invent.ai's AI-powered Demand Forecasting Solution empowers Fozzy Group’s objectives to optimize their inventory management and drive profitability by achieving higher forecasting accuracy.
September 28, 2021, Philadelphia - One of the leading Ukrainian grocery retailers Fozzy Group has announced today its partnership with invent.ai to improve its forecast accuracy. Fozzy Group undertook an extensive review of 11 solution providers for this project and selected invent.ai as it was the company that has provided the highest forecast accuracy during the POC period. invent.ai's AI-powered Demand Forecasting Solution will enable Fozzy Group to increase availability and decrease days of supply by creating forecast even at the lowest level of detail (Store-SKU-Day, Category–Channel-Week and so on).
Fozzy Group will be implementing invent.ai's Demand Forecasting Solution - a fully automated, AI-powered demand forecasting system allowing retailers to have probabilistic forecast that takes into account all types of omni-channel transactions and effect on demand. Through this solution, Fozzy Group will have the ability to improve its forecast accuracy for its 42500 SKUs and feed its inventory decision systems.
Already a strong player in the retail space with over $3 billion annual revenue and 1100 stores, Fozzy Group expects the partnership with invent.ai to increase promotional item forecast accuracy and determine cannibalization and halo effects in substituting items, as well. invent.ai's technology will help Fozzy Group to improve new SKU and new store opening forecasting and empower the retail giant to improve inventory levels with decreased stock outs and spoilage.
“Embracing AI-powered demand forecasting is no longer a 'nice-to-have' future-focused project; it is a 'must-have' capability for all retailers competing in the ever-changing retail landscape. Retailers can use AI to improve their forecasting and reduce inventory carry costs and lost sales more effectively." said Maksym Tipukhov, Demand Forecasting Director at Fozzy Group,
Ozgur Karabulut, VP of Solutions, invent.ai adds:
“The importance of instant innovation power in the retail industry cannot be overstated. The ever-increasing number of SKUs, price pressures, demanding customers, and a multitude of order fulfilment options make demand-planning more complex than ever before. invent.ai's lives and breathes retail through its specialized expertise in AI and advanced analytics to solve these challenges. And, we’re thrilled to support Fozzy Group’s ambition to leverage AI and increase its capabilities in demand forecasting to thrive in the new world of retail.”
