Strategic Shifts
Machine learning isolates true incremental promotional sales lift from baseline shopper subsidization to reallocate trade funds.
Ingesting distributor EDI 852 inventory and store-level POS scanner feeds detects stockouts 5 days before replenishment orders drop.
Automated DAM-to-ERP document parsing reviews international label claims, translations, and barcodes in hours instead of months.
Production Solutions
Problem: CPG brands spend 15–20% of revenue on trade promotions without visibility into whether discounts drive real incremental volume.
Solution: Econometric AI models separate organic baseline sales from price-elastic lift to eliminate unprofitable trade promotions.
Measured Outcome
+14.2% trade promotion ROI lift and $2.4M reallocated to high-margin SKUs.
Problem: Weekly ERP forecast cycles miss sudden store-level demand surges, leading to 8–12% retail shelf out-of-stock rates.
Solution: High-frequency demand sensing models combine daily distributor inventory balances with store-level POS velocities.
Measured Outcome
-42% reduction in on-shelf stockouts and 18% lower safety stock holding costs.
Problem: Updating ingredient claims and barcodes across hundreds of international SKUs takes 4–6 months of manual agency reviews.
Solution: Vision-language AI compares master marketing copy against international packaging artwork PDFs in seconds.
Measured Outcome
24-hour packaging changeover release turnaround vs. 4 months previously.
Problem: Unprofitable low-velocity tail SKUs drain working capital in safety stock and cause factory short-run changeover downtime.
Solution: Multi-dimensional profitability clustering models recommend optimal SKU discontinuation or minimum order quantities.
Measured Outcome
-18% reduction in finished goods inventory holding costs.
