Drastically reduce unsold Copies while protecting single-issue Sales of your Newspapers and Magazines with DemandSens Press

The modern press industry faces two kinds of challenges:

#1 – OVERSUPPLY
Every day, millions of newspapers end up being thrown away without ever having been sold, let alone read. Many press vendors have a high rate of unsold newspapers on a recurring basis. They are oversupplied.

The key is to reduce the costs of production and distribution by minimizing the number of unsold copies.
#2 – UNDERSUPPLY

Others sell frequently their entire stock. This means that they would have maybe sold more if they have received a higher supply of newspaper. They might be undersupplied.

Missed opportunity to make profit?

It's hard to keep up with demand, but AI-Forecasting can help

Forecasting the right products in quantities suited for any given day is not an easy task, but we have made this our sole focus. Our DemandSens solution uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to predict the optimal daily stock of newspapers and magazines to be sent out to each newspaper and press vendor. These predictions are based on historical data as well as various other factors like demand patterns or seasonality trends.

This way, we can reduce your costs of production and distribution by minimizing the number of unsold copies, while reducing the cases where copies are sold-out too fast.

DemandSens Press helps you lower distributed quantities and limit shortages while speeding up the forecasting process.
