Stockout or overstock risk is nullified by the daily stock monitor, one of the platform key components, which proactively tracks demand on every item, triggers and replans orders accordingly.

Here’s how one of the leading distribution companies introduced AI into their supply chain and managed to avoid stockouts by using AI support.
Stock optimisation is an important KPI in supply chain businesses, as it translates to cash flow directly. On the one hand, constantly high stock levels (overstocking) indicate that money spent on stock is money not spent on potential growth while on the other hand, low stock levels (frequent stock-out events) indicate that money might be getting lost on missed sales.
Basic components in forecasting demand are historical data on market demand (retail sell-out data if possible), external 3rd party data, context, specifics, and various constraints which have significant impact on forecasting, such as promotion periods, price change, outliers, anomalies, availability, bonus schemes, etc. The results of a demand forecast are then used either to estimate the needed raw materials, or other manufacturing items in production companies, or just to define ordering goods for a vendor in trading companies.
There are many steps in a supply chain which can be optimised by using technology. Our solution focuses on helping companies order optimal quantities, which has an impact on multiple points in a supply chain, such as lower inventory stock, lower transportation stock, regular ordering frequencies, and better predictability, avoiding warehouse jams, etc.
Most of our customers experience benefits in a few business categories: financial benefits in terms of freed-up cash flow which can be invested into growth, labour benefits in terms of up to 50% less time spent on repetitive activities, which allows purchase departments to focus on complex purchases like new items placement, etc., as well as operational benefits in terms of lowering overstock levels while, at the same time, avoiding stock-out situations both in a warehouse and retail stores, or in raw materials acquisition.
On top of the benefits previously described, many other users within a company benefit from introducing AI based inventory optimisation. Marketing teams will have better insight into promotional efficiency, warehouse managers will be able to avoid warehouse jams due to predictive ordering periods, and your new employees or interns will gain knowledge organized in one place instead of it being scattered around the organization.
It is a service which estimates a demand for an individual item in your inventory, and generates an optimal order recommendation. It takes into account many constraints, specifics and context of an item, as well as the vendor.
Prior to entering a full project, we offer various piloting options ranging from a tailor-made presentation for your company to a detailed benefit analysis simulated on a digital twin using actual historical data and events. These POC activities also include workshops with key users for the purposes of discussing and validating the order recommendations generated by our algorithm.
As the first step of this journey, we offer analysis of your sales and stock data, and dedicated presentation of the results of our platform, including a tailor-made report for your company. Detailed steps and guidelines are listed here.
Dedicated workshops, called hypercare workshops, are an integral part of our projects where we sit together with end users and go through all the specifics that their vendors or SKU’s might have, and also help them to interpret the proposal coming out of the algorithms, as well as put them in the context of historical data and various constraints.
There are many business rules and constraints, dependant on the industry, that are a standard part of our solution like minimum order quantity or amount, seasonal sales, promotional sales (including various promotion types), cargo and logistics information, substitutes definition, leading items per category (prioritisation), etc.
Our solution can be deployed on-prem or in any private or public cloud environment, as well as API integrated with ERP.
