Data forecasting plays a crucial role in the cosmetics industry to predict future needs, demands, and market trends. In this highly dynamic industry, data forecasting becomes a valuable tool for strategic and operational decision-making. Through accurate data forecasting, the cosmetics industry can improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, optimize inventory levels, and enhance customer satisfaction.
Data forecasting has emerged as a pivotal aspect of business strategy in today’s rapidly evolving landscape. Companies worldwide, including those in Singapore, are increasingly recognizing the significance of data-driven insights in making informed decisions. Singapore commonly uses data forecasting in some areas, such as retail and e-commerce, healthcare, supply chain management etc. Data forecasting is expected to play an even more significant role in shaping Singapore’s future as a data-driven and innovative nation.
ERASYS Consulting had the opportunity to collaborate with one of the biggest cosmetic manufacturers in Indonesia, creating a paperless and touchless system to collect, process, and analyze sales data for forecasting product movements. With this objective in mind, ERASYS Consulting developed a forecast demand-based application using the AWS stack for faster and more effective deployment.
The application utilizes an ETL module to collect data from various sources necessary for data forecasting. This enables the application to extract relevant data, perform transformations to clean and prepare it, and load the data into suitable formats for analysis and prediction. Subsequently, machine learning integration allows the processing of historical data that has been prepared through the ETL module, analyzing patterns, trends, and relationships within it. This information can be used to make more accurate predictions about the future.
The visualizer module in the application allows users to visualize the results of the prediction and data forecasting analysis in an intuitive and appealing manner, using charts, diagrams, or interactive dashboards. This enables users to easily see and understand patterns and trends detected by machine learning. Meanwhile, the distribution module ensures that the processed and visualized data forecasting results can be efficiently distributed to relevant parties, teams, or departments. Additionally, it facilitates collaboration and decision-making supported by accurate data analysis.
Overall, the combination of these modules in the data forecasting application can streamline the process, improve prediction accuracy, and facilitate data-driven decision-making in the context of business and strategic planning.
