Demand Forecasting

Inventory Forecasting / Predictive Ordering for DSD

DSD distributors (direct store delivery) need products in front of consumers. Sounds simple, yet a trip to your local market will reveal at least some empty shelf space where there should be products. Empty store shelves are a sign of lost sales and poor planning. Running out of supplies when business is booming, or inadequate truck stock during a promo may cost you a customer as well as lost revenue. These situations can be avoided with Demand Forecasting by bMobile Route Software.

When using a cluster of spreadsheets and old sales figures proves inadequate for keeping  your product moving smoothly, it's time for automated business intelegence.  Demand Forecasting by bMobile uses a matrix of past, present and future data to determine future needs.  Get better control of truck loads, shelf stock and make better decisions on supply purchases. It all begins with proper Demand Forecasting.

Demand Accuracy
 Inventory forecasting takes more than looking backward.. The bMobile Demand Forecasting formula for inventory control uses data from history, today and looks into the future. Future promotions, holidays, seasonal trends, recent sales  and a host of other data is required for reliable DSD inventory forecasting. This robust forecasting module allows production supplies to be on hand when they're needed and helps prevent costly overstocking and spoilage.
