Demand management and forecasting

Know where the month will land, every morning

Sales month to date against forecast, the run rate for the rest of the month, stock cover and production against plan, by range and by item. Wyzestock emails the report as Excel after the morning update, and the Case Sales Predictor shows where each item is heading.

How it works

From yesterday's sales to today's decisions

The report is rebuilt after every load from your ERP.

1

Forecasts for every item

Holt-Winters seasonal forecasts from up to 36 months of history, with new, occasional and dormant items handled sensibly, and manual forecasts where you know better.

2

Measured against the day

Sales and open orders month to date are compared with the forecast and with where you should be for the working day of the month.

3

Sent to the team

The report goes out as an Excel file every morning to the people you choose, with a short list of what needs attention at the top.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which forecasting method does Wyzestock use?
Holt-Winters seasonal forecasting for items with at least a year of history; a flat or category-based forecast for newer items; an average for occasional sellers; and none for items that have stopped selling. Components are forecast from finished goods through the recipes.
Can we override the forecast?
Yes. A manual forecast per finished good per month replaces the calculated one, and is highlighted wherever it is used.
Who receives the morning email?
The people you add in Settings. They do not need a Wyzestock login.
What happens if the data does not load?
No report is sent that day, and Wyzestock support is told straight away so it can be fixed.
Does it follow our working days?
Yes. Weekends, public holidays and shutdowns are left out of the working days used for the run rate and the target.
