Challenge

Multi-SKU, multi-channel forecast error

Multi-category, multi-channel inventory pressure was high; manual forecasts erred toward overstock or stockouts. Operators needed explainable replenishment advice wired into execution — not a one-off report.

Approach

Signal fusion → dynamic advice → supply-chain connect

Multi-signal inventory forecast

Build an AI forecast combining history, seasonality, and live market signals into a reviewable view.

Dynamic replenishment advice

Turn forecasts into dynamic replenishment advice with owners and exception paths — no black-box auto-ordering.

Supply-chain system connect

Connect to supply-chain systems so advice enters existing replenishment / transfer cadence with human confirmation.

Outcome

More agile inventory and supply response

  • Inventory turns and forecast accuracy improved materially (qualitative; client metrics confidential).
  • Overstock and stockout situations improved together; supply response became more agile.
  • Presented with client authorization and anonymization — no public client name or unauthorized ROI figures.
