Implemented Inventory / Sales Demand forecasting
DEAR Support
Inventory demand forecasting Based on historical sales data, have a re-order point (when to order) and a quantity order point (How much to order)
Be able to integrate with http://www.lokad.com/salescast-sales-forecasting-software
Or at least export TSV files matching Lokad criteria to be able to import into Lokad for demand forecasting
Before Dear get to including a forecasting tool, could I suggest that the Re Order function be altered to have a minimum stock level and a MAXIMUM stock level.
As for a forecasting tool, If I can prepare spreadsheets that allow me and my staff to see stock availability, average stock turn, stock on purchase order and when it's estimated to land, I recon Developers at Dear should be well placed to include a tool with little or no added cost.

We currently use other software to maintain a forecast and plan production runs. We then enter into production in DEAR. Being able to modify forecasts and input production into DEAR without having duplicate entries would be a huge plus for us. The functionality could be impressive.

Dear - can you please link the inventory / sales demand forecasting?
Our business does not need this kind of forecasting at this time.
Some simple sales forecasting and planning module must be, as well as visualization of planned purchase orders vs sales forecast for quick identification of possible stock-out/ overstock.
Currently I can see only quantities on order with dates when goods should arrive per SKU. When you are analyzing stock levels vs planned orders vs current sales it is a real headache to open each SKU, check quantities and dates when product will arrive and to align this info with sales trends/forecast....
I don't see this on the roadmap ???
Am I blind, or is it not on there...
Hello,
We are pleased to inform that we are planning to add "Inventory / Sales Demand forecasting" to the Development roadmap. Please check the Development roadmap periodically for updates.
Sincerely,
The DEAR Team
