The Algorithm That Protects
EUR 0 a Year.
A EUR 20M-revenue natural stone exporter loses an average of EUR 420,600 per year to misallocation. That is 2.1% of gross revenue, gone. Double-selling, suboptimal allocation, reservation conflicts -- silent margin killers that compound every quarter.
The Noria Allocator evaluates 6 optimization strategies simultaneously, detects conflicts in O(1) time, and manages reservations automatically. It paid for itself in 11 days.

The Industry's Most Expensive Spreadsheet
The industry standard for stone allocation: WhatsApp groups, shared Excel files, and "check with Ahmed if block 992 is available." A sales rep in Athens promises 200 square meters of Calacatta to a client in Dubai. At the same moment, a colleague in Milan reserves the same blocks for a project in New York. Nobody knows until the container is being loaded and two clients expect the same stone.
One wrong answer costs EUR 12,000 per container conflict. A replacement shipment. An expedited delivery. A client who never trusts you again.
But double-selling is only the visible damage. The invisible losses are worse: sending Grade A material to low-margin clients because nobody checked the margin impact. Letting premium blocks age in inventory because the sales team does not know they exist. Packing containers at 75% capacity because the person doing allocation cannot see all warehouses at once.
These losses add up to 2.1% of gross revenue. For a EUR 20M exporter, that is EUR 420,600 per year -- every year -- flowing silently out of the business.
EUR 12,000. The average cost of a single container conflict. One block, two clients, zero good outcomes.

Six Ways to Allocate. Each One Solves a Different Problem.
Select the strategy that matches your priority, or let the AI evaluate all six simultaneously and recommend the optimal path.
Visual Harmony
Clients reject mismatched veins. This ensures visual continuity across every slab in a shipment. Match scores evaluate color, veining density, and pattern flow before a single block is committed.
Best for: Architect specifications and luxury installations
Inventory Flush
Aging inventory loses 15-20% of its value per quarter. This strategy prioritizes blocks that have been sitting longest, clearing storage costs and freeing capital before depreciation erodes your margins.
Best for: Seasonal turnover and warehouse optimization
Load Optimized
Fill containers to 94%+. Save EUR 2,500 per shipment with 3D bin-packing that considers weight distribution, axle loads, and center of gravity. Every percent of unused space is money you are shipping as air.
Best for: International shipments and bulk orders
Velocity Track
Fulfill urgent orders from high-velocity inventory at the nearest warehouse. Never miss a deadline because the system routed from the wrong location. Speed without sacrificing allocation quality.
Best for: Rush orders and time-sensitive projects
Margin Leader
Maximize margin by matching premium slabs to premium clients automatically. The algorithm evaluates the markup potential of every block-client combination and recommends the highest-yield allocation path.
Best for: Premium clients and large orders
Premium Reserve
Reserve your best material for top-tier clients automatically. VIP protection built into every allocation decision. When Grade A Calacatta arrives, the system already knows who gets first access.
Best for: VIP client management and strategic accounts

O(1) Conflict Detection. The Feature That Pays for Everything Else.
When a sales rep tries to allocate Block #992-A, the system instantly checks all existing reservations, pending quotes, and active orders. Not in seconds. Not in milliseconds. In constant time, regardless of inventory size. If a conflict exists, the system does not just warn -- it suggests alternatives with match scores.
This is not a notification that arrives too late. This is a gate that prevents double-selling before it happens. Every allocation attempt passes through the conflict engine. No exceptions. No overrides without management approval.

Reservations That Manage Themselves
No more sticky notes. No more "I think that block is available." Reservations are real-time, auto-expiring, and auditable.
Auto-Expiring Reservations
Set 24h, 48h, 72h, or custom expiry windows. When a reservation expires, the block returns to available inventory automatically. No manual cleanup. No forgotten holds blocking sales.
VIP Priority Queuing
Top-tier clients get automatic first access to premium material. When Grade A Calacatta arrives, the system notifies VIP account managers before the block hits general availability.
Reservation Audit Trail
Every reservation, modification, and release is logged with timestamp, user, and reason. When a client asks why their reservation was released, you have the answer. When compliance audits your allocation, you have the evidence.
Multi-User Conflict Prevention
Two sales reps cannot reserve the same block simultaneously. The system enforces mutual exclusion at the database level. No race conditions. No 'I clicked first' arguments.
Test Before You Commit. See the Margin Impact of Every Decision.
Before committing an allocation, run "what-if" scenarios. The Margin Sandbox evaluates all 6 strategies on the same order simultaneously and shows the margin impact of each path side-by-side. In seconds, not hours.
Your best sales rep makes allocation decisions based on experience and intuition. The Margin Sandbox gives them data. They still make the call -- but now they see the margin difference between their instinct and the algorithm's recommendation. On a EUR 50,000 order, that difference is often EUR 3,000-5,000.
EUR 3,500
Margin difference between the best and worst strategy on a single order. Multiply by 200 orders per year.
