Predictive Demand Forecasting

Stop guessing. Our automated demand forecaster analyzes your historical sales data to predict exactly what stock you need and when. Turn inventory from a liability into an asset.

The Science of Stock

Effective demand and forecasting isn't about crystal balls; it's about calculus. We move beyond simple "days of inventory" to calculate dynamic metrics that adjust to your growth speed.

Reorder Point (ROP)

(Lead Time × Daily Avg. Usage) + Safety Stock

We calculate exactly when to place a PO so that new stock arrives exactly as old stock hits zero (plus a safety buffer).

Safety Stock

(Max Daily Usage × Max Lead Time) - (Avg Daily Usage × Avg Lead Time)

The buffer needed to survive unexpected spikes or shipping delays without stocking out.

Why Excel Fails

  • Static DataExcel doesn't know your sales doubled yesterday. Our live API does.
  • Seasonality BlindnessSimple averages miss the fact that you sell 4x more in November.
  • Lead Time VarianceSuppliers are rarely consistent. We track their actual performance vs. promised time.

Case Study: The Cost of a Stockout

Consider "Brand X." They sell a hero product for $50. They average 20 sales/day. They forgot to account for Chinese New Year factory closures.

The Result

  • • Out of stock for 30 days
  • • 600 Orders Lost
  • $30,000 Revenue Vanished
  • • Amazon BSR (Best Seller Rank) Tanked

The 3PLEX Fix

  • • System flagged "CNY Closure" risk 60 days out
  • • Auto-generated PO for extra 2 months stock
  • 0 Days Out of Stock
  • • Competitors stocked out, Brand X took market share
