We've worked with enough operators in Cyberport 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.
Built and supported here - the way a Cyberport business would actually use it.
Our goal is to give Cyberport businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI demand forecasting actually does
Forecasts that account for school holidays, NZ weather, tourist seasons, and your own promo calendar. Order the right stock, roster the right hours, plan the next quarter with actual numbers.
- 01 Combines your sales history with weather, calendar, and event data
- 02 Per-SKU and per-store forecasts, not whole-business averages
- 03 Re-forecasts weekly as new data comes in
- 04 Explains the why behind every number

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI demand forecasting runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for Cyberport businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI demand forecasting compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
What's different about doing this work in Cyberport.
- Cyberport is Hong Kong's dedicated tech and fintech precinct, purpose-built to house the city's startup and digital economy - AI here is judged by founders and engineers, not procurement committees.
- A government-backed tech park concentrating fintech, AI and digital media startups alongside venture capital and accelerator programs. Businesses here expect AI built with real technical rigor, since many of them build software themselves.

How we build AI demand forecasting for a Cyberport team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Cyberport business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI sales + stock forecasting.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Cyberport businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for Cyberport teams
Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. For Cyberport teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.

FAQ
When does AI demand forecasting actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Cyberport - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
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.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI demand forecasting can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
