Abstract

Online shopping is an increasingly popular way of purchasing among customers. Demands from online shopping are usually highly dynamic. Inventory management, to many online shop owners, hence is a challenging task. Accurate forecasting of daily sales helps better replenishment and sale. This paper proposes a method for online shop daily sale forecasting. In the method, Kalman Filter was firstly applied on the historic sale data to smooth the data. Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was then built to achieve time series forecasting. Sale histories of an online shop was used to evaluate the method. Overall performance of ANFIS was evaluated with MAPE and ACC({pm}), and were found to be 1.0725 and 40%, respectively. The results were found to be slightly better than Back Propagation Neural Network which has MAPE 4.9891 and ACC({\pm}) 39.85{\%}. 200 products were divided into 6 groups based on corresponding MAPE and ACC({\pm}). The results showed that daily sales of 22.86% products were predicted accurately, while that of 34.29% products were badly predicted. The results also indicated that membership function inserted in the model causes little impact on prediction accuracy. It was tested that the average performance indicator ACC({\pm}) ({\%}) stays stable with different membership functions.
