The Demand Forecasting module predicts what your customers will buy, whether it be in the next season or year. It matches supply with demand and warns the user in advance when there will be a shortage of either raw material or finished goods, according to what is required to fulfill their orders. Together with Jesta’s Material Resource Planning (MRP) module, it accurately tracks when incoming orders will be received and compares to shipping dates, effectively decreasing the time inventory spends sitting in your warehouse.
Thanks to sophisticated business intelligence capabilities, you can analyze your customer’s purchase history, determine patterns and predict future demand. Additionally, you can provide value-added services such as advising them of new products that can be added to their usual orders or prepare inventory for predicted orders in advance to decrease delivery time.
