Harness the power of top-down demand management to reduce volatility. Our new Group Forecasting feature bridges the gap between aggregate business goals and granular inventory execution.
This feature is part of the ForecastWorx connected planning platform — an AI-native system where demand forecasting, inventory optimization, replenishment automation, and supply planning share the same data layer and work together in real time. Every capability described below is designed to reduce manual effort, improve decision quality, and deliver measurable business outcomes for planning teams across retail, wholesale, CPG, and manufacturing.
Group your items by shared attributes like brand, color, or material to generate forecasts across logical product categories.
Plan across your enterprise structure from department down to SKU, maintaining total visibility at every tier.
Intelligently distribute high-level demand forecasts down to individual item-location combinations based on historical sales ratios.
Easily toggle between different views to view your forecast data in the way that makes the most sense for your business.
Inject business growth assumptions at the group level and let the system propagate the impact down to the product level.
Ensure your replenishment engine is always working off of reconciled, top-down adjusted demand signals.
Step 01
Configure your product attributes and reporting structures to match how your team manages business categories.
Step 02
Generate high-level demand plans based on consolidated historical data or manual strategic inputs.
Step 03
Apply adjustments to group-level demand forecasts, reflecting seasonal trends or strategic business shifts.
Step 04
The system automatically disaggregates the group forecast into item-location requirements for execution.
It reduces forecast noise and variability, which is often found at the individual item-location level, allowing for more stable replenishment plans.
Yes, ForecastWorx allows for overrides, though top-down forecasting ensures that all SKU changes remain reconciled with group-level goals.
Allocation is based on historical demand patterns, sales velocity, and current inventory positioning to ensure optimal distribution.
Yes, our flexible data mapping allows you to import or define your existing product category and hierarchy structures.
Absolutely. You can choose to forecast by attribute, such as material type or collection, instead of traditional category trees.
See how ForecastWorx can help you align your high-level strategy with granular item-level execution.
