Forecasting consumer demand with Predictive AI
The consumer products industry moves at the speed of shoppers—driven by shifting preferences, promotions, and trends that change overnight. Constant volatility across channels, SKUs, and retailers makes it difficult to align production, inventory, and service performance. Many teams still rely on legacy forecasting tools or outdated ML solutions that operate in silos. As a result, demand shifts remain undetected until it’s too late—leading to missed sales, excess stock, and wasted resources.
