Master Portal
One portal. Every banner.
Amplitude and 42 Signals give you product event data. ORIGIN gives grocery operators a single command center: all banners, all channels, all SKUs, live.
AI
Agents, not just queries
"Show me which stores have margin variance over 5% this week." ORIGIN's Origin AI agent runs the query, flags the anomalies, and writes the presentation slide, no analyst required.
Raw Data
11+ verticals ingested natively
Nexla and Daasity can move data. ORIGIN normalizes Instacart, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Shipt, POS, and 6+ more into a single grocery-native schema out of the box.
