Intelligent Alternatives That Expand
Every Decision
More choices mean more conversions. Replenit's Substitute Agent uses synthetic data generation to surface the most relevant alternatives based on usage patterns, brand affinity, and price sensitivity, whether a product is unavailable or the customer simply deserves better options.

How It Works
Four Autonomous Steps
From availability detection to intelligent substitute, fully autonomous, zero manual work.
Availability Detection
Replenit continuously monitors product availability across your catalog. When a product becomes unavailable or discontinued, the Substitute agent is immediately activated with full customer context.
Customer Profile Analysis
Using synthetic data generation, the agent reasons about each customer's preferences including brand affinity, usage patterns, price sensitivity, and purchase history to identify the most relevant substitute.
Collaborative Agent Integration
The Substitute Agent collaborates with any active agent including replenishment, cross-sell, churn, and winback, ensuring substitutes serve the right strategic purpose at the right moment in the customer journey.
Intelligent Substitute Delivery
The best alternative is automatically delivered through your existing channels with contextual reasoning, explaining why this substitute matches the customer's needs and preferences.
