Artificial Intelligence (AI) based methods and systems for predicting opportunities for special pricing agreements (SPA) are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving a user input indicating a stock keeping unit (SKU) and a customer name, and accessing an SPA database to determine (i) a customer type, (ii) a customer address, and (iii) any historical SPAs corresponding to the customer. The example method further includes predicting, by utilizing a machine learning (ML) model, a set of SPA opportunities that each have a respective cost and a respective confidence interval and that satisfy a confidence interval threshold. The example method further includes determining a first SPA opportunity corresponding to a highest respective confidence interval, and a second SPA opportunity corresponding to a lowest cost of each SPA opportunity in the set of SPA opportunities; and transmitting a notification of the first and second SPA opportunities for display to a user.
