Example: Foodforecast and intelligent resource management

An up-and-coming start-up called Foodforecast has developed an AI-based software solution that enables demand and sales forecasts for the food service and food sector.

This has several advantages: Products are fresher, staff can be optimally planned and prepared, and more accurate sales forecasts enable more effective financial planning, freeing up financial reserves. In addition, the intelligent visualization of Foodforecast's results provides a better overview.

With the help of artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, Foodforecast enables efficient use of resources in the food service industry. The company actively contributes to the reduction of food waste and helps businesses to optimize their processes and work in an economically sustainable manner.
