Charlotte, NC – August 6, 2024 ECRS proudly announces the launch of Demand Fill 3.0 (DF3), a groundbreaking third generation forecasting solution within the CATAPULT® Cognition™ platform, set to provide pin-point precise industry leading automated ordering for independent retailers.
DF3 exemplifies ECRS’s commitment to AI innovation, offering an advanced forecasting system that leverages predictive analytics to determine product demand with unmatched precision. By synthesizing data from historical sales, seasonal patterns, promotional influences, lead times, safety stock and current inventory status, DF3 generates automated orders that ensure optimal inventory levels. DF3 also has self-corrective learning, which makes it smarter overtime. This next generation predictive tool snaps into place within the CATAPULT auto reorder framework, empowering retailers to leverage forecasted sale quantities to maintain accurate inventory levels across all stores. By developing DF3 as an API-based forecasting feature, ECRS welcomes retailers to compare results from other predictive models that can be digested by CATAPULT® Cognition™.
“DF3 brings automated ordering into the future. Not only is it understanding previous sale history, but it’s better understanding the why behind that previous sales history. It’s seeing the previous pricing, the previous trends, and putting them together to forecast what’s going to happen in the future…and it’s doing it well! Then it continually learns to keep making the predictions better. “The amount of time to process purchase orders has dramatically decreased. We are excited to expand out to more locations and other distributors to continue to reap these time-saving benefits.” — Bill Reiffer, Harvest Health Foods
