Recykal Price Intelligence Platform

A forward price prediction platform for recyclable commodities such as plastics, paper and metals, where a margin swing of a few paise per kg on a truckload decides where a dispatch goes. It ingests daily regional index feeds and shipment ledgers into a feature store, then runs a rolling competition between EWMA, Damped Holt and Drift models to generate a 14-day forward curve for every material grade across active city clusters. Confidence is empirical: the upper and lower bands come from the actual 10th and 90th percentiles of backtested residuals per horizon step, not a flat assumed margin. On top of the forecast, an economic-threshold engine emits BUY, SELL or NEUTRAL signals by weighing the projected 14-day slope against real holding, freight and liquidation costs. An analytics dashboard tracks MAPE and residuals against ground-truth quotes, and a clean REST API serves the whole feed into Recykal's own app.
