Order Prediction Made Smarter with AI

"Thanks to the AI forecasting tool developed with Artificialy, we can now plan with confidence across markets. Having both short- and long-term visibility on order volumes helps us align production, logistics, and inventory strategies more effectively."

Challenge

Forecasting order volumes - across total, domestic, and foreign markets - as a recurring challenge for the client due to market volatility, external dependencies, and uncertain demand trends. Manual planning methods struggled to provide reliable predictions, especially beyond short horizons, often leading to inefficiencies in production and inventory management.

To address this, we created an AI forecasting solution to enhance precision and streamline order prediction across domestic and international markets.

Our AI Solution

We developed an AI forecasting tool trained on both historical order data and macroeconomic time series (e.g. BCI, PMI, OECD indicators). The solution delivered:

  • Accurate six-quarter forecasts for overall, domestic, and international order volumes

  • Market-specific insights to support granular planning across business areas

  • Interpretability features that identify and rank the variables most impacting each forecast

This approach enabled both predictive accuracy and explainability, making the tool actionable for operations and management alike.

Results

The solution translated into clear, data-driven improvements across planning and operations.

  • Reduction of the baseline error rate by 50%

  • Planning efficiency significantly improved, thanks to reliable multi-market forecasts

  • Minimized overproduction and waste, even amid demand fluctuations

  • Consistent model performance across short- and long-term horizons

  • Improved stakeholder confidence in strategic and tactical planning decisions
