Every organization has components, commodities, and even finished products on stock. With these, they ride waves of high demand or supplier constraints. Inventories such as these constitute a huge management task, with ambiguous variables and high stakes. In fact, the effort needed to succeed in managing inventory is often so high, so specialized, that many larger companies seek external help.

AI and ML are the two pillars of the digital revolution, enabling an immense productivity gain, that the corporate world is on the cusp of. Although interchangeably used, it’s important to differentiate: in a nutshell, AI or Artificial Intelligence is the concept of machines to carry out tasks smartly, whereas ML or Machine Learning refers to an application of AI to analyze data, to discover, to recommend, to forecast and to learn from large data sets.
