SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF FORECASTING SEASONAL TRANSITIONS IN RETAIL SALES.

摘要

In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided to forecast changes in seasons and/or changes in expected sales at one or more retail shopping facilities. In some embodiments, a system comprises a forecast control circuit; a memory storing computer instructions that cause the forecast control circuit to: forecast when a first changing of a first season to a second season is to occur at a first geographic area based on a detected change in sales of at least a first set of products at a first retail shopping facility located within the first geographic area; and forecast when in the future a second changing of the first season to the second season at a second geographic area is to occur based on a seasonal delay factor of the second geographic area relative to the occurrence of the changing of the first season at the first geographic area.
