SISA · A product by Cart-Ops

Help shoppers choose.
Help your business grow.

SISA is an AI shopping assistant for fireworks retailers. It helps customers build a complete cart around their plans and budget, while supporting your sales goals.

Built and tested. Now ready for retailer pilots.

Meet SISAA conversation that leads to a cart
A customer describes their plans
“I’m planning a backyard celebration. I want lots of color and a big finish, for around $300.”
SISA brings the choices together
  • Products suited to the occasion
  • Budget and available offers considered
  • Three complete carts to choose from

Illustration of the shopping experience

How it works

From “What should I buy?”
to a complete shopping cart.

Shoppers should not need to understand every product in your catalog. SISA helps them make an informed choice in three simple steps.

  1. 1

    Describe the occasion

    The customer shares their budget, preferences, and plans in an ordinary conversation.

  2. 2

    Compare three choices

    SISA builds Best Value, Alternative, and Gold Standard carts, with an explanation of each option.

  3. 3

    Make it their own

    The customer can keep, remove, or swap items. SISA adjusts the cart around their feedback.

What about the budget?

Best Value and Alternative target 97–100% of the customer’s budget. Gold Standard offers a premium option 7–10% above it, clearly presented as an upgrade.

Why retailers use SISA

Your customer’s needs.
Your business priorities.

Keep the shopping experience personal while giving your team control over what recommendations accomplish.

Explore the experiment results

Support more profitable sales

Give higher-margin products more weight when SISA builds a cart. See the effect on gross profit and revenue in the experiment below.

Bring attention to excess stock

Prioritize products you want to move, while working within the shopper’s budget and available inventory.

Make changes without rebuilding a campaign

Update your goal, product priorities, or promotions in one place. New shopping sessions use the latest settings.

Explore the evidence

See what changes when
SISA follows a business goal.

Each experiment sends the same 1,000 simulated shoppers through SISA twice — once with the business goal switched off, once with it on. Everything else stays identical, so the gap between the two lines is the goal’s effect. Press play to watch it build, or drag the timeline.

What do these experiments tell us?

They show how changing SISA’s recommendation priorities affects a modeled store. They are useful evidence for a pilot, not measured customer sales or a promise of future performance.

Read the experiment setup and limitations
The comparison
Both sides use SISA. The baseline has the business goal set to 0%; the comparison uses the selected goal and emphasis. “Goal off” does not mean a store without SISA.
The inputs
1,000 synthetic customer requests, a saved 547-product catalog, and 74,466 starting units. Inventory and product costs were modeled, not supplied as actual retailer financial records.
The process
Each run processes requests in sequence and reduces inventory as items sell. The saved runs use the Best Value cart. Promotions are disabled in these experiments; they do not measure coupon performance.
The measures
Revenue is the modeled selling value. Gross profit is revenue minus modeled product costs, before operating expenses and SISA fees. Units sold counts individual units. The recorded overstock measure counts units from products that started above 150 units. Average retail per unit divides recorded revenue by units sold at that point in the replay. “Products with 300+ units left” counts catalog items still in the heaviest stock band, recorded every 20 orders.
The limits
The saved runs filled 996 of 1,000 requests. They do not measure conversion rates, customer satisfaction, or real-world demand. Each experiment uses its own recorded baseline; small differences exist between those baselines. This player replays saved results rather than running the optimizer live.
