What changes when it is logistics & supply chain

We always ship a naive baseline alongside the model. If the sophisticated version cannot beat last-week's-number, you deserve to know that before you deploy it.

In logistics & supply chain, your data depends on partners whose systems you do not control. That single fact reshapes how predictive analytics & forecasting has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is shipping document processing, usually integrated against WMS. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Predictive Analytics & Forecasting workloads in logistics & supply chain

  • shipping document processing
  • proof-of-delivery capture
  • exception and delay handling
  • freight invoice audit
  • route and load planning

What is included

  • Data audit before any modelling, with gaps reported
  • Baseline model so improvement is measurable
  • Error bars and confidence intervals on every forecast
  • Feature importance you can explain to the business
  • Backtesting against held-out historical periods
  • Monitoring for drift once live

Questions from this sector

Our partners send data in every format imaginable.

That is the normal starting condition and exactly what document intelligence handles, email, PDF, EDI, scanned paper, all normalised into one structure.

Can it predict delays?

Yes, where there is enough history. The usable output is a reliable exception alert with enough lead time to act, not a precise arrival time.

How much history do you need?

Generally two to three seasonal cycles for demand work, less for churn or risk scoring. The data audit in week one tells us what is realistically achievable with what you have.

How accurate will the forecast be?

We report error against a naive baseline on held-out periods. If the model does not beat the baseline meaningfully, we say so rather than shipping it.

Can the business understand the output?

Yes, feature importance and driver explanations are part of the deliverable. A forecast planners cannot interrogate is a forecast they will override.
