We’ve been using Lokad daily for over 2 years to calculate our sales prices. It’s a tailored solution, especially given that our combined catalogs take in to account the 20 countries where we operate. It has really helped us to take our ability to generate value via our pricing to a whole new level. As well as being very powerful, Lokad’s solution gives us speed and reactivity, two elements that have become essential for any e- commerce.
Now 70% of our turnover and all the growth is through ecommerce. I started to think about a purchase suggestion system to enhance/automate our purchase flows. I was planning to build it myself but realized that these guys made exactly what I was looking for - but way better! we use the service on a daily basis to optimize and make purchase decisions. Lokad is not replacing the purchase managers but enhances the capacity and provides most valuable insights to make their work efficient and accurate.
Lokad brings a new tool to the table, one that is both powerful and innovative. But on top of that, Lokad has shared with Air France Industries its expertise in inventory optimization and Supply Chain management, thus bringing not only a complimentary IT solution but also a real consulting expertise, which our teams can rely on.
If you can't measure it, you can't optimize it.

The Quantitative Supply Chain represents a novel and disruptive perspective on the optimization of supply chains. It can be seen as a refoundation of many supply chain practices, in particular regarding inventory forecasting, and has been built to make the most of the latest statistical approaches and vast computing resources that are available nowadays.
This perspective has emerged at Lokad, a software company founded by Joannes Vermorel. Lokad mixes data analysis with machine learning, cloud computing and supply chain expertise in order to optimize supply chains in a rational and quantitative way, so that the business and financial impacts of every decision are properly quantified. His experience at Lokad has given Joannes Vermorel the opportunity to study and analyze the methods, challenges and performances of dozens of companies all over the world.
