TrueCommerce Unveils ReplenishAI™: an Industry-First, AI-Enhanced, Demand Planning and Replenishment Solution for Vendor Managed Inventory
Early results demonstrate a significant improvement in seasonal and event demand forecasting accuracy
TrueCommerce, a global provider of supply chain and trading partner connectivity, integration and omnichannel solutions, announced the launch of ReplenishAI. This industry-first, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered solution leverages AI algorithms to analyze historical sales and generate demand pattern clusters, equipping businesses with clearer insights into optimal replenishment strategies with unprecedented accuracy.
Identifying products that follow promotional or seasonal sales patterns is a very manual and time-consuming process—sometimes taking weeks or months. ReplenishAI dramatically shortens this timeline to hours, efficiently reviewing tens of thousands of items, identifying key demand trends, and predicting when inventory spikes will occur. The AI-driven data is seamlessly integrated into TrueCommerce’s VMI solution, delivering superior demand planning and replenishment optimization. For added confidence, the models are validated against historical data to ensure accuracy and reliability.
