Building a demand forecasting system for a manufacturing plant managing 10,000+ SKUs.
A precision manufacturing company was drowning in inventory complexity. With over 10,000 SKUs, seasonal patterns, and long supplier lead times, their spreadsheet-based forecasting was creating costly stockouts and overstock situations.
We built an intelligent forecasting platform that learns the unique demand patterns of each SKU while understanding cross-product relationships.
Analyzed 5 years of historical data to identify seasonality, trends, and hidden correlations between product categories.
Developed a multi-level model that forecasts at SKU, category, and plant level—ensuring consistency across all aggregation levels.
Built early warning systems to flag unusual demand signals, supplier risks, and potential stockout situations weeks in advance.
Created an intuitive dashboard letting planners override, adjust, and add market intelligence to automated forecasts.
"We went from firefighting stockouts daily to proactively managing our inventory. The system paid for itself in the first quarter."
Let's explore how we can bring clarity to your operations.
