We are very happy to announce that we are organising the 17th edition of the Eindhoven Data Community meetup together with our friends from Picnic! This time we will be back June 19th, at one of our favourite locations, the Skybar in Microlab!

Starting in one Dutch town in 2015, Picnic now serves over 60 cities in both the Netherlands and Germany. The secret to their success? An end-to-end business and a just-in-time supply chain. From the app-only store, forecasting of orders, warehouse fulfilment, to the evolving distribution strategy of their fleet of electric vehicles, they have build everything in-house on their own developed software. During the meetup, Sven and Job, both Machine Learning engineers at PicNic, will talk about their cloud agnostic, internal ML platform running on Kubernetes.

**Talk 1: Optimizing Picnic's last mile delivery using our ML Platform**
As an online supermarket and tech company, Picnic has more than 20 ML models in production. These models play a critical role in optimizing our supply chain and last-mile delivery logistics. In this talk, we will dive deeper into the stop-time model, which predicts our customer delivery times. Having an accurate forecast for our customer delivery times enables us to plan efficiently while still providing a pleasant customer experience. Furthermore, we will show how our internal ML platform enables us to run these models effortlessly and discuss our latest addition to the platform: the Feast feature store.

**Talk 2:** *T.B.A*
*More info will follow soon.*
