Forecast inventory needs and reduce waste

Inventory planning should support your bottom line, not threaten it. Our platform forecasts demand at the product level so your teams can order what they need—nothing more, nothing less.

Here’s what that looks like:

  • Cut food waste and over-ordering
  • Improve ordering accuracy across stores
  • Stay ahead of spikes in demand
  • Free up time managers spend on manual inventory planning

A single source of truth for labor and inventory planning

Forecast Manager connects the dots between labor, sales, and inventory planning. It replaces siloed tools with a single, centralized process and view—saving time, improving execution, and cutting costly errors.

How it helps:

  • Eliminate redundant workflows
  • Reduce errors from manual entry
  • Standardize planning across every location
  • Give every manager the same consistent view

We have seen a 25% accuracy improvement on the previous system forecast. The model gives managers a more accurate baseline from which they can build and tweak using their own knowledge and experience to deliver a highly accurate forecast.”
