Budget: 249999 UAH Deadline: 1 day
Good day! Thank you for the inquiry — the task of building a forecasting and sales optimization model for retail sounds very specific. I have practical experience in developing and implementing ML/AI solutions and working with large datasets (ETL, feature engineering, production deployment, quality monitoring).
What I propose at the start:
a short data audit (sources, quality, gaps, seasonality, promo/price changes);
selection of the approach (classical: SARIMAX/Prophet/GBM; or DL/AutoML depending on the volume and frequency of data);
designing metrics (MAPE/SMAPE, uplift from optimizing assortment/discounts/inventory);
MVP with A/B validation and further implementation (API/dashboard).
If necessary, we will sign an NDA. To avoid overloading the chat and quickly agree on data, KPIs, timelines, and budget, I suggest moving to personal messages — please briefly send: how many stores/SKUs, forecast horizon, whether there is a history of promotions and stock levels. From there, I will quickly gather the brief and propose a work plan with deadlines.
