The version of AI demand forecasting that works for a Orange business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates - usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.
Built and supported here - the way a Orange business would actually use it.

Where Orange operators actually lose hours.
- Orange runs on agriculture, cool-climate wine, gold mining at Cadia and a regional health sector, which is an unusually diverse mix for a city its size.
- Cadia gold mine, a strong horticulture and wine sector, and a base hospital that serves the Central West. The services businesses here juggle mining clients on procurement terms and farm clients on a season, and both need different handling.
We work with teams across Orange: Orange CBD · Glenroi · Bletchington · Calare · Millthorpe.

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

FAQ
How long does AI demand forecasting take to ship for Orange businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Orange 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.
How do you price AI demand forecasting engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Orange businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Has this actually shipped for a real Orange?
Yes. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
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.
