KAPUA Inc.

Emerges from Stealth Mode, Enabling Companies to Achieve

Unprecedented Forecasting Accuracy Using Machine Learning

Powered by Machine Learning and Market Signal Gathering, KAPUA’s cloud-based planning and
forecasting platform helps customers gather market signals, find the right neural network models for
predictions and subsequently create 10x more accurate forecasts at higher speed and at higher
cadence, and at 10x less effort.

Palo Alto, CA, May 07, 2019 --(PR.com)-- KAPUA Inc. is officially launching its AI-based planning
and forecasting platform. Packaged in a turnkey SaaS solution, the Silicon Valley headquartered startup is
re-imagining how companies perform forecasting and what accuracy they achieve.

A multitude of decisions that companies make are based on accurate expectations about the future: when
and how much raw material to source, what to produce, what promotions to run, and many more
scenarios require an accurate forecast and are ultimately related to the tension between the working
capital and the fulfillment levels. An improvement in both, lowering working capital and increasing the
fulfillment levels, results in an increased top- and bottom-line performance (as much as 3M for every
100M revenue).

“KAPUA was founded to enable companies to make better and faster decisions by radically improving
the speed and the accuracy of their forecasts, to improve their ability to foresee the future,” says Dr.
Klemen Cas, Founder and CEO. Using Micro-Surveys, Deep Neural Networks and a very powerful
Neural Network Model Search Engine, KAPUA analyzes internal data such as orders, returns, shipments,
etc. and combines it with external data points (market and trend data, economic indicators, weather data,
micro-surveys etc.) to achieve unprecedented accuracy. (W)MAPE can be as low as 1-2%. “We're aiming
at improving the overall forecasting accuracy by 10x, thereby reducing the human effort equally by a
factor of 10. It is a 100x improvement that will create extraordinary value for our customers,” Dr. Cas
explains the value proposition.

About KAPUA
With its unique approach of combining Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially neural networks, with
market signal gathering and large-scale search engine for the best Neural Network Model, KAPUA's
customers enjoy MAPEs (mean absolute percentage error) and WMAPEs (weighted mean absolute
percentage error) in single digits. KAPUA's goal is 100x improvement; a reduction of the forecasting
error to one tenth of the existing error with instant availability of the numbers and one tenth of the
existing manual effort.

With the increased accuracy organizations lower their working capital and its cost while simultaneously
improving their fulfillment levels and the revenue.

KAPUA platform is a SaaS turnkey AI solution with a beautiful and easy to use user interface. It provides
end-to-end process capabilities. The implementation approach is low-touch and accelerated: the
onboarding process in KAPUA's public or private cloud environment is done within a few weeks from
