Dixie to implement Rubbles Planning Force platform to forecast demand and optimize inventory

2024: Rubbles Planning Force roll-out begins

"" Dixy has embarked on a project aimed at transforming the inventory management process. The transformation will be realized through the implementation of the platform Rubbles Planning Force from the company. Rubbles This was announced Dixy by "" on December 19, 2024.

The solution will be implemented using machine learning and artificial intelligence demand prediction algorithms to significantly improve planning accuracy. To apply the results of forecasting in practice and obtain significant business effects, a multi-cell inventory optimization approach will be used - an algorithm that covers all stages of commodity movement and allows you to balance stocks within the supply chain to ensure the target availability of goods without creating excess runoff.

In the process of selecting the system for implementation, A/B testing was carried out, which confirmed the effectiveness of the application of machine learning to predict demand. The resulting increase in accuracy gave a statistically significant effect on related metrics: turnover, availability of goods, etc. As part of the A/B test, the possibility of reducing the inventory by 4% while maintaining the level of commodity availability was shown. These and other parameters are planned to be significantly improved as part of the implementation.

The implementation of the solution will take place in stages. In the first half of 2025, Dixy plans to launch a MVP1 that will automate planning processes. The launch of the inventory optimization and order formation module will begin in the second quarter of 2025. It is planned to complete the process of implementing and scaling the complex of solutions in the third quarter of 2026.
