Demand forecasts that merchandising and the warehouse both use

DTC and marketplace retailer

18%

lower stockout rate on hero SKUs

We replaced a spreadsheet forecast with a weekly demand model, channel-aware inventory views, and an exception process for inbound misses.

The problem

Merchandising planned in one sheet, the 3PL in another, and finance in a third. Promotions surprised the warehouse. Hero SKUs stocked out while slow movers piled up.

The approach

  1. 01Unified storefront, ads, and 3PL data into a weekly SKU-level model
  2. 02Built a forecast with promotion and seasonality flags merchandisers could override
  3. 03Automated inbound exception alerts when POs slipped
  4. 04Published one inventory and sell-through view for ops, merch, and finance

The outcome

Stockouts on hero SKUs fell 18% over two peak periods. Weekly planning meetings used one pack instead of three. Finance stopped reconciling three versions of what the team thought it would sell.
