How Moonnox Leveraged Upsolve AI to Build Customizable Customer-Facing Dashboards and Embed Business Intelligence in its platform for Grocery Demand Forecasting Copy

Guac sets out to solve the grocers’ problem of unpredictable supply and demand such that food waste could be reduced and product availability could be maximized. Guac do so by applying cutting edge AI and machine learning algorithms to accurately forecast the demand at grocery stores, down to the SKU and daily level.

Moonnox’s Challenges and Needs

1. Data Complexity and Scalability: Handling large datasets from multiple stores required significant computational power and a scalable infrastructure.

2. Customization: Standard solutions lacked the flexibility to adapt to Guac’s specific use cases, such as dedicated dashboards that precisely describe a grocery store’s value chain.

3. User Accessibility: Guac needed a solution that was user-friendly for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

The Solution

Guac partnered with Upsolve AI to deploy embedded business intelligence (BI) to each customer. These customizable dashboards with BI are tailored made for each customer because each grocery customer’s needs and systems are unique. Since the dashboard is built purposefully for each customer, it gives grocery chains the highest visibility into the historic and current sales, as well as the demand forecasts generated by Guac. On top of that, these stores could build their own analytics using Upsolve AI’s embedded BI feature to extract targeted insights needed. This offers the highest transparency, which enables the grocery stores to make the best possible operational decisions.
