The UK's innovation agency, Innovate UK supports Singular Intelligence for FMCG & Retail resilience

Updated: Jun 11, 2020

Introducing cutting-edge consumer preferences and demand prediction technology for COVID-19 and new normal


Press Release – 10 June 2020, London, UK

'Innovate UK, the UK's Innovation agency' has chosen Singular Intelligence among the successful companies in the Fast Start Competition that was launched in response to the outbreak, inviting ambitious technologies to build UK resilience, and support them to build the next generation of cutting edge technologies.

Singular Intelligence AI technology offers reliable, forward-looking insights on changing consumer preferences and demand patterns in uncertain markets during and after the pandemic. The cutting edge solution combines in a novel way, frontiers of AI technologies with concepts from game theory and consumer psychology. The modelling uses all relevant information, including the dynamic market, consumer and COVID-19 data.

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted short- and long-term outlooks with chaotic demand patterns across all product categories. We are witnessing changing brand and channel preferences in an already complex and dynamic multi-channel retail market. Traditional historical data-based modelling solutions have become less relevant due to the dynamically evolving consumer and market context. Businesses can use the innovative SI solution creating granular consumer preferences and reliable demand scenarios for an improved category, pricing, promotions and revenue management.

Sarvesh Kumar, the Founder & CEO, Singular Intelligence said

  • "It is not a new business model, rather the agility and innovation in the business model that will be important to survive and thrive. The new retail would be founded with a much more robust competence to understand, anticipate, adapt and respond to evolving market events and consumer behaviour".

  • "AI and data are core to this transformation. Innovate UK support helps us to advance Singular Intelligence roadmap and accelerate our vision of 'empowering reliable, timely decisions at scale for commercial and social benefits."

Executive Chair, Innovate UK, Dr Ian Campbell, said:

  • "Businesses from all over the UK have answered our call rapidly to meet the challenges we face today and in the future through the power of innovation."

  • "The ideas we have seen can truly make a significant impact on society, improve the lives of individuals, especially those in vulnerable groups and enable businesses to prosper in challenging circumstances."

Innovate UK is part of UK Research and Innovation. The Fast Start Competition was launched in April 2020 in response to the outbreak, inviting ambitious technologies to build UK resilience, and is being managed by Innovate UK.
