# Data innovation
With the support of the Sodexo Data & AI Factory, Sodexo is able to turn its operational data into business insights to continually improve its services, enhance its own and its clients’ operational efficiency while ensuring quality, security and data protection. Sodexo’s business intelligence services, combined with AI-powered technology and intuitive modeling solutions, are now being fully implemented in various business sectors. This makes it possible to accurately forecast demand, traffic and staff needs at a corporate restaurant, which helps optimize resources and limit waste. In particular, the Group is rolling out an AI-powered decision support tool to assist its buyers of food products. In the event of a product shortage or price increase, for example, the tool will search for a substitute product in the catalog of 30,000 references while staying within business line and operational constraints.
