DecisionNext Publishes Monthly Newsletter with Finished Goods Index

DecisionNext, a leading AI-driven decision support platform for commodity industries, launched a monthly newsletter this year highlighting its capabilities and perspectives on market conditions. 

DecisionNext has launched The Formula, its first subscription-based electronic newsletter aimed at topics of interest in the commodities space.  The newsletter features timely happenings across commodity verticals; conversations with movers and shakers in the industry; and a recurring finished goods forecast report which uses proprietary and patented AI-driven market simulation and decision support applications to highlight forecasted market movement.

The DecisionNext Hamburger Index compares the forecasts for inputs of a quarter-pound hamburger and bun to the same time period a year ago.  This index, among several other finished goods (rotisserie chicken [new], hot dogs and white bread) tracked by the company, is useful for retail ad planning; limited time offerings for restaurants; and procurement and production planning further up the supply chain.  

Rohit Aggarwal, DecisionNext Chief Operating Officer remarked “We are excited to be able to highlight our capabilities in a very useful manner through The Formula.  Our subscribers have access to our thoughts on market conditions, strategies, and thought leadership made possible by our industry experts and technology platform.  The Hamburger Index is a great example of the AI-driven value-adds the DecisionNext platform provides.” 

Powered by machine learning algorithms, DecisionNext allows market experts to bring together the best of human and machine intelligence to improve market visibility and forecast accuracy through transparent, interactive software. By having the ability to not just forecast markets, but simulate outcomes, decision-makers can more effectively evaluate options in high value, high frequency decisions across sourcing, operations, and sales.
