Solution Design

For the integration between your Source and Prediko Demand Forecasting, we design the Source system as the absolute authority for historical transactions and live inventory levels. We typically implement batch data transfers for historical sales to ensure the demand baseline is built on stabilised data, avoiding the volatility of real-time syncing during peak periods. A critical trade-off is made here: while real-time updates might seem attractive, batch processing allows for thorough validation against cancelled orders and refunds before they reach the forecast model, preventing over-purchasing. We prioritise the mapping of SKUs and Purchase Orders first, deferring minor warehouse movements until the core procurement cycle is stable. This design ensures that finance can close monthly figures based on verified records while ops works off a demand plan that reflects actual net sales.

iPaaS

Cogent2 leverages iPaaS platforms to swiftly deliver Prediko Demand Forecasting integration for Shopify App users. iPaaS offers agile, secure connections, backed by ISO 27001 and SOC 2 accreditations, ensuring data safety. This tech enables smooth integration of Prediko Demand Forecasting with Shopify App, enhancing operational efficiency and data flow. Businesses benefit from reliable, scalable solutions that support growth without compromising security.

Surfacing gaps before they impact purchasing

Standard system dashboards often hide the quiet failures that lead to stockouts. Visibility comes from monitoring the delta between your source system inventory and the Prediko forecast baseline. We surface exceptions when data transfers fail or when SKU mappings become orphaned, which would otherwise lead to invisible gaps in your purchasing plan. By identifying these issues before they impact the next procurement cycle, the finance and operations teams can maintain trust in the automated replenishment suggestions rather than reverting to manual double checks.

Operational handover for finance and ops

Handover focuses on the finance and operations teams who own the procurement cycle. We provide a plain English operating model that defines how sales data flows from the Source into Prediko Demand Forecasting. Teams are trained to perform weekly checks on SKU mapping consistency and to monitor alerts for sync failures that could impact reorder suggestions. Documentation is strictly operational, detailing who owns each exception type, such as orphaned SKUs or missing purchase order dates. This ensures the team knows exactly where data lives and how to respond to integration alerts without needing technical intervention.

Long term pipeline and sync governance

Support is handled through active monitoring of the data pipelines between your source system and Prediko. We manage the escalation of sync errors and data mismatches, ensuring that your procurement cycles are not delayed by technical issues. Our team takes ongoing ownership of the integration health, providing the oversight required to keep forecasting accurate as your catalogue grows.

Integration operating model

The source system remains the owner of live inventory and transaction history, while Prediko acts as the intelligence layer for replenishment. Operations teams manage product launches and purchase orders in the source system, which Prediko then ingests to model future velocity. This removes the need for finance to reconcile spreadsheets across multiple platforms. Instead, the team works off a single version of the truth where the source system records what happened, and Prediko predicts what needs to happen next to maintain optimal stock levels.

Common failures

One common failure occurs when the source system does not accurately reflect incoming stock from pending purchase orders, causing Prediko to suggest unnecessary reorders. Another risk is SKU drift, where new products are added to the shop floor but fail to map correctly in the forecasting logic, leading to stockouts for high-growth items. Finally, if cancelled or refunded orders are not filtered correctly from the initial sales dump, the demand baseline becomes ArrayList inflated. These failures result in tied-up capital or missed revenue, both of which are avoidable with structured data validation.
