Order Volume Forecasting

Forecasts daily store orders from calendar, holidays and promotions

1-2 weeks build

Overview

Predicts how many orders a store will receive each day using the public Rossmann Store Sales data from Kaggle. Calendar features, state and school holiday flags, promotions and lagged demand feed a LightGBM regressor, which is compared with a seasonal naive baseline. A Streamlit planner lets a store manager test what a promotion might do to next week's volume.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Calendar, holiday, promotion and lag features engineered from scratch
  • 02Seasonal naive baseline that the model must beat
  • 03Time-based validation across rolling windows
  • 04Feature importance showing the effect of promotions
  • 05What-if planner for promotions and holidays
