Startup studio · Bengaluru, India

We build products
that see what's ahead.

HKS Labs is a product studio building ML-driven software — starting with Forecastory, a demand forecasting platform that gives growing brands forward visibility over inventory, revenue, and risk.

One studio, many products

Each product runs as its own company — shared engineering DNA, independent roadmaps.

Engineers first

A decade of enterprise SaaS, ML, and cloud architecture behind every line we ship.

Built from Bengaluru

Made in India's product capital, designed for markets everywhere.

The product

Forecastory — forward visibility
for growing brands.

Our flagship platform converts your sales history into SKU-level demand forecasts and reorder recommendations, so inventory decisions are driven by data — not guesswork.

ML · SaaS · Multi-tenant

Forecastory

Upload 18–24 months of sales history and receive weekly demand forecasts per SKU, complete with confidence intervals and reorder points.

  • SKU-level forecasts refreshed weekly, tuned to seasonality and trends
  • Reorder points and quantities — know what to buy, how much, and when
  • Accuracy tracked openly against your existing forecasting method
  • Works with exports from Shopify, Zoho, Unicommerce, and Tally

Result-oriented

Judged on outcomes

Every engagement is measured against your current baseline — accuracy, stockouts, and working capital. If the numbers don't improve, the conversation is over.

3-month trial

Prove it in a quarter

A structured three-month trial with the full platform: onboarding in week one, weekly forecasts, and a formal accuracy review every month.

No lock-in

Continue on evidence

At the end of the trial, you see the results side by side with your previous method. You continue only if the outcomes justify it.

The product in practice

From raw history to forward visibility.

Forecastory converts historical sales data into forward-looking, SKU-level demand signals. Illustrative product views below.

Data security

Your data. Isolated, encrypted, yours.

Forecastory is built as a multi-tenant platform with security designed in from the architecture up — not added later.

Tenant data isolation

Every customer's data is logically isolated at every layer of the platform. Your sales history is never commingled with, or visible to, any other tenant.

Encryption throughout

Data is encrypted in transit over TLS and encrypted at rest. Credentials and secrets are managed through dedicated secret stores, never in code.

Your data stays yours

Your data is used solely to generate your forecasts. It is never sold, shared, or used to build models for other customers — and you can export or request deletion at any time.

Controlled access

Role-based access control and least-privilege principles govern every system touchpoint, with audit trails on data access and changes.
