Two forecasting “experts,” one blended result
Our V2 engine combines:
Detail model (ML) – Learns recent sales patterns, product attributes, channel differences, calendar events & promos.
Trend/seasonality model – Finds longer-run growth + repeating seasonal cycles in your history.
We weight by horizon: near term leans on recent, data-rich signals; longer term leans on slower-moving trends & seasonality.
Multi-channel reconciliation
Item-by-channel forecasts are rolled up so channel totals = product totals = overall demand. This prevents double counting and gives one source of truth for purchasing.
Short vs long horizon behavior
Short windows: more responsive to recent velocity spikes, launches, promos.
Longer windows: smoother, anchored to underlying trend + seasonal patterns.
You’ll see this when switching forecast horizons in the product view.
Using the forecast in Rewize
Open a product → Forecast section:
Pick History (e.g., 30d, 3m, 1y) to define learning context shown on the chart.
Pick Horizon (30d–1y+) to see forward demand. Link them (chain icon) if you want symmetric windows.
Toggle Daily / Weekly / Monthly granularity.
Include/exclude sales channels to compare channel vs total demand.
Bundles & demand allocation
If bundle SKUs are mapped to components, bundle sales are decomposed into their parts so component demand and future reorders, reflect true consumption.
Data depth & ramp-up
We can produce useful forecasts with only a few months of data (advantage vs tools needing 2+ years). Accuracy improves as more history and channel context accumulate.
Improving forecast quality
Connect all active sales channels during onboarding.
Keep supplier confirmation + incoming dates current so downstream planning aligns with demand.
Map bundles early; unmapped kits hide component demand.
Avoid ignoring SKUs you actually replenish.
Troubleshooting perceived errors
If demand looks wrong, check history/horizon selections, channel filters, bundle mapping, and sync completeness before escalating. See Why is the demand inaccurate?
