Using AI to predict grocery prices
EF 2024-25
Résumé
BetterCart Technologies Inc (BetterCart) is a grocery-tech company that uses price analytics and behavioural insights to render value for independent grocery retailers, Consumer Package Goods manufacturers, and food and beverage processors. BetterCart’s current software looks at multiple grocery vendors in order to compare prices across similar products. They have developed their own software that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to match exact and similar products across these different vendors, and looks to further develop their product by focusing on using AI to predict whether a product is regularly priced or sale priced, increase the flexibility of their parsing technology, and develop data visualizations for their customers. Digital Integration Centre of Excellence (DICE) at Saskatchewan Polytechnic will be guiding BetterCart to learn about alternative AI techniques, design and implement analytics displays, and to add automation to their manual processing system.
