In this session, learn how the company used Snowflake as a central data lake and ML platform, with bidirectional integration to SAP IBP, to modernize demand forecasting at scale. We cover migrating ARIMA/SARIMA models to Snowflake, achieving greater transparency and automated hyperparameter tuning across more than 500,000 product-location pairs, resolving a six-year data integration challenge and improving forecast accuracy, speed and cost efficiency in a low-margin business. |
