Areas of focus

  • Planning & Forecasting

  • Demand Forecasting

    Our AI models deliver accurate demand forecasting at a SKU and customer level by blending historical trends with rich contextual data. This allows for proactive adaptation to changing customer demand, reducing inventory costs and improving customer satisfaction.

    S&OP

    Our solutions facilitate efficient, collaborative planning by integrating rich data sets, identifying and predicting trends, and providing personalized insights to cross-functional stakeholders. This not only improves task coordination, but ensures resources are allocated effectively to cut costs and drive growth.

    Scenario Planning

    Our AI-driven solutions harness vast internal and external data sets, analyzing hundreds of "what-if" situations to help you anticipate and navigate disruptions. By simulating a wide variety of scenarios, your teams can make proactive decisions, minimize risk, and maintain resilience in a dynamic environment.

    Success Stories

  • Procurement

  • PO & Shipment Tracking

    Our AI-powered tracking systems provide intelligent estimated time of arrival (ETA), improving supply chain visibility and allowing for better coordination and planning across procurement, production, and logistics teams.

    Contract Management

    Using AI to analyze contract terms, we assist in streamlining contract management and identifying potential risks. This reduces the administrative burden and helps ensure that contractual obligations are met consistently.
