Method, electronic apparatus and recording medium for predicting sales volume of product in sales platform

Abstract

This invention relates to a method, electronic device, and recording medium for predicting sales volume in a sales platform. One embodiment of the method may include the following steps: determining a total sales volume forecast for a target item corresponding to a specific period based on a first sales volume forecasting algorithm, the first sales volume forecasting algorithm being one that predicts sales volume based on past sales volume of the target item; determining a total sales volume forecast for a group of items corresponding to the specific period based on a second sales volume forecasting algorithm, the second sales volume forecasting algorithm being one that predicts sales volume based on past sales volume of the group of items including the target item; determining a correction factor based on the total sales volume forecast for the group of items corresponding to the specific period; applying the correction factor to the total sales volume forecast for the target item to determine a corrected total sales volume forecast for the target item; and applying date segmentation factors to the corrected total sales volume forecast for the target item to determine a daily sales volume forecast for the target item corresponding to a specific date included in the specific period.
