The Challenge
Purchasing and staffing are reactive and last-minute: stock ties up in slow lines while fast movers stock out, and demand peaks like winter pressure or discharge surges arrive unresourced.
How It Works
- Ingests the business's own sales or service history with seasonality.
- ML forecasts weekly demand and events per SKU or service line.
- Returns a ranked buy-list within supplier minimums, or a forward cover plan.
What It Removes
- Last-minute purchasing
- Stockouts on fast movers
- Reactive staffing of demand peaks
Input Data RequirementsSales history and catalogue (e.g. WooCommerce, 300+ SKUs), supplier minimums and lead times, care-hour history, seasonal demand patterns
