How to use verteego

Verteego is implemented as an enterprise solution within the Bamboo Rose ecosystem. The typical workflow involves several key stages:

1. Integration: Connect the platform with your existing enterprise systems like PLM, ERP, and SCM to create a unified data environment.
2. Planning & Forecasting: Input historical sales data, market trends, and other variables. The AI models then generate highly accurate macro (market-level) and micro (SKU/store-level) demand forecasts. Use these insights to optimize replenishment schedules and plan high-ROI promotional campaigns.
3. Design & Development: During the product creation phase, upload sketches or design documents to receive instant first-cost estimations. The system can automatically generate comprehensive tech packs with intelligent suggestions for materials and construction, and perform proactive compliance checks to flag risks early.
4. Sourcing & Ordering: Streamline procurement by automatically extracting and normalizing bids from various formats (PDF, Excel, email). The platform provides supplier recommendations based on a holistic evaluation of cost, lead time, quality, and compliance, and helps optimize buy quantities and order splits.
5. Distribution & Logistics: Optimize logistics by using the platform's recommendations for transport routes and warehouse operations, taking into account real-world constraints to reduce costs and delays.
