PPD faced frequent stockouts on best-selling products and overstocking of slow-moving inventory, leading to missed sales opportunities and increased storage costs. Without a structured forecasting system, purchasing decisions were reactive rather than strategic.
The Challenge
Our Solution
Implemented an AI-powered forecasting tool integrated with Shopify and Business Central. The system analyzes historical sales data, seasonal demand trends, and supplier lead times to generate automatic purchase orders. Additionally, it provides real-time restocking recommendations to balance inventory levels efficiently across all fulfillment centers.
