Margin Manager

Two products. One that decides.
One that delivers.

Margin Manager™ is the recommendation engine that tells your activation platform what to promote, where, when, and to whom. Zitcha Core is the activation platform that delivers it. ZitchaAI makes both effortless.

Margin Manager

The brain behind every campaign decision.

Before any campaign runs, before any bid is placed, before any impression is served—Margin Manager reads your data and decides. It knows which products need the lift, which have the margin to support promotion, which channels will drive the best return, and which brands are most at risk of missing their targets. Then it hands Zitcha Core a clear set of instructions—and Zitcha Core goes and delivers.

The Model

Your retailer. Your margins. Your model.

Margin Manager is built custom for your business—your product margins, your inventory velocity, your vendor funding flows, your seasonal patterns. Not a generic algorithm that approximates. A model trained on your data, running in your cloud, giving recommendations that are specific to your RMN.

The language

A metric all stakeholders can align to.

The GM, the merchant, and the brand have never trusted the same number. Margin Manager gives them one, grounded in margin and inventory, not another ROAS figure.

The intelligence

Every decision informed by what actually matters.

Margin Manager reads product margin state, inventory cover, sell-through velocity, new-to-brand opportunity, and merchant category priorities simultaneously—then surfaces a ranked recommendation of what to promote, at what investment, across which channels. Not a dashboard. A decision.

The measurement

Every decision comes with full evidence.

Margin Manager doesn't just tell you what to do—it shows you why. Every recommendation is backed by a full evidence trail: what signals were read, what was weighted, and what outcome is expected. Your team, your merchants, and your brands see the reasoning, not just the result. No black boxes. No blind faith required.

What Margin Manager recommends — and tells Zitcha Core to activate

Which products

Ranked by margin headroom, stock cover, and sell-through opportunity

Which channels

Onsite, offsite, in-store, or audio — based on where the product is most likely to convert

At what investment

Budget allocation modelled against expected incremental return, not just historical spend patterns

For which brands

Vendor funding alignment, JBP commitments, and new-to-brand opportunity surfaced automatically

With what guardrails

Stock thresholds, margin floors, and category caps enforced automatically — no human override required

Full transparency

Every recommendation comes with full evidence. Our model shows you exactly why each decision was made — so your team, your merchants, and your brands can trust the output, not just accept it.

Zitcha Core

The engine that makes it happen.

Zitcha Core is where everything gets done. Ad serving, channels, inventory, brand self-serve, billing, and ZitchaAI — all in one place. Margin Manager tells it what to do. Zitcha Core does it.

Campaign builder

Build, optimise, and launch campaigns in natural language. No forms, no manual setup.

Report interpreter

Ask questions about performance in plain language. Get answers, not dashboards to navigate.

Signal surface

Proactively flags what needs your attention — before it becomes a problem.

Human in the loop

AI recommends. You approve. Every action is auditable and attributable to a person.

Where Retail Media Unites with Merchants and Brands

Slider

Retail Media Leadership

Responsible For: Balancing the delicate ecosystem between high-margin media revenue and sustainable long-term supplier relationships. They must ensure that the RMN is an extension of the retail business, not working against it.

Keeps (Half of) Them Up At Night: So many things! Where does AI best help my RMN. Brand partners losing faith in standard ROAS reporting while the internal CFO continues to press for increased ad revenue and appropriately high margin targets.

How Zitcha Helps: Our orchestration interface is just the beginning. It not only brings you visibility like you’ve never seen before - but multiplies your sales teams via Margin Manager. Zitcha provides the framework that ensures every dollar of ad spend is backed by a real-time view of whether the transaction actually pays.



Where Retail Media Unites with Merchants and Brands

Slider

Merchant

Responsible For: Category P&L, inventory turnover, gross margin ROI, and shelf-level profitability.

Keeps Them Up At Night: Seeing an RMN campaign where sales spike but wipe out stock, triggers creative merchant solutions, and potentially turns a profitable category negative.

How Zitcha Helps: Zitcha treats retail media as a category management tool. It automatically aligns RMN ad spend with merchant goals, focusing spend on products that move the needle for your P&L.

Retail Media Operations

Responsible For: Scaling campaign execution, managing the technical "plumbing" between retail data and ad platforms, and ensuring cross-functional alignment between digital and trade teams

Keeps them Up at Night: Spending more time manually stitching together fragmented data sets and spreadsheets than actually optimizing campaigns. Oh, and chasing down Merchant requests.

How Zitcha Helps: Zitcha simplifies the thousands of daily decisions required to plan, execute, optimize, and report on campaigns by using AI to handle the heavy lifting. This "human-in-the-loop" approach keeps you in the middle as the strategic lead, allowing you to scale your value without scaling manual effort.

