What Sets MAIA's Forecasting Apart

Two core capabilities that separate MAIA from every other demand planning tool on the market.

Multi-Variable Signal Processing

Unlike single-variable forecasting tools, MAIA simultaneously processes dozens of signals — from 3 years of sales history to live supplier lead times and public holiday calendars — weighting each signal dynamically per SKU. The result is a forecast that reflects the full complexity of real-world demand, not just a smoothed average of the past.

Continuous Self-Correction

Every day, actuals are compared against the forecast. MAIA automatically recalibrates its models, improving accuracy over time without any manual intervention from your team. Unlike static forecasting tools that degrade after go-live, MAIA gets measurably sharper with every passing month of operation.

From Data to Decision in Seconds

MAIA's four-stage pipeline turns raw business data into precise replenishment actions without any analyst bottleneck.

1

Data Ingestion

Historical sales, open orders, promotions, and external signals are continuously ingested and normalised into a unified data model.

2

Model Processing

MAIA's forecasting engine runs ensemble models across all active SKUs, dynamically weighting each input signal by its predictive relevance.

3

Forecast Generation

A rolling forecast with confidence intervals is produced for each SKU at daily, weekly, and monthly granularity — updated every 24 hours.

4

Actionable Outputs

Replenishment recommendations, safety stock levels, and purchase order suggestions are pushed directly to your buyers and ERP system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about MAIA's demand forecasting capability before you get started.

MAIA achieves 94% forecast accuracy at a 30-day horizon across tested deployments. Accuracy varies by product category and data quality, but consistently outperforms statistical methods by 10-20 percentage points. Categories with stable demand patterns and three or more years of history typically see the highest accuracy scores.
MAIA can generate initial forecasts with as little as 6 months of sales history. Performance improves with more data, and for new SKUs, analogous product benchmarking fills the gap. A full 24-36 months of history is recommended for categories with strong seasonality to capture the complete cycle.
Yes. Your promotional calendar, trade events, and public holidays are fed directly into the model. MAIA calculates the expected demand uplift and pre-positions stock accordingly. Historical promotional response curves are also retained so the system improves its uplift estimates with each new campaign.
Slow-moving SKUs are detected automatically and managed with conservative forecasts and safety stock thresholds. New SKUs are seeded with forecasts based on analogous products with similar demand profiles — MAIA identifies the closest comparable SKUs by category, price band, and sales velocity to bootstrap the initial forecast curve.
Yes. MAIA outputs forecasts and replenishment recommendations directly to SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, NetSuite, and other systems via API or certified connector. Our integration team handles the technical setup, and most customers are live within 4-6 weeks of contract signing.
