The companies announced the partnership on November 5, 2026, according to [GlobeNewswire](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/11/05/3396288/0/en/elastic-suite-powered-by-forge-and-locally-partner-to-launch-smart-replenishment-turning-real-time-shelf-data-into-ready-to-review-orders.html). Smart Replenishment is already being piloted with brands including Kamik and Cascade Designs.\n\n## How Smart Replenishment Builds Draft Orders\n\n[Locally](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000nzs/locally)'s ShopSense technology tracks on-hand stock at the store level and derives sell-through from inventory changes, identifying what is selling and what is running low. [Elastic Suite](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0007116/elastic-suite) then combines that signal with a retailer's order history and applies each brand's criteria, including minimums, multiples, catalog criteria, pricing and sales programs, to build a suggested order. The platform cross-checks the draft against what is already on order and delivers it inside the platform brands and retailers already use.\n\nAndi Reischauer, VP of Product at Elastic, said: \"We're excited to partner with Locally. Fewer steps, one system… this is about winning on accuracy while unlocking revenue opportunity.\" Reischauer added that this is \"the first of several intelligence capabilities we're building directly into Elastic to make buying faster, smarter, and more intuitive.\"\n\nMark Strella, VP of Product at Locally, said: \"The challenge with replenishment is turning what's actually happening at the store level into action quickly.\" Strella said bringing ShopSense's Suggested Orders into the Elastic ordering workflow gives brands and retailers \"a highly tailored starting point for every reorder, helping them move faster, reduce guesswork, and optimize products on the shelf for sales.\"\n\nTrevor Drummond, Senior Director, Sales Operations & Strategy at Kamik, said: \"Our retailer conversations are moving from 'what do you need?' to 'here's what's selling.' Elastic and Locally put that insight in front of everyone, right at the moment an order begins.\" Drummond also said: \"We're piloting Elastic and Locally to see how far connected insight can take a retailer relationship. We expect it to go far.\"\n\n## Elastic Suite's Earlier Platform Expansions\n\nElastic Suite acquired PlumRiver Technology on January 1, 2015, for an undisclosed amount, extending its platform capabilities in B2B and wholesale commerce technology, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list an expanded ERP integration portfolio with purpose-built adapters for NetSuite, SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics and Acumatica, claiming coverage of 50+ ERP and back-office systems. The records also list added platform modules including an Online Payment Portal, an Offline Order Form, Multi-Ship ordering, Media Pack asset export and Advanced Rep Tools.\n\n## Where to See Smart Replenishment\n\nSmart Replenishment is available to brands that use both Elastic and Locally's ShopSense. Elastic Suite directs brands to [elasticsuite.com/locally](https://elasticsuite.com) for a live demo or to b2b@elasticsuite.com for more information.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
