We've worked with enough operators in Mildura to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI demand forecasting project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.
For Mildura operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.

Where Mildura operators actually lose hours.
- Mildura is irrigated horticulture on the Murray - table grapes, citrus, almonds and wine, run on seasonal labour and tight margins.
- Sunraysia horticulture, dried fruit, wine and the freight moving it east. Seasonal workforce administration and compliance paperwork consume an enormous share of management time every year.

How we build AI demand forecasting for a Mildura team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Mildura business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI sales + stock forecasting.

FAQ
How long does AI demand forecasting take to ship for Mildura businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Mildura businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI demand forecasting into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Prophet sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
