Decathlon is transitioning its demand forecasting operations to Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) to address the scalability and efficiency challenges of managing forecasts for tens of thousands of products across multiple regions. While Decathlon previously employed sophisticated models like DeepAR and Temporal Fusion Transformers, the operational overhead of continuous retraining and infrastructure management became a significant hurdle. TSFMs offer a new approach by starting with a broad understanding of time-series data, aiming to reduce the effort required for ongoing system operation and adaptation. AI
IMPACT Adoption of TSFMs could streamline large-scale forecasting operations, reducing manual effort and improving adaptability to changing market conditions.
