AI for your Distribution
Artificial Intelligence Serving the Food Distribution Industry
Better Forecasting for Better Deliveries.
Every day, thousands of food products are delivered to stores… and many end up in the trash. For distributors, this is a major logistical challenge: how can they deliver the right products, in the right quantity, to the right place, at the right time?
In collaboration with Moov AI, CIS Group has developed an artificial intelligence solution that transforms delivery planning and assortment optimization. Integrated into our distribution tools, this technology enables data-driven decision-making rather than relying on intuition.
Two Key Drivers for More Accurate Distribution.
The project is built around two complementary modules that directly impact the performance of food distributors:
Demand Forecasting.
This module analyzes historical sales data, returns, promotions, weather, and seasonal trends to anticipate the specific needs of each point of sale. It helps recommend more accurate quantities, avoid overstock and stockouts, and better meet consumer expectations.
Assortment Optimization.
Every store is unique. By factoring in local preferences, consumption habits, and regional context, the system automatically suggests the most suitable products for each location. The result: more relevant shelves, maximized sales, and a significant reduction in waste.
When AI Optimizes Logistics for a More Efficient and Responsible World.
Tangible Results.
Thanks to this technology, our partners have saved over 100,000 products per year across the network. That’s up to 8 million products saved annually, reducing food waste, economic losses, and environmental impact.
Delivering better means being more productive and wasting less. With AI, our distributors can achieve this and we all benefit.
– Éric Tessier, President of CIS Group
Toward More Efficient and Responsible Distribution.
This project demonstrates how artificial intelligence can become a driver of sustainable transformation for food distributors. By replacing instinctive decisions with objective recommendations, we help teams plan better, deliver better, and serve their customers more effectively.
A Technological Alliance Serving Distribution.
This initiative is the result of a strategic collaboration between CIS Group and Moov AI. Together, we combined our hands-on expertise in food distribution with their know-how in artificial intelligence and cloud architecture.
This partnership is built on a shared vision: a more agile, intelligent, and sustainable distribution model. Rather than simply automating processes, we designed a solution that learns, adapts, and supports field teams. It’s an approach that values data as a decision-making engine and places people at the heart of innovation.
Distribution Innovation: CIS Group and Moov AI Leading the Way
On July 10, 2025, in Montreal, in the presence of the Honourable Evan Solomon, Federal Minister of Artificial Intelligence, CIS Group unveiled a major innovation project supported by Scale AI, in collaboration with Moov AI. This initiative is powered by two essential AI engines: predictive ordering and point-of-sale assortment optimization.
We are at the crossroads of a technological revolution that is reshaping society.
(…)
Those who master AI will shape the future.
(…)
The people in this room are the innovators we must invest in.
– Evan Solomon, Canadian Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation
