Product-level demand and stock planning
Sell-through, season and campaign effects are modelled per SKU, suggesting how much to reorder and when.
Overview
“The last three months’ average” looks at a single signal: past sales. A forecasting model weighs dozens at once — seasonality, day of week, holidays, campaign periods, price changes, weather, lead times and out-of-stock days. It also produces a range and a confidence level rather than one number, which is what actually answers “how much safety stock for this critical item?”. Accuracy is always measured: we back-test the model on past periods and compare it against your current method.
How it works
Scope
Produces weekly and monthly demand projections by product, category and location.
Calculates safety stock and reorder points from lead times and target service levels.
Shows the impact of scenarios such as “what if we raise price 10%” or “what if we run a campaign”.
Projects the coming period’s cash position from collection and payment history.
Forecast, actuals and variance on one screen, broken down by product and region.
Forecasts refresh nightly with new sales data and model performance is monitored continuously.
Industry Use Cases
What gets forecast changes by industry — case counts here, occupancy rates there. The scenarios we work on most:
Sell-through, season and campaign effects are modelled per SKU, suggesting how much to reorder and when.
Each dealer’s ordering rhythm is learned, flagging dealers whose expected order is late and regions with growth headroom.
Occupancy is projected from the booking curve, cancellation rates and seasonality, informing rate and allotment decisions.
Order forecasts are translated into production plans and material requirements, prioritising long-lead-time items.
Shipment volumes are forecast by region and day so vehicle, warehouse and staffing capacity can be planned to match.
Collection behaviour and sales forecasts are combined to project the cash position for the next 3–6 months.
