Demand Planning

Inventory forecasting software that respects lead time reality.

Forecast demand, plan reorders, and avoid stockouts when lead times are long, inbound risk is real, and landed cost changes keep moving the margin picture.

Forecasting breaks when data is disconnected

Many forecasting tools assume short lead times and stable supply. Import and distribution teams deal with variable lead times, container cycles, supplier changes, and landed cost movement. Forecasting has to incorporate real inbound visibility and replenishment risk.

If purchasing, inventory, and shipments live in separate tools, your forecast is always late. You discover risk after stockouts or overstock rather than early enough to change the plan.

FlowIQ connects those datasets so forecasting becomes operational, not theoretical.

What to measure

  • Weeks of coverage by SKU and warehouse.
  • Lead time risk and inbound pipeline visibility.
  • Service level targets without carrying excess stock.
  • Margin-aware planning so the right SKUs get reordered first.
