How it Works
SEE demand genius IN ACTION
How does Demand Genius work?
Demand Genius uses machine-learning models to analyze historical data and identify the top-performing models in accuracy, error, and financial impact. Each model competes in multiple rounds until a new “champion” surpasses the current best. By challenging your current models with other models each month, Demand Genius validates assumptions and identifies shifts in demand patterns.
With Demand Genius, you can right-size inventory and optimize production by forecasting at the product level, considering factors like seasonality, product attributes, and industry sales patterns.

Key Benefits of Demand Genius™

Right-size inventory and optimize production
Balance your inventory levels and ensure efficient cash flow allocation while avoiding the pitfalls of overproduction or obsolete stock. Reduce downtime and waste by improving production scheduling for smoother, more predictable operations.
