Release Notes for August 2026
How it works
Imagine StockTrim forecasts demand for 1,000 units of a finished product.
You have an upcoming order or promotion and know you’ll need an additional 500 units, so you add that custom demand to the forecast.
If each finished product requires:
• 2 × Component A
• 1 × Component B
• 0.5 kg × Ingredient C
StockTrim automatically calculates the additional component demand required to manufacture those extra 500 units.
That updated demand then flows through to your inventory planning, helping ensure you order enough of the components and ingredients needed to meet your adjusted production requirements.
Shared components are handled intelligently
This gets particularly powerful when the same component is used across multiple manufactured products.
For example, Component A might be used in five different finished products.
If you increase the demand for just one of those products, StockTrim adjusts only the portion of Component A's demand that comes from that product.
The demand generated by the other four products remains unchanged.
So even with complex Bills of Materials and components shared across multiple products, StockTrim can accurately calculate how a change to one finished product should affect your overall component requirements without distorting the demand elsewhere in your manufacturing operation.
Add custom demand once and let it flow through your BOM
There are plenty of reasons you might want to adjust a forecast:
• An upcoming customer order
• A promotion or marketing campaign
• A new contract
• A planned production run
• A product launch
• Any other known increase or decrease in future demand
Instead of updating the finished product and then manually working out what that means for every ingredient or component, you can make the adjustment once.
StockTrim takes care of the downstream calculations.
Connect finished-product planning with component purchasing
Bill of Materials Filter Down creates a direct link between:
Forecast demand + custom demand → production requirements → component demand → purchasing requirements
For manufacturers, this means your component planning can stay aligned with changes you make to your finished-product forecasts.
If you decide you need to manufacture more or less of something, StockTrim helps make sure your purchasing plan reflects what you'll actually need to build it.
It’s a simple change that makes demand planning considerably more powerful for manufacturers, particularly those managing complex Bills of Materials and components shared across multiple products.
