What is Increff?
Increff, built by NextSCM Solutions Pvt. Ltd., is a cloud retail technology platform headquartered in Bengaluru, India, with operational presences spanning North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Backed by institutional investors including Sequoia Capital, Premji Invest, 021 Capital, and TVS Capital, the software combines merchandise financial planning, supply chain logistics, warehouse distribution, and multi-channel order fulfillment into a centralized operational suite for retail brands.
In terms of financial and merchandise planning, Increff delivers specialized tools for merchandise financial planning, demand forecasting, and Open-to-Buy budget management. The software evaluates planned sales goals, target stock requirements, and available inventory to calculate available purchasing budgets. Merchandising features allow retail teams to design range architecture, execute smart buying strategies, and establish phased seasonal drop schedules. By connecting store-level demand signals with corporate revenue targets, the software guides retailers on how many style choices and unit quantities to purchase across store clusters.
To manage inventory allocation and logistics operations, Increff provides automated stock allocation, replenishment engines, inter-store transfer routing, markdown optimization, and continuous performance tracking through a KPI watchtower dashboard. Its warehouse operational suite includes a core Warehouse Management System, cross-dock processing, cloud warehouse capabilities, and barcode label software. These capabilities allow warehouse staff and logistics managers to oversee receiving, stock putaway, order picking, product packing, and outbound shipping across regional distribution hubs and main fulfillment centers.
The platform bridges physical store networks with digital selling channels through order orchestration and dedicated store solutions. It includes a central Order Management System alongside a Vendor Inventory Management and Fulfillment System. At physical retail locations, Increff powers Buy Online Pick Up In Store (BOPIS), Buy Online Return In Store (BORIS), endless aisle capabilities, and self-checkout systems. This setup enables retail businesses to utilize physical storefronts as local order pickup points, return processing centers, and network fulfillment nodes.
Increff maintains real-time cross-node inventory visibility across stores, warehouses, dark stores, and online marketplaces, updating stock figures in under 10 seconds. The software connects with third-party marketplaces, enterprise resource planning platforms, point-of-sale systems, logistics providers, and webshop solutions using encrypted REST APIs, webhooks, and scheduled data sync routines. Information security and governance across the platform are verified through ISO 27001 certification along with SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance audits.
