Case Study: Actowiz Solutions – Demand Forecasting from Q-Commerce APIs Using AI in Germany

Introduction

Germany’s quick commerce (Q-commerce) market is booming, with platforms like Flink, Gorillas, and Getir competing to deliver groceries in 10–20 minutes. For brands and dark store operators, demand forecasting is critical—especially given varying consumption patterns across cities like Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt.

Actowiz Solutions partnered with top German FMCG suppliers and fulfillment chains to leverage Q-commerce APIs and AI algorithms for real-time, SKU-level demand forecasting. This enabled smarter inventory planning, reduced stockouts, and improved responsiveness during promotional periods and seasonal spikes.

Client Objectives

• Access structured Q-commerce data via Flink & Getir APIs
• Forecast short-term (next 24–72 hours) and medium-term (weekly) demand at the SKU + zip code level
• Identify demand surges during weekends, holidays, and promotions
• Predict category-level trends (e.g., beverages, baby care, bakery)
• Optimize dark store inventory and reduce unsold goods

Key Challenges

• Volatile demand due to flash sales, weather, and holidays
• Lack of historical access to localized demand at SKU-level
• Inconsistent API formats across platforms
• Demand signals buried across multiple data endpoints (price, cart volume, stock flags)
• Lag in updating safety stock thresholds

Client Testimonial

• Roll out across Austria, Netherlands, and Switzerland Q-commerce markets

Conclusion

With real-time data from Q-Commerce APIs and predictive AI, Actowiz Solutions empowers FMCG brands and delivery networks in Germany to make smarter, faster inventory decisions.

From Berlin’s breakfast rush to Frankfurt’s snack spikes, demand is no longer unpredictable. It’s forecasted, mapped, and optimized—thanks to API scraping, ML modeling, and Actowiz’s intelligent data engine.
