Predictive analytics Stock lasts nine more days. The supplier needs fourteen.

We build forecasts for demand and reordering from your sales and stock data, per item and warehouse. So you know in advance, not when the customer calls.

Sound familiar?

Planning by gut feeling works until it does not.

  • Sold out

    The customer wants to order, the item is gone, and the next delivery is three weeks away.

  • Full warehouse

    At the same time, slow movers have been sitting on the shelf for months, tying up cash.

  • Spreadsheets and experience

    Planning lives in one person’s head and in a spreadsheet only they understand.

  • Silent churn

    A regular customer orders less often. Nobody notices until they are gone.

What we forecast

Three questions asked every week.

  • What will be needed?

    Demand per item, warehouse and customer group, including seasons and known promotions.

  • When do we need to order?

    Order suggestions from forecast, lead time and safety stock, for purchasing to approve.

  • Who is suddenly ordering less?

    Customers whose ordering rhythm breaks off land on a list for sales.

How we work

One category first. Then the comparison.

  1. Understand the data

    Sales, stock and lead times from ERP or shop. Exports are enough to start.

  2. Set up a pilot

    One product category or one warehouse, with a clear question and a clear measure.

  3. Measure against current planning

    Forecast and gut feeling run side by side. Whatever is demonstrably better stays.

Common questions

What you should know beforehand.

What data do you need?
Sales data, stock levels and lead times. Customer data is optional. An export from ERP or shop is enough to start, even as Excel.
How much history is needed?
The more, the better seasonal effects can be recognised. With little history the forecast becomes more cautious, and we will tell you so.
Do we need new IT infrastructure?
No. At first we work with exports. A permanent connection to ERP or shop only comes once the pilot has convinced you.
What happens to our data?
It remains your data. We work GDPR-compliant and delete it after the project if you wish.
What does it cost?
That depends on your data and scope. We recommend a limited pilot so you see the benefit before investing more.

Highs or lows in your stock? Your sales data shows them sooner than any barometer.

We calculate with your sales data instead of rules of thumb and show what it brings using one category.
