AI-Powered Forecasting & Planning in Retail

Greater Efficiency, Lower Risk

KEBA Digital helps retailers accurately predict demand, stabilize supply chains, and optimally plan workforce deployment – powered by artificial intelligence that listens to your data. By turning forecasts into actionable strategies, we enable retailers to reduce waste, prevent stockouts, and boost profitability.

The Challenge:
Complexity and Uncertainty in Retail

Volatile supply chains, seasonal fluctuations, and changing consumer behavior make planning in retail increasingly difficult.
Lack of transparency regarding future demand leads to overstocking, out-of-stock situations, and missed revenue opportunities.

Rigid shift schedules also create inefficiencies in workforce planning: overstaffing during slow periods and understaffing during peak times – negatively impacting costs, service quality, and customer satisfaction.

The Solution:
AI-Powered Forecasting & Planning Models

KEBA Digital delivers modular, intelligent solutions that combine historical data, external factors, and real-time information.

Our AI models identify patterns, forecast demand, and optimize operational decisions – from merchandise planning to workforce deployment.

Demand Forecasting – Precise Sales Forecasts at All Levels

Based on historical sales data, weather, events, and seasonal patterns, our machine-learning and time-series models (e.g. LSTM, gradient boosting) generate highly accurate sales forecasts at product, store, or regional level.

Benefits:

  • Optimized product availability and replenishment
  • Reduction of overstocking and stock-outs
  • Greater revenue stability, even during seasonal peaks

Supply Chain Forecasting – Building Resilient Supply Chains

By analyzing delivery, inventory, and returns data, our AI detects potential bottlenecks and risks at an early stage.
Graph-based network analyses identify critical points in the supply chain and enable proactive control.

Benefits:

  • Early risk detection in the supply chain
  • More efficient inventory and returns management
  • Improved delivery reliability and planning certainty

AI-Powered Assortment Planning / Category Management

Using clustering algorithms and regression models, KEBA Digital analyzes sales data, product life cycles, and demand patterns.
This enables data-driven recommendations for assortment decisions and shelf placement.

Benefits:

  • Improved assortment structure through data-driven decisions
  • Higher space productivity and revenue per item
  • Faster response to trends and seasonal products

AI-Powered Workforce Planning – Efficiency Meets Customer Experience

Our AI models forecast customer footfall per location based on historical visit data, weather information, events, and seasonal effects.
This makes shift planning dynamic and demand-driven.

Benefits:

  • Improved service quality and reduced waiting times
  • Optimized workforce deployment
  • More satisfied employees and lower costs
