## Comprehensive monthly forecasts and configurable demand modelling

We’ve listened to feedback from our users and now come up with a brand new forecast engine plus special features to help you see your forecasts and plan your supplier orders in advance even easier than before.

## See your monthly sales and monthly forecasts in one simple graph

Easily see your previous six months sales and your [predicted sales for the next six months](https://www.stocktrim.com/blog/demand-forecasting).

![demand analysis-1](https://www.stocktrim.com/hs-fs/hubfs/demand%20analysis-1.png?width=1220&name=demand%20analysis-1.png)

## Override the system predictions with your own forecasts

Easily set your own forecasts manually when you know you’ll have different demand than historical trends. Has a product been replaced by another one, and no longer needed? Or are you expecting a large order from your main customer in 3 months time? No problem, just enter it in then the system will recalculate your demand and optimal order quantities in real time.

## Select your forecast options per SKU

Configure the following options for your forecasts to ensure they are as real and practical as possible:

- Seasonality – check whether seasonality should apply to future forecasts for any product. If so, seasonality is automatically applied from your sales history.
- Growth p/a – if an item’s demand is expected to grow or decline over the next 12 months, enter this in to recalculate the forecasts
- Sales history period – which sales history period is the best predictor for the future? If demand has changed recently, for example, only the last 3 months could be the best predictor of the future. If seasonality is important, a whole 24 months might be relevant to gauge seasonal trends
- Forecast model – select between linear, logarithmic (i.e: an increase that levels off), or quadratic trends (i.e: an increase followed by a decrease, or vice versa), or a rolling average. The system also has an auto demand model based on AI to automatically select the most relevant model.

![demand planning analysis-1](https://www.stocktrim.com/hs-fs/hubfs/demand%20planning%20analysis-1.png?width=1650&name=demand%20planning%20analysis-1.png)

Set each option to have your forecasts, optimal reorder point, optimal order quantities, and replenishment due dates recalculated in real time.

## Better sales history visibility

See a tabular breakdown of your sales history, with filter dates, and easily see which sales were made at which location.

For items used in a manufacturing process you can also see the sales of their related finished goods & relevant [BOM quantities](https://www.stocktrim.com/blog/bill-of-materials-drill-down).

You can also exclude items from the demand analysis, so that they won’t be taken into account for future forecasts. Ideal if you have had one-off sales orders that won’t be made again.

## ![demand history analysis](https://www.stocktrim.com/hs-fs/hubfs/demand%20history%20analysis.png?width=1647&name=demand%20history%20analysis.png)

## See Revenue Forecasts

Your sales and accounts teams will love this. See how much projected revenue you’re forecasted to make over the next 6 months for each product.

Combined with the existing ‘Fastest Moving’ and ‘Most Valuable’ [features already available in StockTrim ](https://www.stocktrim.com/?goto=features)you’ll be able to forecast which of your items will bring in the most revenue.

Features Are Available from Monday 21st October 2019
