"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.

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.
