The Need
Automating the store ordering processes by providing the stores with algorithm-based order proposals to increase process efficiencies and reduce overstocks, out of stock and wastage.
The Challenge
The solution was supposed to be built and continuously developed as a functional prototype. This meant it needed to be able to interact directly with the core systems and business logic of Coop.
Our solution
