A poorly maintained inventory is every retailer’s worst nightmare. Not only does it lead to a loss in sales over time, but also represents a poor indicator of inadequate demand for a product. But how does a buyer predict the demand chain when they can no longer rely on the old normal of historical buying patterns ?

Flashana is solving this problem. We are creating a cloud-based, easy-to-use, solution for small and medium enterprises, who now need to adapt very quickly to reduced customers visiting their retail locations, and instead a large number of customers ordering their products online and in quantities never seen before. Our technology is a demand forecasting solution that will ingest sales and distribution data, and provide an easy to use reporting solution, for our first target market, the alcohol beverage industry, with size $3.6B in BC and $31.6B in Canada. Using our proprietary machine learning algorithms, we give retailers the prescription they need to unlock their data, and predict their demand.
