For bakery chains
The right quantity in every store and for every retail partner.
AIPERIA forecasts demand by product and location and turns it into concrete baking, production and delivery recommendations. Less waste, higher availability, more profit.
Every store behaves differently, and it changes by the day.
One store you can run on instinct. With fifty, a hundred or five hundred it becomes a calculation that can no longer be handled on the side.
Experience is valuable. But it does not scale.
Every location has its own catchment area, its own daily pattern and its own peak times. With every change in the team, knowledge is lost, and across many stores it is hard to keep quality consistent. AIPERIA turns that experience into a reliable basis: demand is forecast by product and location, drawing on more than 150 factors such as weather, day of the week, public holidays and promotions. The result is the same accurate quantity in every store and for every retail partner, regardless of who is on shift.
From forecast to shelf
AIPERIA forecasts demand by product and location, to the day and within the day, up to several weeks ahead. More than 150 external factors feed in, such as weather, public holidays and seasonality. The forecast becomes concrete recommendations.
Own stores
Standardised baking and ordering recommendations
- Day-precise bake and order suggestions per store, calculated from sales history and around 150 input factors such as weather and holidays.
- Consistent planning quality across all stores: clear guidance instead of gut feeling, even when experienced planners are missing.
- Multi-day items such as long-life pastries and cream cakes are also planned in across shelf-life and production cycles.
Supplying supermarkets

Clear value for head office and store
Steer strategically
Management and head office
- Consistent planning quality across all stores and retail locations, independent of any individual’s experience.
- Transparency across locations and results. KPIs on waste and availability make differences visible and manageable.
- Scaling without loss of control, from the first store to the entire network.
Deliver in operations
Store and area management
- Relief in day-to-day operations. No more ordering on the side during busy periods.
- Clear baking and production recommendations that hold up in the team, even when people change.
- Manageable exceptions. Promotions, public holidays and weather conditions are planned in rather than corrected at short notice.
Automated, but never out of your hands

When the data basis is right, AIPERIA’s forecasts are frighteningly accurate.
All the systems managed to reduce waste, but only AIPERIA’s could also unlock dormant revenue potential at the same time.

Within the first week we saw that this is exactly what we had been missing. Across the board, I can say the system saves us a lot of work, in the stores and at head office alike.
In the confectionery section we now have 17% more revenue, without changing returns.
With AIPERIA we significantly increased the profit of our self-service stations at ALDI Nord.
AIPERIA gives my staff more time for what matters. By automating ordering we streamlined our processes and massively reduced the time spent on orders.
