Project Overview:
A large retail company sought to optimize its inventory management system to reduce stockouts and excess inventory across multiple locations.
Challenges:
- The company struggled with maintaining appropriate stock levels in different regions, leading to missed sales opportunities and excess inventory costs.
- They needed a system that could predict demand more accurately, factoring in real-time sales data, seasonal trends, and external influences like weather or market conditions.
Solution:
Quanois designed and implemented a real-time data analytics platform that integrated sales, inventory data, and external factors to optimize inventory levels and improve demand forecasting.
-
Data Engineering:
We developed a data integration system that collected data from point-of-sale systems, weather APIs, and social media sentiment to predict customer demand.
-
Machine Learning:
We applied predictive modeling techniques to forecast product demand and prevent stockouts, allowing the company to keep inventory levels balanced.
-
Results:
- Reduced stockouts by 20% and excess inventory by 25%.
- Increased sales by 15% through better inventory availability.
- Improved supply chain efficiency, saving 10% in operational costs.
