Retail specific Machine Learning produces significantly more accurate Store/SKU/Day level forecasts (reducing excess inventory, reducing stock-outs) and touchless forecasting
About
Using Retail specific ML, the Rubikloud solution generates significantly more accurate Store/SKU/Day level forecasts (reducing excess inventory while at the same time also reducing stock-outs). Additionally, Rubikloud’s ML allows for forecast automation (using confidence indicators) reduces merchandiser/buyer planning effort by 50%+ (some Rubikloud clients now automate 90% of their entire SKU forecast – meaning merchandiser/buyer only adjust 10% of SKU forecasts, the rest goes straight into replenishment without human interaction). Rubikooud also uses ML to address brand NEW SKU's using advanced methods (Ontology, etc.) to forecast for new SKU's.
