How it helps your Whanganui team
What you actually get.
- Combines your sales history with weather, calendar, and event data
- Per-SKU and per-store forecasts, not whole-business averages
- Re-forecasts weekly as new data comes in
- Explains the why behind every number
The version of AI demand forecasting that works for a Whanganui business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
The shape of the result for Whanganui teams: Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. Built on Prophet, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales.
The Whanganui context, plainly.
Tourism, creative industries, and a growing remote-work population. AI tools that scale a small team's reach without enterprise overhead win.

Common questions
Before you book the call.
When does AI demand forecasting actually pay back? +
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Whanganui – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
How do you price AI demand forecasting engagements? +
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Whanganui businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Can you walk us through a comparable build? +
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season.
Will this run on our own infrastructure? +
Yes, where it makes sense. AI demand forecasting can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
