Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for intelligent distribution of products. In one aspect, a system comprises a memory storing instructions and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions. The processor performs operations include receiving forecasting data comprising an expected demand of a stock keeping unit and determining a target inventory of the SKU to satisfy the expected demand. The operations further include determining a regional target inventory of the SKU of a region comprising a plurality of fulfillment centers. The operations further comprise receiving historical data comprising the inbound and outbound shipment history of a fulfillment center in the plurality of fulfillment centers and generating a profile for the fulfillment center. The operations further comprise assigning a portion of the regional target inventory to the fulfillment center and transmitting instructions to a device to stock a number of SKUs in the fulfillment center based on the portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computerized method for item distribution, including retrieving, from a data structure, an inventory of a SKU at each of a plurality of destinations; determining a buffer of each of the destinations; determining an average buffer across the destinations; identifying at least one high utilization destination and at least one low utilization destination based on differences from the average buffer; and redistributing a network inventory by, iteratively and for each of the high utilization destinations: finding, in the data structure, a low utilization destination having a common attribute with the high utilization destination; and sending, to a user device for display, an instruction to transfer a redistribution quantity of the SKU from the low utilization destination to the high utilization destination.

Abstract: Systems and methods, and computer readable media for target inventory estimation of a geographical region are disclosed. The method receives an item identifier associated with an item for target inventory estimation. The method may access the demand share estimate of the item in the geographical region and the mean and variance estimates of the demand share estimate in the geographical region. The method may then access overall demand forecast data for the item and calculate the mean and variance estimates of the demand forecast. The method may use the generated mean and variance estimates and demand share estimate of the geographical region to determine the target inventory estimation of the region.
