A method of assessing, deploying, and reconciling a plurality of different, non-durable stock-keeping units (SKUs) for a plurality of different retail facilities in a plurality of different geographic areas, the method comprising:
- receiving a target SKU count input of a target SKU;
- receiving an actual SKU count input of the target SKU on an assessment date;
- determining a future delivery date, the future delivery date later than the assessment date;
- calculating a date difference, the date difference based on a difference between the assessment date and the future delivery date;
- calculating a count difference, the count difference based on a difference between the target SKU count input and the actual SKU count input;
- simulating, using a trained model, an effect of time on a quantity of target SKU required for delivery, using the date difference and the count difference, to determine a projected target SKU count;
- and
- based on the projected target SKU count, issuing a packing instruction, the packing instruction configured to instruct a packing of the target SKU onto a transportation vehicle at a dynamically selected intermediate facility.
