Combining state-of-the-art forecasting algorithms with disruptive technology and a user-friendly interface allows you and your vendor partners to adapt to market changes before your competition.

Demand Forecasting software will measure and account for Lost Sales, overstock and closeouts. These are three pitfalls of not having a demand forecasting software solution. Sales forecasting methods doom you to repeat last years sales. Without real Demand Forecasting, tracking lost sales is only a KPI. Unless the lost sales are automatically incorporated into the forecast method, it’s a sales forecasting solution.
Our demand-driven solutions incorporate demand forecasting and analysis, driving inventory management decisions and supporting core retail, omni-channel, and supply chain processes. Each module is designed to fit seamlessly with the others and connect with your legacy systems to ‘Tighten the Links in your Chain’™.
Some enterprise planning systems boast a “web-hosted” solution but aren’t true Software as a Service (SaaS) models. Our SaaS demand forecasting and supply chain solutions are available on a subscription basis, without the need for long term contracts or additional hardware. Without the constraints of traditional models, we can provide more frequent software updates and better tech support (100% USA staffed) as our technicians are only dealing with one code version. New installs are fast and easy compared to enterprise systems. These efficiencies are passed on to our customers as cost savings providing fast ROI.
Top down inventory optimization sounds like a simple solution to many retail issues. But is forcing a forecast down from the top really the best solution? iKIS™ allows for a bottom up approach by providing accurate forecasting at the lowest levels and seamlessly rolling these forecasts up to upper hierarchy levels for reporting. With our robust exception management tools, long range forecasts at the location-product are remarkably accurate even with your longest lead time vendors.
