The AI Forecasting Software for Accurate Demand Plans
The numi Forecasting Software supports demand planners and sales teams in accurately predicting demand across every level of detail, time horizon, and planning cycle.
The software combines diverse data sources such as order history, customer data, and marketing campaigns and leverages AI models to generate forecasts at SKU, customer, and location level.
Forecasts can be broken down to any level via the bill of materials (BOM), enabling systematic creation and sharing of raw material forecasts with suppliers.
