Scope

20+ city markets

in production

Three model families — forecasting, recommendation and NLP classification — running as one production system across every market.

What we built

The client operated a high-volume food delivery platform and needed ML models in production — not just prototypes. Requirements spanned forecasting, product intelligence, and recommendations, all deployed and monitored at scale across multiple geographic markets.

Key Features

Preparation time forecasting using xgBoost and Deep Neural Networks for real-time ETA accuracy.

Order volume forecasting across 20+ cities using Facebook Prophet with COVID and weather external regressors.

NLP-based product classification at scale — 200k+ SKUs categorized automatically.

Recommendation systems using TF-IDF, collaborative filtering, and user clustering.

Full ML lifecycle: model training, evaluation, deployment, and automated retraining pipelines.

REST API delivery via FastAPI and Spring Boot for operational system integration.

CI/CD for ML models with automated testing and rollback capabilities.

Results

Production-grade ML covering forecasting, recommendations, and NLP classification across 20+ city markets.

ETA accuracy improved significantly, directly impacting customer satisfaction scores.

Automated classification of 200k+ products eliminated manual taxonomy maintenance.

Personalized recommendations increased order conversion metrics.
