Demand AI is a next-generation demand planning accelerator designed specifically for large consumer packaged goods (CPG) enterprises. It leverages cutting-edge machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks in a scalable cloud-native architecture to analyze extensive datasets, including historical sales, real-time market data, and external factors such as economic indicators, seasonal trends, and promotional activities.

Integrable with the best existing ERP and integrated business planning systems, Demand AI enhances enterprise demand planning by incorporating AI-generated key customer indicators into decision-making processes. It supports a wide range of CPG categories—such as food and beverages, personal care, and household products—offering flexibility across diverse product lines.

Key Features:

• Automated Model Selection and Hyperparameter Tuning: Streamlines the optimization of forecasting models for greater accuracy.
• Anomaly Detection and Outlier Management: Maintains forecast reliability by identifying and adjusting for data anomalies.
• Scenario Analysis and What-If Simulations: Provides insights into potential outcomes for product launches and promotional strategies.
• Explainable AI: Ensures transparency in forecasting methods, fostering trust and clarity.
• Real-Time Updates and Continuous Learning: Adapts to evolving customer preferences and market conditions for up-to-date forecasts.

Demand AI operates through three integral components:

1. AI Planning Data: Generates key customer indicators using large language models (LLMs) to analyze a broad spectrum of internal and external data, enhancing forecast accuracy.
2. AI Planning Model: Utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms such as XGBoost and deep neural networks like RNNs to generate demand forecasts.
3. Natural Language Interface: Features a natural language interface powered by LLMs, offering an intuitive means of interacting with forecasting data.

Demand AI adds value on top of industry-standard CPG system landscapes through its next-generation AI capabilities because its comprehensive approach enables enterprises to optimize inventory, minimize waste, and improve supply chain efficiency. Designed to meet the demands of large-scale global operations, Demand AI supports diverse product portfolios and adapts to the dynamic consumer landscape with precision and scalability.
