Calculate Optimal Inventory Levels
Advanced Forecasting allows you to quickly and easily calculate optimal safety stock, order size, and re-order points while factoring in your average usage, variability, lead time, and desired service level.
Top Down Forecasting & Adaptation
Take advantage of Advanced Forecasting to easily adjust your forecast for specific market factors, such as promotions, competitive situations, and new opportunities, after collecting and analyzing data. You can make these adjustments at the group level or at the item level. If your company has common components with unlimited end-item configuration possibilities you can forecast the components as a product family and consume the forecast when a top-level item of the family is sold. This allows your forecasts to drive demand for components and for customer orders to drive demand for the top-level items.
