Sales Forecasting and Cash Flow Optimization: Retail Case Study

To effectively manage cash flow, you need to anticipate incoming financial flows, particularly sales in physical stores or e-commerce. The strong fluctuation of demand can sometimes destabilize certain traditional forecasting models to the point of making them inaccurate.

The ability of retail companies to accurately predict demand is challenged by the context in which sales take place, such as during the lockdown implemented in the fight against COVID 19. To what extent can retail players rely on traditional statistical tools/methods in a volatile context? What tools do they have at their disposal to anticipate fluctuations in demand linked to the fact that travelers no longer go to the point of sale?

An international retailer approached Verteego to determine the relevance of using machine learning to predict cash flows in its business. The challenge was to predict cash inflows, and more specifically sales and payment patterns, over a 12-month rolling period in the company's 50 points of sale in an airport in Switzerland.

Anticipate sales volume with Verteego's predictive models

Verteego's predictive models are now used in promotional and permanent sales forecasts over the quarter or year. There are several advantages to choosing these AI solutions to support your company's decision-making process.

Reduced risk of stock-outs

Thanks to Verteego's artificial intelligence, it is possible to anticipate purchasing trends and consequently reduce stock-outs. To do this, probability calculations are performed on each model designed with the help of algorithms. You can then estimate their efficiency coefficient and adopt a better sales plan.

This forecasting method allows you to quickly process a large volume of variables. It also provides you with precise answers concerning the viability of the client's business over the next few years.

Control of storage and logistics costs

The storage of products for sale has a cost, and this cost must be taken into consideration in order to optimize the company's turnover.

Verteego's AI ensures a perfect control of the storage costs each year, but also those of the logistics. Indeed, important logistic means are used for the conservation of products. These are used in the calculation of the company's expenses and its viability coefficient. They can be optimized with the training of Verteego's predictive models.

Optimization of the freshness of the products and the end of waste

Ensuring that fresh products are available in each outlet helps to optimize sales volumes over the quarter or year. Customers are more reassured about the quality of the food and products purchased. Also, estimating the rate of sale helps reduce food waste related to not selling items until the expiration date.

Better customer satisfaction

Using artificial intelligence to optimize pricing and sales forecasting ensures a quick turnaround of inventory. On average, consumers are more satisfied when they find the product they are looking for in your store at an optimal price. Also, CRM's choice of the ideal time to launch promotional sales contributes to the satisfaction of each customer.

A relief for forecasting teams

Using Verteego's predictive models to calculate future sales greatly reduces the work your forecasting team will have to do. Your forecasting team will only have to insert the information that the machine needs to solve each equation.

With this forecasting method, your company's human resources can be used for other purposes. For example, the staff can participate in training or brainstorming sessions to increase the company's turnover.

Improve sales forecasting and product availability in stores

Anticipating consumer buying behavior can be done by solving a multivariate equation using Verteego's AI. This method allows to adjust, with a better accuracy, the supply of stocks in the different points of sale and to increase the turnover of a company.

Machine learning for sales forecasting

Machine learning is the foundation of artificial intelligence. Several CRMs and e-commerce giants have used Verteego's AI technology to improve their decision making and sales.

Sales forecasting techniques are now automated within retail companies. This ensures that your sales target is met and your business runs smoothly for the next few years.

Whether it is for promotional sales or permanent sales, it is easier thanks to machine learning to predict the rate of sold out stocks. These probability calculations are also feasible in case of a global crisis such as the COVID-19 epidemic.

The effectiveness of Verteego's predictive methods for the design of a marketing plan is therefore no longer in doubt. Artificial intelligence is indeed able to anticipate purchasing behavior in all circumstances and to help forecasting teams in their calculations.

Better supplied points of sale with Verteego's AI

Defining the amount of inventory allocated to each store can be a daunting task. However, Verteego's predictive models help companies in supplying both physical and virtual stores. This reduces the risk of unsold products and stock-outs.

Artificial intelligence is particularly effective in simultaneously anticipating and optimizing sales figures. To do this, the machine performs a thorough analysis of internal and external data using sophisticated techniques.

Also, consumer browsing information is used to determine which product will be most in demand. Replenishments at the point of sale are then made according to the probability of purchase of the items.
