Forecasting

Forecasting platform enabled by Machine learning algorithms

OUR COMPETENCIES IN MACHINE LEARNING

Data science
Data science

Data processing and analysis to find common patterns, dependencies and areas for optimization: preventing out of stock, diving into promotions’ effectiveness, demand drivers’ decomposition etc.

Forecasting
Forecasting

Forecasting platform based on machine learning algorithms: demand forecast, pricing, promotional sales, new products forecast, inventory forecast etc.

Optimization
Optimization

Recommendation models maximize profit, revenue, or costs reduction: promotional investment optimization, inventory optimization in a warehouse or store, “smart” pricing etc.

WHY FORECASTING WITH ML IS BETTER

01
MORE ADVANCED
Modern ML methods can trace down and train themselves on implicit regularities between on a target variable, for example, a demand curve, and various other influencing variables which cannot be identified using traditional methods or by experts.
02
MORE ACCURATE
Traditional forecasting methods normally rely on historical sales, whereas a ML-enabled forecast leverages other pivotal factors impacting the demand: promotional spend, inventory, weather forecast etc.
03
MORE PROFITABLE
Employing ML methods are beneficial to business teams as they help reduce the time, spent on processing and analyzing the data or making a forecast. Eventually it is likely to lead to a significant increase in business efficiency.
