Team

Gunthilde Sohn and Alexey Spas, back in 2000, started to work as a product start-up with a small team of qualified engineers, creating a content management system. The product was introduced to their first enterprise clients in the automotive and manufacturing industries shortly after. As demand grew, the company received requests from these and other clients for software support and legacy modernization. To meet these needs, Gunthilde Sohn and Alexey Spas established the *instinctools company and expanded the team with qualified engineers, rapidly growing to a team of 400+ experts.

Description

How replacing a traditional forecasting model in Excel with ML-based demand forecasting and Power BI visualization empowered a Canadian clothing retailer to step up their long-term forecasting accuracy from 23% to 92%, lower stockouts to 10%, and keep overstock within the 5% range.

Solution

The client was already using Microsoft corporate products, such as Dynamics365, Azure SQL database, etc., so they wanted to keep their tech stack consistent and opt for Azure ML. Moreover, they were also leveraging Power BI for visual insights in other departments.

However, they lacked in-house capacity and expertise to manage this software implementation initiative. Therefore, the *instinctools team was tasked with developing and integrating demand forecasting and data visualization tools into the client’s software ecosystem.

Results

Advanced demand forecasting with a deep learning engine at its core
Holistic ML model incorporating multiple internal and external data sources
Automated data processing and forecasting
High-fidelity long-term demand forecasts
Mitigated shortages and overstock

FAQ

What does Instinctools do?

We help businesses to modernize and innovate by tackling complex technological challenges. Instinctools experts provide the full spectrum of software development and consulting services:

From innovation consulting to implementation and support, we are committed to being a reliable technology partner that is ready to meet your technological challenges, whatever they are.

What sets Instinctools apart from the competition?

Our customers, our employees, and how we treat them make us different from others. As a technology company building digital products for our clients from the United States and Europe for over 20 years, we know that technology is only the enabler, but digital product engineering goes beyond that. Instinctools assists customers in seeing the big picture and guides them carefully and confidently on the path to success.

What is the project approach of Instinctools?

Leveraging over 20 years of experience in digital product engineering, we've developed a Delivery Framework that addresses project challenges. Rooted in DAD (Disciplined Agile Delivery) and PMBoK principles, it's robust yet adaptable to meet our clients’ specific needs. This framework guides the entire software development lifecycle, from start to finish.

Our approach effectively handles product development issues like technical complexities, inefficient teamwork, ever-evolving stakeholder requirements, and legacy code challenges. Based on the PM Handbook, an architecture-driven methodology, and strong engineering practices, *instinctools’ Delivery Framework facilitates seamless interaction between clients and our team at every project phase.

We value your time and money just as we do ours. With our unique approach, we make sure your project crosses the finish line right on schedule and meets your budget expectations. Here's how we make it happen:

Strategic planning. Every successful project begins with a blueprint. We map out each phase from A to Z, breaking down the project into manageable segments. This way, we can monitor progress and adapt as needed without losing sight of the end goal.
Agile methodology. Flexibility is key in our industry. We embrace Agile practices to respond to changes in a flash without derailing the timeline.
Outstanding teamwork. Our teams are composed of seasoned pros who know how to keep the wheels turning. Through seamless communication and a shared commitment to your vision, we work in harmony to keep the project on track.
Regular check-ins. We treasure transparency. Regular updates and check-ins with you ensure that we're always aligned with your expectations and can make timely adjustments.
Proactive risk management. We don't just react to challenges. We anticipate them. By identifying potential hurdles early, we strategize in advance to avoid delays, ensuring a smooth journey from start to finish.

How does Instinctools calculate scope, time & budget?

Most projects need clarification and discovery, which can look like wasting time but save your money at the end of the day.

If you want to scale your development capacity or create an MVP to the strict deadline, we can always help you as we keep 12% of our engineering team on the bench to start new projects smoothly.

Who is the typical client of Instinctools?

We work with businesses of various sizes and industries, including Manufacturing, Education, Logistics, Ecommerce, Fintech, Automotive, Ad-Tech, Healthcare, Entertainment and Media, AgTech, and Biotech.

Instinctools’ team works from development centers in Europe (Poland), LATAM, and Central Asia (Kazakhstan). Our US headquarters is located in Potomac MD, and the EU headquarters is in Stuttgart, Germany.

Doing this business for 20+ years, we guarantee a minimum of four hours of time overlap with our customers in any part of the world. When it comes to the European Union, United Kingdom, and the United States East Coast, we can guarantee from six to eight hours of time overlap.
