NTT Data Kansai has released a demand forecasting service, Agriasue, which specializes in direct sales of agricultural products.
“Agriase” is a service that predicts the number of customers at a farmer’s market using its own AI engine and derives the appropriate sales volume and price for each agricultural product. Through this service, agricultural direct sales stores can make decisions on sales volume and prices for affiliated producers simply by “seeing” the screens of their smartphones and personal computers.
NTT Data Kansai aims to introduce 100 stores nationwide in the next three years, targeting farmers’ markets and roadside stations.
