Trends Transforming the Market



Today’s beauty market and trends are more unpredictable than ever before: the significance of social influence can outweigh product formulation; long tail SKUs may barely sell, impacting revenue and profit; and there is a growing shift to support and fulfill products direct to consumer. These trends are impacting your business, and require a transformation in your supply chain and S&OP process.

The root of your planning process is demand forecasting, but accurately predicting demand is an ongoing challenge that is further complicated by the current trends and shift in the market. With disconnected legacy systems that weren’t built to leverage newer technologies, will your business be able to adapt to these new trends?

New SKU Demand Prediction

Harness the power of ML to more accurately predict the demand of new SKUs

ML-ENABLED FORESIGHT

New Product Introduction accounts for a significant portion of your business, with successful launches highly dependent on collaboration with demand planning and S&OP functions. Predicting demand and performance of new products can be contentious, with poor forecasts impacting your bottom line. Rubikloud’s ML models use product embedding, through Natural Language Processing, to better categorize new items across a greater depth of attributes and dimensions. This improved categorization results in forecasts that are validated by data and accurately align to consumer demand.
