Deep Learning Models that can learn from sales time series of multiple skus as well as from other features in data. The team came up with a number of evaluation metrics , but it is difficult to evaluate the forecasts more descriptively. They employed a Dashboard using dash to compare the model outputs on testset.

results

The team was able to produce forecasting for 8 weeks by using 16 weeks previous sales history. This is 3x better than the Naive Average Method for Outlet channel forecast, and 50% better MAPE than the existing statistical/seasonal sales forecasting software package for sku-store forecasts.
