Business impact

The cost of guessing demand

Hold too much and cash freezes in stock that ages into markdowns and waste. Hold too little and you turn buyers away and hand the sale to a competitor. Forecasting narrows that gap, so inventory tracks real demand instead of a hunch.

  • Overstock ties up working capital and ages into markdowns and waste.
  • Stockouts turn buyers away and hand revenue to a competitor.
  • A good forecast keeps inventory close to demand, week after week.

What we do

Feature engineering

Encode seasonality, holidays, promotions, and weekends.

04

Train and validate

Time series, regression, and advanced ML, compared on held-out data.

05
