Explanation and possibilities

Forecasting and ordering suggestions

A forecast uses available history and assumptions to look ahead. For purchasing, this can help determine an ordering time or quantity.

How does it work in practice?

An expectation remains a calculation with assumptions. Therefore, period, delivery time, stock and exceptions should be visible so that someone can review a suggestion before placing an order.

  • View sales history and inventory together
  • Include delivery times and desired stock
  • Be able to check and adjust order suggestions

What should you reorder when sales pick up?

The Smartlife dashboard contains sales forecasts, comparisons with last year and stock. This way you can investigate whether an increase is in line with the season or a change in your range.

You then assess the order suggestion with the delivery time and what is already on its way. You can see which items deserve attention and where you do not want to build up extra stock.

    Connecting products, ranking and campaigns with turnover forecast, YoY comparisons and targeted purchasing.

  • Analyze inventory

    An inventory analysis shows where items are running out, lying around for a long time or tying up a lot of money. Sales, delivery time and available stock together provide context.

  • Data analysis for daily decisions

    An analysis helps understand where a difference comes from. For example, why the margin changes or which products determine the stock value.

  • Check data quality

    Reporting and automation require actionable source data. Checks reveal missing, duplicate or anomalous data.
