An out-of-stock indicator is received that indicates a product is out-of-stock or believed to be out-of-stock. Information about the features of the products and store are obtained or determined. The features are applied to a first machine learning model, which yields a probability that the item is out-of-stock. The obtained probability is compared to a threshold, and if the probability value is above a threshold, then the PI value is adjusted. If not above the threshold, then scans are monitored for out-of-stock conditions, and some time later the features will be applied to a different model, and the above-process repeated. In aspects, this process occurs over a certain time period or until the PI is adjusted.
A system can include one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including: (1) determining, by a predictive algorithm via a machine learning model, one or more predicted bids for one or more keywords in one or more campaigns; (2) adjusting the one or more predicted bids for the one or more keywords in the one or more campaigns; (3) pacing the one or more predicted bids for the one or more keywords by multiplying the one or more predicted bids by a pacing factor; iteratively adding real-time data to a training data set for the predictive algorithm; and iterating (1)-(3) at one or more periodic intervals as the real-time data is added to the training data set. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
An electronic indication of a nil pick is received. Item information associated with the desired product, sales data concerning the desired product, supply chain information associated with the desired product, and a perpetual inventory (PI) value of the desired product are stored. An adjustment to the PI of the desired product is blocked when a predetermined event occurs at the retail store, or when information that contradicts the validity of the nil pick is received from the retail store. When the adjustment to the PI of the desired product is not blocked, an amount of the adjustment is determined based upon one or more of: the item information associated with the product, the sales data concerning the product, and the supply chain information associated with the desired product.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSISTING WITH MERCHANDISE PURCHASES AT A RETAIL FACILITY
There are provided systems and methods for assisting consumers with merchandise purchases at a retail facility. The system may include an application to facilitate purchase of merchandise items at a retail facility, which may be executed on a user's mobile device. The application may receive input regarding items scanned at the retail facility using the mobile device and may facilitate payment for the scanned items by the mobile device. The system may also include a control circuit that: accesses database(s) to determine the user's purchase history; determines candidate items to be considered for recommendation to the user; computes a ranking of candidate items based on a weighted combination of recency and frequency of purchases of each candidate item, merchandise category of other candidate items, and price of the candidate item; and causes the display on the mobile device of additional recommended merchandise items for purchase by the user.
Described in detail herein is a forecasting system. In one embodiment, the system can generate forecast data for the amount of labor and physical objects needed at various facilities.
