Key Capabilities

What Demand Forecasting does for you

InvenPro analyzes your full sales history and automatically selects the best forecasting method for each SKU. Whether you have seasonal products, fast movers, or slow-burning parts — the right forecast model is applied automatically.

📊

Sales Velocity Analysis

Calculates units-per-day velocity using your last 30, 60, or 90 days of sales data with stockout-adjusted accuracy.

📅

Seasonal Pattern Detection

Compares same-period last year to account for seasonal demand spikes in festive seasons, Thingyan, or year-end.

🎯

Per-SKU Model Selection

Each product gets the forecast method that fits its sales pattern — no manual configuration required.

✏️

Manual Override

Override any forecast with your own number for promotions, new launches, or market knowledge.

How It Works

STEP 01

Connect Your Sales Data

Sync your Shopify store or import historical orders. InvenPro ingests up to 2 years of sales history automatically.

STEP 02

Algorithm Auto-Selection

For each SKU, InvenPro evaluates Recent Sales Trend, Same-Period Last Year, and Custom Average — and picks the best fit.

STEP 03

Review Forecast Table

Open the Forecasting report to see projected demand, velocity, and confidence score for every product.

STEP 04

Override or Approve

Manually adjust any forecast for a promotion or new launch — all changes are saved with a timestamp.

Who It's For

Built for teams like yours

Real scenarios where Demand Forecasting makes a measurable difference.

🚗

Seasonal Auto Parts Business

Predict demand spikes before Thingyan or year-end so you stock the right filters and belts weeks in advance.

🏭

Multi-Brand Distributor

Each brand has different velocity patterns. InvenPro picks a different model per SKU — no manual tuning per brand.

🚀

New Product Launches

Override the algorithm with your own launch estimate and gradually let the system learn real demand as sales come in.

FAQ

Common questions about Demand Forecasting

How much sales history do I need?

InvenPro works with as little as 30 days of data, but forecasts improve significantly with 3+ months. Full 2-year import gives the best seasonal accuracy.

What happens for products with zero sales?

Products with no sales history are excluded from replenishment suggestions until at least 1 sale is recorded. You can manually set a forecast for new SKUs.

Can I use a different algorithm per product?

Yes — InvenPro auto-selects the best algorithm per SKU, but you can manually choose Recent Sales, Last-Year, or Custom Average for any specific product.

Does it account for stockout periods?

Yes. InvenPro detects periods where sales were zero due to stockout and adjusts the velocity calculation upward to avoid under-forecasting.
