and processed through Impact Analytics proprietary planning and optimization engine. The agent reasons on top of decisions, ready to act.

Forward-looking sell-through signals built from your own sales history instead of generic market averages.
Allocation Optimization
Constraint-aware distribution logic that accounts for pack rules, DC capacity, and store-level needs.
Price & Promo Intelligence
Markdown cadence and promotional lift models baked into every number your agent touches.
Financial Plan Reconciliation
OTB, receipt flow, and margin targets already aligned to your fiscal calendar and business hierarchy.
SizeSmart
