eCommerce Company uses Artificial Intelligence to Improve their Value Chain Logistics Viewpoints

One of the hottest areas for subscription services right now are ingredient and meal-kit delivery services. Two of the companies in this space – Blue Apron and Plated – were both in the news. Blue Apron went public last year, raising $300 million in the process, and Plated was acquired by the grocery chain Albertsons. These companies make weekly deliveries of pre-measured ingredients with recipes and instructions on how to put the meal together. These meal-kit services have distinctive supply chains and difficult forecasting issues.
