The Order Quantity recommendation is built on a robust demand forecast that factors in:

  • Historical sales patterns
  • Anticipated pricing changes
  • Adjustments for out-of-stock periods
  • Broader sales trends

From this demand forecast, we

  • Deduct current stock and incoming deliveries
  • Add expected sales until the optimization start date
