OTTO improves demand forecasting accuracy up to 30% with Google Cloud's TiDE model

OTTO, a leading German ecommerce retailer, used Google Cloud's Time-series Dense Encoder (TiDE) model trained on Vertex AI and deployed on GKE to analyze multivariate time-series data such as seasonal demand patterns, pricing changes, and promotions. TiDE improved demand forecasting accuracy by up to 30%, helping OTTO reduce inventory costs, minimize stock-outs and overstocks, and support dynamic pricing, with particularly strong responsiveness for volatile products like iPhones versus more stable items like men's jeans.

Toyota shifts into overdrive: Developing an AI platform for enhanced manufacturing efficiency

Toyota's Production Digital Transformation Office built an in-house AI Platform on a Google Cloud hybrid architecture that lets factory floor employees create machine learning models without AI expertise, automating manual, labor-intensive tasks. Built by a six-person team in about 1.5 years, the platform runs at all 10 Toyota car and unit manufacturing factories; the number of models created rose from 8,000 in 2023 to 10,000 in 2024, saving over 10,000 man-hours per year, with nearly 1,200 active users and 400+ trained annually.
