Challenges

Before Mate Labs’s solution was implemented, their corporate client used an established legacy tool for demand forecasting that lacked at-scale, advanced analysis capabilities, and failed to measure the impact of promotion and other dynamic features. This also meant a huge wastage of resource time and effort in finalizing demand planning.
