The TrueGradient team · Bangalore, India

Our purpose at TrueGradient is to democratize AI to transform integrated business planning that enables seamless, end-to-end planning across demand, inventory, replenishment, pricing, promotions, assortment, personalization, and capacity.

We aim to make advanced technology accessible to businesses of all sizes, enabling quick integration with existing ERPs, databases, and marketplaces, while seamlessly embedding Deep Learning and AutoML into every facet of IBP.

AI supply chain planning, end to end.

Demand, inventory, replenishment, pricing and promotions modelled together, so every recommendation carries the drivers behind it and the S&OP room can act on it.

  • AI demand forecasting. Deep Learning models every SKU-location-week signal, including promotions, seasonality, price, and weather, into one probabilistic forecast.
  • Demand planning. That forecast becomes a consensus plan: scenarios, overrides and S&OP sign-off in one place, with a full audit of who changed what.
  • AI-native, not AI-added. Deep Learning and AutoML are the planning engine, not a plug-in on legacy rules.
  • Self-serve. Low-code/no-code configuration and experimentation tools, patented Self-Serve AI: live in weeks.
  • Integrates fast. Connects to existing ERPs, databases, and marketplaces. see integrations.
