In our recent webcast, AI-Powered Demand Forecasting, Farshad Kheiri and Kristin Brennan discussed how businesses have responded to the changes in their customers’ buying patterns during the past year. Businesses have invested in digital transformation initiatives to keep pace, such as letting customers buy online or pick up in-store.
