Short-term & Long-term forecasting
Integration of short-term demand sensing and long-term demand forecasting into one seamless demand modeling helps continuous improvement in accuracy and drives the required business needs to support from daily to monthly or annual planning needs..

Automated Demand/Sales forecasting
AI combined with ML models using a library of algorithms generates an ensemble of forecasts at SKU/store level to improve forecast accuracy. This empowers merchandise planners to apply their experience and expertise toward continuous improvement.

Fill Rate optimization
Managing fill rate at stores and stocking points above 95% is critical to not just deliver the best shopping experience to your customers but also to improve sales throughput. RESENSE helps brands to reduce their stock-out situations dramatically.

Manage Days of Holding (DoH)
Days of Holding at SKU level is required not just to optimize the inventory levels but also to enhance the customer experience, especially for fresh, perishable, and expiry date SKUs. This also helps to reduce wastages or dump to a very large extent. RESENSE allows brands to manage DoH at the SKU levels to drive the most efficient inventory cycle.

Highly accurate replenishment automation
Create thousands of indents from stores to warehouses or warehouses to vendors every day using AI/ML driven RESENSE demand forecasting models to calculate usable inventory and stocks in transit. Our replenishment engine rationalizes over 95% fill rate with DoH standards set for every SKU and this can help achieve a reduction in inventory cost from 10-30% by value.

Improved Supply Chain efficiency
Managing DoH levels and desired fill rates also leads to a significant reduction in wastages and overall inventory load across the business. This not only reduces mark-down sales but also improves full-price sales throughput driving to higher efficiency from overall inventory investments and faster rotation of inventory across the business.

Manage new product introductions and ramp-downs
Attribute-based forecasting of a new product helps efficient allocation of these products in the business followed by controlled ramp-down of items to be discontinued leads to minimizing residual stock and facilitating smooth assortment shift.

Price Elasticity

The price elasticity equation is developed based on past demand patterns exhibited across multiple promotions. Our solution also includes external data like competition intensity, business rules to refine the suggested price. This information is useful while determining the optimum price while liquidating excess stock or while designing a new promotion. The what-if analysis helps the business users to evaluate multiple scenarios before fixing the right price or designing the optimum promotion.
