Antuit

Antuit.ai, now part of Zebra Technologies, is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for the retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries. Founded in 2013 by Neeraj Bhargava, the company was established to help businesses leverage data for more accurate demand prediction and inventory management. Bhargava, a former partner at McKinsey & Company and co-founder of WNS, brought extensive experience in growing global businesses.

In October 2021, Zebra Technologies acquired Antuit.ai, which was previously owned by a consortium led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The acquisition integrated Antuit.ai's demand forecasting capabilities into Zebra's broader portfolio of retail and supply chain software, including solutions for workforce management and prescriptive analytics. Prior to the acquisition, Antuit.ai had expanded its own capabilities through a series of strategic acquisitions, including Marketwell, Prognos, AuriQ Systems, YDatalytics, and Forecast Horizon. Following the acquisition by Zebra, the product line is now marketed as Zebra Workcloud Demand Intelligence.

Antuit.ai offers a suite of cloud-native solutions designed to optimize key business decisions from supply chain to merchandising and marketing. The company's core products provide AI-powered demand forecasting, inventory optimization, lifecycle pricing, and merchandising solutions. These tools analyze vast amounts of data, including localized events, weather, and social trends, to generate a granular "unified demand signal." This enables clients to improve forecast accuracy, optimize inventory allocation across omnichannel environments, and implement intelligent pricing and promotion strategies. The platform is designed to augment clients' existing systems, helping them to maximize sell-through, increase margins, and enhance customer satisfaction. Antuit.ai serves Fortune 1000 companies, with a client roster that has included major brands like PepsiCo, Walgreens, and General Mills.
