We develop Machine learning (ML) solutions allowing you to
uncover valuable insights that drive smarter decisions.
Predict trends, optimise processes, personalize experiences, and extract knowledge from your data.
​
We have been building bespoke ML systems since 2015, typically with Azure ML. We also customise standard models from the likes of Azure AI Studio and Google Vertex AI.

Case Study
Context
Agentico was asked to optimise parts inventory for a machinery business with 25,000 lines in stock over 4 sites.
​
Stock demand is seasonal and uneven across sites. Demand for many components is not market driven but set by warranty alerts. However, a third of supply must be ordered months in advance in order to achieve discounts.
​
Approach
We mapped business processes and interviewed stakeholders, inside and outside the business; warehouse managers, suppliers and finance providers. Data was sourced and algorithms tuned to the historical demand.
Approach Cont...
A prototype was trialled with users. The final model was then deployed with user training for each site and maintained on request.
​
Solution
An ensemble model was developed, comprising a 1D convolutional neural network for time series forecasting and a traditional ARIMA model.
Logic was then constructed to accommodate warranty rules and distribution of stock across sites, given costs of picking and transit.
​
Data pipelines were built as simply as possible to enable the inevitable maintenance and change of incentives from supplies.
​
Impact
The model saved 10% in required stocking levels and reduced parts obsolescence, paying for itself in the first year of usage.
