Aplus and AI Forecasts: The Official Integration for Bakeries

GoNina and Aplus are working on a direct integration—available starting in Q4 2026. What the interface will be capable of and why it’s worth getting a head start.

Aplus is one of the leading point-of-sale system providers for bakeries and retail businesses in Switzerland. Many businesses use Aplus to track their daily sales—by item, by location, and by day. It is precisely this data that forms the basis for accurate, AI-driven sales forecasts.

That's why GoNina and Aplus are officially working on a direct integration. The interface is currently under development and is expected to be available starting in Q4 2026. Businesses using Aplus can sign up now to be part of the launch.

What Integration Can Do

Automatic data import. Sales, product, and store data are automatically transferred from Aplus to GoNina —no manual export required, no duplicate data entry.

AI forecasts by item and location. GoNina combines sales history with weather forecasts, holidays, school breaks, and seasonal patterns to generate a daily sales forecast for each product and location for the next seven days.

Order recommendations are fed back into the system. The forecasts are integrated back into the usual workflow as specific order recommendations. Production and store distribution operate directly with data-driven quantities rather than estimates.

Why Waiting Doesn't Have to Be Worth It

Anyone currently working with Aplus who wants to improve their planning doesn’t have to wait until the official launch of the interface. GoNina can also integrate sales data via interim solutions and start building forecasts now—that way, the AI will already be trained by the time direct integration begins and will provide accurate recommendations from day one.

Businesses that GoNina reduce their excess inventory by up to 52%, increase sales by up to 6%, and save up to 12 hours of planning time per month.
