The problem overview

The client faced the challenge of forecasting sales for multiple SKUs across different regions. This task was complicated by the need to consider various factors like seasonality, holidays, sporting events, and temperature fluctuations. The client sought a solution that could not only generate accurate forecasts but also manage the complexity of running multiple models in parallel.

Our solution

To address this challenge, we implemented a robust forecasting model powered by Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architecture. The model incorporated critical variables such as seasonality, holidays, significant sporting events, and temperature, which are crucial for predicting demand in the beverage industry. Additionally, we employed MLOps systems to manage the complexity of running hundreds of models simultaneously for different SKUs and regions.
