The problem

“We buy for the festive season on gut feel — and get it wrong both ways.”
The problem this demo is built to solveLive demo · sample data

What is demand forecasting software?

Demand forecasting software uses your past sales, prices, promotions and calendar — including Indian festivals and wedding seasons — to predict how much of each item will sell in each week and location, with a likely range. It then suggests how much to order or produce, and tracks how accurate it was.

Built around your workflow: this demo is a starting point — screens, fields, rules and integrations are made to fit your business.

How the system works · how we measured

The demo shows a weekly forecast with its likely range and festival effects; numbers are sample data, and a built model is judged on its accuracy against your actual sales.

01 · The problem

What problem does it solve?

A distributor of packaged foods buys for the festive season in September, from memory and a spreadsheet of last year’s totals. Dry-fruit boxes run out the week before Diwali; ghee piles up afterwards.

Every year the same argument repeats: too little of what sold, too much of what didn’t, and cash locked in stock until March.

  • Festive stock-outs

    The best week of the year, with empty shelves.

  • Post-season pile-ups

    Cash locked in slow stock.

  • Panic purchases

    Rush orders at higher prices.

  • No learning

    Last year’s mistakes repeated.

02 · The solution

How does Sales & Demand Forecasting fix it?

  1. 01

    Learn from your history

    Weekly sales per item and location, with prices, promotions and stock-outs taken into account.

  2. 02

    Know the calendar

    Diwali, Holi, Eid, weddings and school seasons are modelled from how your own sales moved in past years.

  3. 03

    A range, not a single number

    Each forecast comes with a likely range, so safety stock follows the uncertainty.

  4. 04

    From forecast to order

    Demand over the supplier’s lead time, plus safety, minus stock in hand — a suggested order, ready to approve.

FAQ

Sales & Demand Forecasting FAQ

All questions →
What is demand forecasting software?

Demand forecasting software uses your past sales, prices, promotions and calendar — including Indian festivals and wedding seasons — to predict how much of each item will sell in each week and location, with a likely range. It then suggests how much to order or produce, and tracks how accurate it was.

How much history do we need?

Two years of weekly sales is ideal, because festivals move; one year works for a first version, with accuracy improving as more data comes in.

Does it know Indian festivals?

Yes. Festival and season effects are learned from how your own sales moved around Diwali, Holi, Eid, weddings and school seasons in past years — the dates shift every year.

How accurate will it be?

That depends on your products and data. We measure it from the start — forecast against actual, by item — and only switch buying over to the forecast when it beats your current method.

Does it place orders by itself?

No. It suggests orders with the reasoning; a person approves them, and the approved order can go to the supplier on WhatsApp.

Is the demo a real model?

No — it uses sample numbers to show how the forecast, festival effects and what-ifs work. A built model is trained on your sales.
