CHICAGO, IL — November 4, 2025 — Algo, a leading provider of AI-powered demand-planning and forecasting solutions for retailers, manufacturers and CPG vendors, today announced the launch of Demand Forecasting Services (DFS) during the Data & Analytics Summit in Chicago.
DFS transforms forecasting from a technology problem into a solution outcome—giving CPG leaders instant access to Algo’s best-in-class forecasting capabilities without the burden of implementing new software.
With DFS, companies simply provide their data, and Algo delivers a clean, connected, and continuously updated forecast that integrates directly into any existing planning or ERP tool. The result: forecast-ready data in just 90 days, faster time-to-value, and no IT overhead.
“Algo DFS is your on-call forecasting department — without the hiring, training, or software headaches,” said Usman Barket, EVP Strategy and Operations at Algo. “You get a forecast that’s accurate, ready to use and seamlessly integrated into your existing systems.”
By outsourcing forecasting through DFS, clients eliminate implementation risk and accelerate time-to-value while ensuring data accuracy and governance. The service also helps organizations escape manual, Excel-based forecasting processes that consume planners’ time and limit scalability.
“We handle the heavy lifting; you get a forecast you can trust,” added Wayne Sim, Chief Executive Officer at Algo. “Early adopters are already saving up to twenty hours per planner each week and seeing material improvements in forecast accuracy.”
Why DFS Matters
As consumer behavior becomes less predictable and CPG supply chains more volatile, demand forecasting services give planners the ability to respond faster and more intelligently. DFS provides:
- Faster time-to-value: Forecast-ready data in 90 days.
- Zero implementation burden: No new software or integrations required.
- Scalable AI forecasting: Continuous model learning and data enrichment.
- System-agnostic flexibility: Works with any planning or ERP environment.
