Inventory Forecasting Software
Let us show you how Extensiv can help you calculate current demand, generate purchase orders, support replenishment, and make buying decisions.
What is inventory forecasting software?
Inventory forecasting software plays a pivotal role in ensuring your company manages its stock as efficiently as possible to reduce overhead costs and meet customer demand. Leveraging forecasting software is the best way for ecommerce retailers to find a balance between cutting down on stock levels and warehousing fees, while also maintaining high enough inventory levels to prevent excess stock or stockout events.
With innovative and accurate forecasting tools and predictive analytics, brands can optimize the replenishment process via accurate demand predictions — which ultimately streamlines inventory control (and inventory management as a whole).
How inventory forecasting software helps to grow your business
Since stockouts and overstocks can significantly hurt your company’s bottom line and impact the quality of customer service, it’s vital to have a strategy in place to avoid these situations and strengthen customer satisfaction at the same time.
Demand forecasting software does exactly that by delivering precise predictions for anticipated future demand. These systems make sure you always have the right amount of available SKUs, which translates to continued growth and profitability for your brand.

- Show a percentage of your available inventory to prevent overselling.

Advanced notifications
Extensiv calculates the estimated runout date of a product based on current demand to alert you when it's time to place a purchase order for replenishment. Extensiv also has automated alerts that are triggered when a product is at or below the minimum number needed to remain in stock based on demand. Establishing associations between the product a merchant sells and the supplier the merchant buys from, key metrics like lead times, minimum order quantities, and other important procurement details can be accounted for in reorder recommendations and alerts.

Data-driven replenishment: Auto POs
Keep your products stocked, with constantly updating values like sales velocity, reorder quantities, and forecasted reorder dates. We’ll issue POs automatically based on current sales velocity, lead times, and seasonality, all in real-time.
Extensiv generates replenishment recommendations that take into account sales velocity, vendor lead time, anticipated growth percentage, and estimated runout dates by automatically creating purchase orders when it's time to reorder products.

Fast purchase order creation
For scenarios or products where auto-POs cannot be leveraged, Extensiv offers a streamlined process for quickly creating manual POs as well as relying on an underlying logic that is usually provided as part of your setup process.

Identify overstocked SKUs
Looking for overhead relief? Avoid tying cash up into inventory that is not moving, free up staff time dedicated to managing inventory that is not moving, and clear up shelf space for product that does move/drive profit.
Extensiv's Analytics Dashboard identifies opportunities to cut dead weight inventory costs by making liquidation recommendations for slow-moving SKUs with high inventory values sitting at customer's warehouses.

Periodical comparisons
Need a visual representation of which products are consistently contributing to your profitability? How about which products are hurting profitability?
In Extensiv, you can see year-over-year growth per product to compare and contrast SKU performance (both quantity and revenue) across selected sales channels. A key resource in deciding which products to invest in (R&D, Marketing, variant introduction, etc) and which products to consider phasing out.

Trend Performance
Stockouts, overordering, purchasing, overhead all hurt your business. Extensiv's Inventory Module displays On Hand and In Transit inventory per SKU for selected warehouses (and in aggregate) in an easily viewable format. The Critical Levels report provides a list of SKUs per warehouse that need to be reordered based on current demand.
- Real-time visibility on inventory availability, in-transit inventory, and projected run-out + re-order dates.
- A centralized & consolidated intelligence hub that provides key intelligence even as demand fluctuates
