Most of our Traralgon engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI demand forecasting is then designed against the detail, not the shape.
Built and supported here - the way a Traralgon business would actually use it.

Why Traralgon businesses are a fit for this.
- Traralgon and the Latrobe Valley are mid-transition, moving from coal generation into renewables, and the local services sector is retooling with it.
- Power generation, forestry, paper and a growing renewables and transition workforce. Businesses here are re-skilling and re-tendering at the same time, so proposal and compliance work has jumped sharply.

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

FAQ
How long does AI demand forecasting take to ship for Traralgon businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Traralgon 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 Traralgon businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
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.
