OptimoBercher and AI Forecasts: No More Static Fixed Orders

The official integration for bakeries in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria: Sales data is sent to GoNina, and daily order recommendations are sent back.

With OPTIback2 and TURBOback NEXT, OptimoBercher is one of the leading bakery software providers in German-speaking countries, offering inventory management, branch ordering, production lists, and shipping planning—all from a single source. What these systems organize, GoNina can now calculate—the integration between OptimoBercher and GoNina is now officially available.

This allows AI sales forecasts to be integrated directly into the standard ordering process—for businesses in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.

What Makes Integration a Reality

Sales data is automatically sent to GoNina. Sales, product, and store data from the OptimoBercher environment is continuously transmitted via the interface—without the need for manual exports. The AI analyzes this data alongside weather forecasts, holidays, school breaks, and location patterns to generate daily forecasts for each product and store for the next seven days.

Order recommendations are fed back into the system. The crucial second step: The forecasts are fed back into the OptimoBercher environment as specific order recommendations. Instead of a static, fixed order—such as “45 croissants every Thursday for Store X”—the system now displays a quantity that is recalculated daily and already takes into account the day of the week, the weather, and the season.

The team has the final say. The suggestions override the stored default quantities but can be adjusted at any time—anyone in the company who knows something that isn’t in the data can correct it with a single click. The process for stores and production remains the same; only the numbers within it become more precise.

Why Fixed, Non-Negotiable Orders Cost Money

Fixed orders are convenient, but they’re a shot in the dark: The same Thursday order quantity applies whether it’s sunny or rainy, during the school year or on vacation, in January or in June. The difference between the fixed order quantity and actual demand ends up in the returns bin in the evening—or is missing from the shelf.

This is precisely the difference the forecast highlights: GoNina — businesses reduce their surplus by up to 52%, increase revenue by up to 6%, and save up to 12 hours of planning time per month — because no one has to manually update standing orders anymore.

A win for all three markets

OptimoBercher is in use in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria—and that’s exactly where GoNina is based. For bakeries using OptimoBercher, this means that getting started with AI forecasting doesn’t require a new system or any changes to their processes. The existing software remains the primary system, and GoNina complements it with volume intelligence.

Here's how to get started

The demo is followed by a 4-week trial period with a money-back guarantee: The GoNina team works with the business to set up the integration, and the first forecasts are available within a few days. Hosting is provided in Switzerland and the EU.
