DISTRIBUTION + FORECASTING · PHILIPPINES
Custom demand forecasting and distribution AI for Philippine business.
Built on your SKUs, your routes, your supplier lead times — not on Relex or Blue Yonder's generic models trained somewhere else.
Relex and Blue Yonder will quote your distribution business in the tens of millions for forecasting accuracy that does not understand Philippine weather, Philippine holidays, or your specific supplier network.

AI insight · Four key accounts sit below a 96% fill target, driven by two fast-moving SKUs out of stock at the Cebu hub. Lifting those two to target recovers most of the gap.

What this costs you today
Incumbent pricing is built for global FMCG
Relex and Blue Yonder price for Unilever, not for a Visayas regional distributor. You pay the global rate for a fraction of the need.
Visayas and Mindanao logistics break the model
Inter-island freight, ferry schedules, and the sari-sari channel are edge cases the global engines were never trained on.
SKU-level volatility nobody else models
Typhoons, fiestas, and holiday spikes swing demand violently. Generic forecasting smooths exactly the signal you need.

A CASE WE CAN POINT TO
₱2.5M live in three weeks across 43,000 SKUs — Acumatica-integrated demand planning that replaced Relex (₱25M+) and Blue Yonder (₱15M+) proposals for comparable scope.
We kept their warehouse stack and replaced only the forecasting layer. The model treats typhoons and fiestas as features, not outliers to smooth away.— Senior AI & Systems Architect
We replace. We build. We optimize.
Every line of code we write is yours at cutover. No license. No annual increase. No lock-in.
HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
Your operations team talks to us directly in their language. No translator. No 2-day email chain.
Your account manager sits in Cebu and joins your standups — English, Cebuano, or Tagalog. Senior architecture, AI-assisted build, human review. Custom-built for your business, not shrink-wrapped.
Questions buyers ask.
Yes. The sari-sari channel is modeled explicitly, not smoothed away as noise like global engines do.
Fragmented, high-frequency, low-value orders are first-class in the forecast. That is most of the volume a PH distributor actually moves.
We treat known PH demand shocks — typhoons, fiestas, holidays — as features in the model, not outliers to ignore.
Calendar and weather signals are built in so the forecast bends with the season instead of being blindsided by it.
Yes. We integrate with your existing WMS and ERP, or replace the forecasting layer over them — your choice.
The Cebu Distribution Platform kept its warehouse stack and we replaced only the Relex/Blue Yonder demand-planning layer on top.
New SKUs onboard the same day; the model warm-starts from the closest comparable rather than waiting for history.
No cold-start penalty that leaves a new product unforecastable for a quarter — a common failure mode in shrink-wrapped tools.
Both, your choice. The Cebu Distribution Platform kept Acumatica; we replaced the Relex/Blue Yonder layer on top of it.
If you want out of Acumatica entirely, a typical mid-market migration is 4–6 weeks. We tell you which path fits on the first call.
