Vellox 8 – new platform with built-in digital analyst

We have been building analytics for wholesalers, e-commerce businesses and manufacturers for many years. Now we are taking the next step. Vellox 8 is our new platform, and it brings everything together in one place: apps for the areas where you need to add and manage your own data, and a built-in digital analyst that does the work of finding the answers.

We plan to launch Vellox 8 during the first quarter of 2027.

Vellox 8 is a platform with two connected parts:

• Apps for specific areas of the business, where you add data that is not in the ERP system and get analysis tailored to the way you actually work.
• A digital analyst built into the platform. You ask a question in plain English and get an answer based on your company's own figures.

The foundation is the same as before: Vellox Engine collects data from your ERP system – orders, invoices, inventory, customers and purchasing – and structures it in our data warehouse. That means the analyst and the apps always work on the same data, with the same definitions. Read more about how we work with AI and business data.

From launch, Vellox 8 includes the following apps, among others:

Freight

Add your freight costs and see what shipping really costs per customer, order and item – and how it affects your margin.

Budget

Build your budget directly in Vellox and follow up actuals against budget in the same environment as the rest of your analysis.

Ledger

Create your own account groupings, income statements and financial KPIs based on your chart of accounts.

Restock

Get support for purchasing and restocking, so the right items are in stock without tying up unnecessary capital.

More apps will be added over time. One that is already available today is our product and supplier support. You can also see which modules are included in Vellox today.

In the film you will see how a CEO uses the digital analyst in Vellox 8 – from a first question to a finished report for management.

1. Ask a simple or complex question

It can be a short question or a full brief: "Give me an overall analysis of our company over the past twelve months. Analyse sales and profitability, review costs and inventory capital, and identify our biggest challenges and opportunities."

2. Vellox analyses your data and answers with facts

The analyst works through the data in several steps and answers with figures, charts and tables. Every number comes straight from your data warehouse, so you can follow exactly how the answer was produced.

3. Keep asking

The answer is a starting point, not an endpoint. Ask the analyst to dig deeper into the areas with the greatest impact, which risks you should act on and where the potential for improvement lies.

4. See where the growth is – and what to prioritise

The analyst finds patterns and anomalies, shows what drives profitability and suggests what management should prioritise.

5. Let Vellox create a report for management

With a single question, the analyst builds a strategic report covering the current situation, profitability, customers, delivery and inventory, risks and opportunities, plus an action plan with goals and KPIs. The report can be shared with colleagues and adjusted – by Vellox or manually.

Vellox 8 is built on the same data warehouse and the same data model you use today. Power BI and Excel remain available as interfaces for anyone who wants to keep working there. The difference is that you now also get your own environment with apps and a digital analyst, making it far easier to produce analyses and reports.

We plan to launch Vellox 8 in Q1 2027. Until then, we are showing the platform in small groups and letting a number of customers test it. Read more about how to get started with Vellox.
