You will get Multi-Location Inventory Optimization with AI Demand Forecasting for Retail
Project details
Reduce inventory costs by 40%+ while maintaining service levels with AI-powered optimization that balances stock levels across locations.
I build XGBoost inventory models that achieve 10% MAPE accuracy, helping retail chains eliminate $46M+ in daily excess inventory while preventing stockouts.
WHAT YOU GET:
• Advanced XGBoost demand forecasting (36% better than standard models)
• Reorder point and safety stock calculations by store/SKU
• Multi-location transfer recommendations (2,047% ROI)
• Interactive dashboard for real-time inventory decisions
• Overstocked/understocked identification (81.9% overstock typical)
• Business impact analysis ($16.9B annual savings potential)
WHY MY APPROACH BEATS TRADITIONAL EOQ FORMULAS:
I combine ML forecasting with optimization algorithms—not just static formulas. My improved model reduced RMSE by 36% vs earlier versions, translating to millions in cost savings.
PROVEN RESULTS:
My Rossmann optimization identified 16.5M excess units across 364 stores. Multi-location transfers generated $39.2M net benefit with 2,047% ROI.
PERFECT FOR:
Retail chains, e-commerce with warehouses, distributors, franchises managing multi-location stock.

About Chibuike
Data Scientist | E-commerce Analytics, Predictive Models | ROI Driven
Festac Town, Nigeria - 5:11 pm local time
I'm a certified data scientist and machine learning engineer who transforms business data into measurable outcomes. With 3+ years of hands-on experience and dual DataCamp certifications (Associate & Professional), I specialize in building AI-powered solutions that drive revenue growth, reduce costs, and optimize operations—particularly for e-commerce and retail businesses.
# What I Do
I don't just build models—I solve business problems. My approach starts with understanding your challenges, then delivering production-ready solutions that your team can use immediately:
Predictive Analytics & Forecasting
- Sales forecasting with 85-90% accuracy (MAPE 10-15%)
- Demand prediction for inventory optimization
- Customer churn prediction (70-80% recall rates)
- Revenue forecasting for strategic planning
Machine Learning Solutions
- Recommendation systems (collaborative filtering, hybrid models)
- Customer segmentation using RFM analysis and clustering
- Predictive maintenance models (95%+ accuracy)
- Pricing optimization algorithms
Business Intelligence & Analytics
- Interactive dashboards with Streamlit and Plotly
- Market basket analysis for cross-sell opportunities
- Customer lifetime value (CLV) modeling
- ROI calculators and business impact simulators
E-commerce Optimization
- Inventory optimization (reduce stockouts and overstock)
- Dynamic pricing strategies
- Product recommendation engines
- Conversion rate optimization through data insights
# My Process
1. Discovery (Free Consultation)
I start by understanding your business goals, data availability, and success metrics. No generic solutions—every project is tailored to your specific needs.
2. Transparent Planning
You'll get a clear project timeline, deliverables list, and milestone breakdown. I communicate what's realistic and set proper expectations from day one.
3. Iterative Development
I deliver in stages with regular check-ins. You see progress weekly (or daily for urgent projects), and we adjust based on your feedback.
4. Complete Handoff
You receive clean, documented code, trained models, interactive dashboards, and step-by-step usage guides. Plus 2 weeks of support for questions.
# Why Work With Me
