With ML computing power

200 shops x 200 products x 3 weather variables x 7 days of the week x 4 seasons = 3.360.000 potential relationships taken into account. With only three parameters. We calculate much more.

How it works?

Machine learning learns from your historical data and other influencing parameters: internal factors such as promotions, and external trends such as local weather and public holidays.

✓ Takes more parameters into account

✓ Finds hidden patterns in the data

✓ Learns automatically and picks up new trends a lot faster (than statistics for example)

Sharp insights

Machine learning makes a more accurate forecast than other technologies. That’s where the added value is: with highly-perishable goods, the accuracy makes all the difference.

All processes based on it, are optimised too. From ordering to planning of promotions and personnel. Resulting in less food waste, better availability of products, fresher quality and happy customers.

Empower your people

Your planners need to look into the future several times a week. Very difficult task, in a competitive environment, with a lot of impact on the business.

We help your teams make better decisions, free up time and lighten the workload. Learning to trust the technology, essential to the use, is part of our process.

Is this for you?

You need historical sales data of three years. If you can check that box, machine learning sales forecasting is a possibility for you. Getting fresh-food forecasting right is more important than ever so why not check it out? We can work in different steps:

Historical test

We feed the algorithm 80% of your data and “forecast” the remaining 20%. Since the actual sales already happened, you have the perfect experiment to check if this works for you.

Let it run in parallel

If immediate implementation is too fast, you can let your and our forecast run in parallel. That way, you can compare and your staff learns to trust the technology.

Implementation

Ready, set? Then we plug-in our turbo forecast into your current systems so you can keep your current dashboards. In need of new dashboards or is a simple overview already enough? Let’s discuss!
