Forecast of new logistics centers in minutes

Based on the forecast volume of shipments, timely decisions must be made as to when and where new logistics centers need to be built.

Challenges

  • A calculation of the forecast took up to 3 weeks
  • Potential of data volumes could not be met
  • Forecast reliability was only possible for short periods of time

Result & customer benefit

  • Processing of 7 times the amount of data results in a forecast with significantly higher quality
  • Calculation time reduced from 3 weeks to 15 minutes with the new forecast model
  • Machine learning was used to create a self-optimizing forecast model that enables the integration of additional data sources
