Cost of not finding a solution

The client risks losing significant market share by not adjusting their supply chain, product availability, marketing, and sales to the new and changing demand cycle.

Solution

We developed a predictive model that incorporated environmental factors and future climate scenarios to forecast the emergence patterns of the key target pest. Using Machine Learning Models, we analyzed pest emergence cycles and peaks, identifying shifts in patterns and linking these shifts to new demand patterns for the client's products.

Results

Our insights were instrumental in helping the client save millions in supply chain-related costs, provide products to end-users when needed most, and achieve inventory management efficiency. This led to customer retention and product life cycle extension.