Brand and Agency

Responsible For: Primarily planning, execution, and hitting sales targets. They need their retail media investment to perform to justify increased investment.

Keeps them Up at Night: If you’re at an agency, you are resource-starved - you need this to be easier. You need a partner with skin in the game. As a brand, you’re asking for more insights and overall better performance.

How Zitcha Helps: Zitcha’s Margin Manager is an insights machine. And like Retail Media Operations, Zitcha’s use of AI is not a bolt-on. We’ve rebuilt the platform from the ground up, infusing AI to simplify operations and reporting.

Who is it for

Built for Category Owners,Not Just Media Teams.

Every role on the retail floor has a different job to do. Zitcha speaks each of their languages.When retailers can see and act on every opportunity, inventory stops being a static list of placements and becomes a live profit engine that drives measurable, incremental margin.

Merchant

Responsible For

Category P&L, range architecture, supplier negotiations, promotional calendar, shelf space allocation.

Keeps them up at night

Trade spend is a black hole. No line of sight from promo investment to actual category margin lift. Media team runs campaigns with zero regard for what's in stock or on deal.

How Zitcha helps

Zitcha connects trade spend to media performance at the SKU level. Every dollar the merchant invests is measured against margin contribution — not click-through rates.

Every possible RMN media placement. All in one platform.

Retail media doesn't stop at the website. Every channel reads from the same margin model and spend goes where it actually moves the needle.

Your entire RMN inventory. One place. Full control.

Retail media inventory is complex. Onsite placements, offsite budgets, in-store screens, audio slots, across every brand and every channel. Zitcha brings it all into one view so your team can see, allocate, and optimize every placement without jumping between systems.

Single Inventory View

Every placement across every channel. Onsite, offsite, in-store, audio are visible in one unified inventory layer. No spreadsheets. No siloed systems.

Allocation & Utilization

See exactly what's sold, what's reserved, and what's available. Real-time utilization rates across your entire RMN so nothing goes to waste and nothing oversells.

Query Anything

Ask ZitchaAI or filter manually. Find available inventory by channel, brand, date, margin threshold, or stock status.

Close the loop on every dollar
that flows through your RMN.

Media revenue only counts when it's collected. Zitcha connects your retail media operations to your billing and finance stack. Every campaign commitment, every wallet draw, and every invoice is tracked, reconciled, and closed without manual work.

Wallet Management

Brand advertising wallets tracked in real time. Drawdown visibility for every campaign so brands know exactly what they've spent and what's available. Your finance team never chases a reconciliation again.

Salesforce Integration

Native integration with Salesforce Billing and Revenue Cloud. Campaign commitments flow directly into your order management and invoicing workflow. Close the loop from media booking to revenue recognition without re-keying data.

Automated Invoicing

Invoices generated automatically at campaign completion. Reconciled against delivery data, flagged for discrepancies, and pushed to your finance system. Your team spends time on strategy, not admin.

Revenue Visibility

Your GM sees media revenue in real time—booked, delivered, and invoiced. Finance sees the same number. No more end-of-month surprises or gaps between what the RMN reports and what accounting records.

PlanActivateMeasure

Everything you need to plan, activate, and measure retail media.

Zitcha connects people, partnerships, inventory, and data into a high-margin growth engine.

It replaces disconnected tools and spreadsheets with structured workflows that make every campaign easier to plan, sell, and measure.

Your brand. Your portal. Fully in your advertisers' hands.

Fully white-label your portal within your retailer's branded environment—your logo, your colors, your domain.

Inventory Visibility

Brands see available inventory, projected performance, and audience reach before they commit. No surprises at reporting time.

Budget & Wallet Control

Brands manage their own budgets, set spend caps, and draw down from pre-approved wallets—with real-time visibility on every dollar.

Performance Reporting

Incremental ROAS, attributed sales, new-to-brand households—all accessible in the brand's own reporting view, scoped to what they can see.

Proof Retail Media Moves Product

Standard ROAS is blind to what matters. Zitcha measures and reports incremental impact, in-store attribution, new-to-brand shoppers, and whether spend goes to products that can actually sell.

Incremental Impact

Measure the sales your media actually caused, not the ones that would have happened anyway. Incrementality separates true lift from baseline, so you fund what genuinely works.

In-store Attribution

Tie onsite and offsite media to what sells on the shelf. First-party and loyalty data connect ad exposure to in-store purchases, closing the online-to-offline loop.

New Customers

See whether a campaign is winning new customers or just rewarding loyal ones. Every conversion is split into new-to-brand and repeat, so you can prove real growth.

Spend that can Sell

ROAS means little if a product can't ship or erodes margin. Zitcha weighs stock, margin and sell-through, so budget flows to the SKUs that can actually convert.
