Predictive Planning
for Fresh Food
Production
Peraison partnered with a premium US poultry producer to turn volatile demand and near-zero inventory tolerance into confident, data-led planning. Fresh poultry has a short shelf life, wastage can quickly destroy margin, and supply is fixed in the short term while demand fluctuates sharply with weather, promotions, seasonal events, and consumer behaviour.
The business needed forecasting precision that could handle extreme peaks and troughs, such as New Year health trends, sports-driven demand for wings, and holiday periods where whole chicken demand drops. Peraison delivered a combined approach of live analytics and machine-learning assisted forecasting that unified ERP, CRM, production, and planning data into a single, real-time view of the business.
Managers could move from brand and geography down to individual SKU and customer demand patterns, while advanced forecasting models improved planning at the level most producers avoid. Beyond demand, additional models improved supply visibility by predicting growth and final weight, and reduced operational risk by supporting predictive maintenance for critical equipment, helping protect continuity of supply.
Better forecasting precision in a business where inventory is not a safety net
Improved demand forecasting at SKU and customer level reduced the risk of overproduction and waste while protecting availability through volatile seasonal patterns.
Stronger planning confidence & customer reliability through earlier visibility
With clearer demand and supply insight, teams could plan proactively, manage expectations earlier, and support customers with more consistent fulfilment during peak and trough periods.
Reduced operational disruption & protected throughput through predictive maintenance
Early warning signals on critical equipment reduced unplanned downtime risk, supporting continuity of supply and protecting the reliability the brand is known for.
Modern Solutions for a changing
Supply Chain landscape
