Solution Description

Developing and implementing high-quality Machine Learning (ML) solutions is undoubtedly a challenge, but thanks to our deep expertise in machine learning and advanced technology tools, we are able to deliver innovative and effective solutions that contribute to the achievement of business objectives. ML-based systems present a number of challenges that differ from those we are familiar with from traditional software engineering. The distinguishing factors of ML-based systems are the high dependence on the quantity and quality of training data, the iterative nature of the work based on experiments, and the process of learning dependence rules as opposed to defining them manually.

When carrying out an ML project, we focus first and foremost on understanding the problem and identifying the project’s business objectives. We believe that a correctly defined objective and mutual understanding is the key to a well-run project. The workflow is most often based on our proven methodology: CRISP-DM (Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining), which places great emphasis on the iterative nature of the work carried out and above all on the above-mentioned understanding of the data and the problem.

Case study

About the project

One of the more interesting implementations of our team in the ML area was a project for a leader in the retail industry in the CEE region. The Client set out to create a system that would allow it to manage its product range more effectively, adapting it to changing customer preferences and local market conditions, which has a direct impact on the quality of the services offered.

Business need

Faced with changing market trends, fluctuating demand and product diversity, the Client had an urgent need to develop a system that would enable data analysis, forecasting and the generation of recommendations to optimise product range, manage inventory and increase operational efficiency. Accurate demand forecasting will allow optimum inventory management, while minimising the risk of product shortages or excesses. An important requirement for the resulting system, due to the dynamic growth of the company, was to prepare a fully scalable tool, ready to handle thousands of newly created shops.

Solution

To meet the above-mentioned needs, a system called Autoreplenishment was developed. After an exhaustive business analysis, it was decided to build a forecasting model and a separate recommendation system fed with both forecasts and the necessary data affecting the procurement process. In creating the forecasting model, the latest architectures and machine learning models were used, which take into account a number of factors, including: stock levels, weather conditions, promotions, shop space, product expiry dates, the impact of special events and holidays, or the type and sort of packaging. In the recommendation component a mathematical model and linear programming with constraints were selected. The entire system was implemented on an environment that allows the system to be scaled to any size.

Benefits of system implementation

  • Optimisation of product range and inventory management, leading to a reduction in financial losses due to excess or shortage of products.
  • Increase in sales through personalised shop recommendations.
  • Improving the Client experience through the availability of preferred products at the right time and place.
  • Increasing operational efficiency and competitiveness in the retail market.
