Forecast for demand forecast and inventory management - Auto parts - Sequor Digital Solutions

The project aims to integrate demand forecast with purchasing processes, supplier portal and material receipt, using predictive models and automation to anticipate needs, plan purchases and organize receiving flows according to the actual capacity of the operation. The solution also connects communication with suppliers, logistics and operational historical portals, creating a system that generates more fluidity, reduces bottlenecks and avoids excess or missing materials in stock.

Forecast for demand forecast and inventory management

Challenge

The main challenge was to consolidate different data sources - sales historicals, purchase orders, supplier information, logistics status, scheduling and physical infrastructure - in a single analytical architecture capable of accurately predicting demands. It was necessary to transform gross data into called information, ensure the quality and actuality of this data and generate insights that could be applied directly to operational decisions, such as order adjustments, reorganization of receipts and prevention of accumulation in stock.


Idea

The central idea was to build an AI -based platform, fed by predictive models that connect data from the entire logistics chain and turn them into practical recommendations to reduce risk, improve planning and optimize resources. This included integrating structured and semi -structured sources, ensuring data enrichment, applying validation processes and delivering results to dashboards that support operational and strategic areas. The system was also designed to identify failures, anticipate maintenance needs and improve the alignment between production, purchases and receipt.
