E-Commerce Demand Forecasting with ARIMA And SES Methods

With the rapid growth of the e-commerce industry, effective warehouse management has become essential for optimizing the supply chain. This study utilized the ARIMA model and Single Exponential Smoothing to develop a forecasting model by combining historical sales data with information on new merchandise. The model successfully predicted demand from May 16 to 30, 2024, and its accuracy was verified using the indicator. The predictions based on historical shipment data achieved an accuracy of 97.81%, while those for new dimension goods, relying on the demand for known dimension goods, reached 95.42%. These findings will significantly influence the strategic planning and operational efficiency of e-commerce companies. By optimizing inventory management, improving order processing, and enhancing supply chain collaboration, businesses can better meet consumer demand. However, the study does not provide enough focus on short-term to medium-term forecasts. Future research will aim to expand this analysis to include a long-term perspective and incorporate cross-platform data to enhance market insights.
