FAQ
How does AI demand planning work for retail in Colombia?
Seasonal peaks, promotions, and long supplier lead times cause simultaneous overstock and stockouts. Soberan combines historical demand signals, market trends, and supplier context to generate automatic replenishment plans with Electronic invoice (DIAN) compliance.
How much does it reduce overstock for retail companies?
Dead stock, shrinkage, and slow-moving SKUs erode margins without real-time tracking. Soberan's demand planning reduces overstock by aligning forecast with storage capacity, sales history, and real supplier lead times.
How long does demand planning implementation take?
The demand planning module has a typical 30-day go-live. It works on top of your existing ERP or alongside Soberan ERP.
