COMING SOON · ALLOCATIONS

Every unit where it sells best

AI-powered inventory allocation that distributes the right product to the right location in the right quantity — driven by demand forecasts, not averages.

Allocations in ForecastWorx replaces pro-rata distribution and static allocation ratios with demand-driven, attribute-level allocation decisions. The module uses localized demand forecasts, store selling profiles, and real-time sell-through data to determine how much of each product — by size, color, and style — should go to each location. Whether it's initial pre-season allocation or in-season replenishment allocation, every unit is placed where it has the highest probability of selling at full price.

Why demand-driven allocation beats pro-rata

Traditional allocation distributes inventory proportionally based on historical sales shares — treating all locations the same. But demand varies by location, and last season's performance doesn't predict this season's opportunity.

PRO-RATA ALLOCATION

  • Same ratios applied to every product
  • Based on last season, not current demand
  • Broken size runs across multiple stores
  • No visibility into store-level need vs. supply

FORECASTWORX ALLOCATIONS

  • Demand-driven quantities per location and attribute
  • Forward-looking forecasts adjusted for local trends
  • Size profiles optimized per store cluster
  • Real-time rebalancing as sell-through data arrives

What's coming

These capabilities are actively being built. Join the waitlist to help shape Allocations and get early access.

Location-Level Allocation

Allocate inventory to stores, warehouses, and channels based on localized demand forecasts — not averages — so each location gets the right quantity at the right time.

Size & Attribute Optimization

Optimize allocation by size, color, style, and other attributes using store-level selling profiles — eliminating broken size runs and reducing markdowns.

Initial & Replenishment Allocation

Support both initial pre-season allocations and in-season replenishment allocations from a single workflow, keeping inventory flowing where it sells fastest.

Constraint-Aware Distribution

Factor in store capacity, minimum display quantities, pack sizes, and vendor minimums — so allocations are executable, not just theoretically optimal.

Real-Time Rebalancing

Continuously monitor sell-through by location and recommend transfers or reallocation when inventory is stuck in low-velocity locations and needed elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

When will Allocations be available?

Allocations is currently in active development. Early-access preview will be available to existing ForecastWorx customers first. Contact us or join the waitlist to be among the first to try it.

How does this differ from ERP-based allocation?

ERP allocation modules typically distribute inventory using fixed ratios or historical sales shares. ForecastWorx Allocations uses AI-powered demand forecasts at the store-attribute level, factoring in local trends, seasonality, and real-time sell-through to allocate dynamically — so every unit goes where it has the highest probability of selling at full price.

Can I use Allocations without other ForecastWorx modules?

Yes. Every ForecastWorx module works independently. You can use Allocations as a standalone tool alongside your existing planning systems, then expand to demand forecasting, assortment planning, or replenishment when ready.

Does it support omnichannel allocation?

Absolutely. ForecastWorx Allocations supports distribution across stores, e-commerce fulfillment centers, wholesale accounts, and marketplace channels — all from a single allocation workflow with channel-specific demand signals.
