Description

Demand Forecasting uses AI to estimate future customer demand, enabling inventory and supply chain decisions to be made ahead of demand shifts, by learning from historical sales, market trends, and seasonality patterns, across supply chain planning systems.

Business Problem

Inaccurate demand forecasts cause stock-outs, excess inventory, and supply disruptions.

Solution

The AI analyses historical demand patterns alongside market and seasonal variables to generate a demand forecast by SKU and time period, which is consumed by inventory and supply chain planning processes.

Expected Value

Reduction in forecast error and lower inventory holding cost.

Prerequisites
  • Sufficient historical sales data is available at the SKU and location level (minimum 12 to 24 months recommended)
  • Market trend and seasonality signals are accessible and can be joined to the sales data
