Reliable AI & Machine Learning Partner That Delivered What They Promised

Rachel Carter / Director of IT | Sep 30, 2026

Our experience with Hoods GmbH was really positive from start to finish. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We partnered with Hoods GmbH to build a demand forecasting model on top of our sales data. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The engagement ran for about 5 months.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Maya Tremblay / CTO | Aug 07, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The AI & Machine Learning work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We partnered with Hoods GmbH to build a demand forecasting model on top of our sales data. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. We worked together for around 3 months.
