StockIQ's AI Philosophy
At StockIQ, we believe AI should empower supply chain professionals. Our platform combines advanced machine learning with human expertise, because the best inventory decisions happen when artificial intelligence amplifies human intelligence.
AI won’t replace your planners, but it will allow them to work better and faster. Instead of spending time on routine tasks and wrestling spreadsheets, they can rely on our automation to do the grunt work, freeing up their time to work on the most important business problems.
We've embedded AI where it matters most: detecting anomalies, improving forecast accuracy, predicting demand for new & sporadic SKUs, and optimizing stock levels. This results in supply chain teams that make faster, smarter decisions without losing the strategic oversight that only humans can provide.
AI+IQ: Applied
While the AI+IQ philosophy is universal, its application looks different by industry. AI+IQ: Applied explores how AI and human expertise come together in specific supply chain environments:
