How Machine Learning Powers SulitSuot

Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that enables systems to learn from data and improve predictions over time — without being explicitly programmed. At SulitSuot, we apply ML to demand forecasting: predicting how many students will need specific attire items during upcoming school events and cultural celebrations.

Our model is trained on historical booking records, school event calendars, and seasonal patterns. It continuously refines its predictions as new data comes in, helping us maintain optimal inventory and serve every student reliably.

Trend Forecasting

Year-over-year analysis shows a consistent 15–20% growth in Cultural category rentals, correlating with increased school cultural programs.

18% YoY growth confirmed

Stock Shortage Alert

Predictive model flags Kalinga Gown and Ifugao Attire as high-risk items for stockouts in Q4 2024 based on booking velocity.

2 items need restocking

Dynamic Pricing Suggestion

Based on demand elasticity analysis, the model recommends a 10% price adjustment during peak months to optimize revenue without reducing bookings.

How It Works

Our ML Pipeline

From raw booking data to actionable inventory decisions — here's how our forecasting pipeline operates end-to-end.

01

Data Collection

Booking records, event calendars, and seasonal patterns are gathered continuously.

02

Data Preprocessing

Raw data is cleaned, normalized, and transformed into time-series features.

03

Model Training

LSTM, Random Forest, and ARIMA models are trained and validated on historical data.

04

Forecasting

Models generate 6-month demand predictions with confidence intervals.

05

Action Alerts

Admins receive stock alerts and pricing suggestions based on forecast outputs.

Technology in Service of Sustainability

Our ML forecasting system directly supports SulitSuot's commitment to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption) by reducing over-procurement and waste, and SDG 4 (Quality Education) by ensuring every student has access to cultural attire when they need it most.

SDG 12

Reduces over-stocking & textile waste

SDG 4

Ensures attire availability for all students
