AI Driven Customization of Customer boxes
Agreement Number:
1028273
Agreement Value:
$65,170.00
Agreement Date:
Feb 3, 2025 - Oct 27, 2025
Description:
The Project will support the development of a plan to leverage artificial intelligence to extensively leverage past customer behaviour (10+ years) and product availability in the pre-population of customer produce and meat boxes. This will result in both more satisfied customers (i.e. getting what they want without having to customize each week) and more accurate demand prediction (i.e. reducing out of stock from underordering and shrink from overordering).
