Sales Forecasting with Machine Learning
Improving sales forecasting and reducing forecast error has become a strategic imperative for businesses irrespective of industry. Sales and demand Forecasting with machine learning provides the best possible system to improve forecast predictions and optimize supply chain planning automatically.
Use up to 10 sophisticated AI/ML algorithms to predict the demand
By applying machine learning algorithms, we can treat very large datasets more effectively and in a fraction of the time.
Propose the best algorithm for each specific part number
Algorithm can learn and self-correct with lightning speed, quickly converging to a best-fit result

Machine Learning based forecast (use case)
It means large volumes of SKUs can be easily managed and processed with very high levels of accuracy through MAPE & Bias self-learning. The improved data means the most appropriate models can be selected and the most beneficial algorithms assigned.
Use case: we applied to B2B & B2C business. Used 2 years historical data to predict the future demand:
Calculation takes into account SKU lifecycle 4 phases & destination sales working days
Performance of prediction had been validated thru comparison of the predicted demand vs real customer orders received.
Datasets can include both internal and external sources of information (e.g. market trends, campaigns, phase in / out)

Supply planning and optimization (S&OP)
Detailed, robust and optimized supply plans based on the latest demand insights, potential bottleneck forecasts and targeted inventory levels. The machine capacity constrained production plans take sales, inventory and operations data into account and produce reliable, efficient and transparent results in the short and long term.

Forecast accuracy metric report
Accurate sales forecasting helps businesses figure out upcoming issues in their manufacturing and supply chains and course-correct before a problem arises. There are a number of formulas that planners can use to calculate forecast accuracy / forecast error, from the fairly simple to the quite complex. Two of the most common are MAPE and Bias.
MAPE
stands for Mean Absolute Percent Error. MAPE can be misinterpreted, so use caution in the interpretation.
Bias
refers to persistent forecast error - Bias is a component of total calculated forecast error - Bias refers to consistent under-forecasting or over-forecasting.
