AI CROSS’s New No-Code Demand Forecasting Service: The Aira-guided Assistant Plan

In a notable move in the tech industry, AI CROSS, based in Minato, Tokyo, has unveiled a revolutionary service aimed at simplifying demand forecasting for businesses. The newly launched Demand Forecasting Assistant Plan leverages their prior service, Deep Predictor, enabling any user to create their own AI demand forecasting model without needing expert knowledge.

Starting from July 22, 2025, users will have access to an intuitive assistant guide named Aira, which navigates them through the forecasting setup process. By simply filling out a specified Excel template with necessary information, users can generate accurate forecasting results effortlessly. The requirements for this setup are minimal, needing only three pieces of information:

1. Index: Product code, store name, or any identifying factor
2. Date: Specific date for which the prediction is being made
3. Actual Figures: Sales numbers, foot traffic data, etc.

The service allows users to select prediction periods ranging from 1 day up to 365 days ahead through an easily navigable web interface. A significant advantage is that weather and calendar data integration, such as holidays or day of the week, is handled automatically, enabling users to consider external factors without extra manual input.

The predictions can encompass a wide range of target metrics, including sales figures, inventory levels, footfall, shipment numbers, revenue, order counts, and consumption rates. This versatility allows businesses across various industries to utilize the service effectively, thus addressing key operational challenges like inventory management, order planning, and minimizing missed opportunities.

The Need for Simplicity in Business Operations

Historically, many AI forecasting tools claimed to be no-code or easy to set up. However, users often found themselves burdened with intricate data organizing tasks or technical decisions around what data to incorporate for quality predictions. The simplicity of operations often came at the cost of complicated data preparation and feature engineering steps that slow down actual usability.

AI CROSS’s new plan directly addresses these barriers by streamlining the process of setting up demand forecasting. The reduced input requirements ensure that users can focus solely on data entry without the complexities typically associated with AI predictive modeling.

Key Features:

• - Minimal Data Preparation: Users need only three elements for setup, significantly lowering the entry barrier for non-tech-savvy personnel.
• - Integrated External Factors: Automatic integration of weather and calendar data ensures high-accuracy forecasts without manual adjustment.
• - Optimized Algorithms: The system itself selects and optimizes the algorithm based on the characteristics of the collected data, removing the need for expert intervention.

This design allows businesses to start their forecasting operations quickly, leading to various benefits:

• - Reduced Inventory Costs: Lowering excess inventory helps cut storage expenses.
• - Mitigated Stockouts: Avoiding lost sales opportunities for flagship products.
• - Streamlined Ordering Processes: Tasks that previously required significant manpower can now be automated, reducing workload.

Particularly beneficial for manufacturing and wholesale industries, the plan promises to bring efficient demand forecasting tools into multiple operational settings where demand prediction is crucial.

Free Trial for Limited Customers

As part of the launch celebration, AI CROSS is offering a free trial of the Demand Forecasting Assistant Plan to the first ten companies that sign up. This presents an excellent opportunity for businesses interested in experiencing the performance and accuracy of the tool firsthand.

Future Goals

The Deep Predictor Demand Forecasting Assistant Plan marks the beginning of a new era where AI is made accessible and user-friendly. With a vision to empower individuals without advanced technical backgrounds, AI CROSS aims to continue evolving Aira’s assistant functionalities to cater to a broader range of business needs and scenarios.

Transitioning AI from being perceived as a complex tool to a partner that businesses can rely on for insights is an ongoing mission for AI CROSS.
