"Forthcast’s Stock Health Dashboard Makes Inventory Forecasting Effortless"

5/5

What do you like best about Forthcast?

I work with Forthcast at my organisation which is an AI-based demand forecasting software that helps in retail & ecom supply chains. Before implementing the new optimized system, we used to rely on a spreadsheet system. Now, non Forthcast your stock count data from your Shopify, Amazon, and TikTok is one view.

Forthcast "Stock Health" dashboard is the most effective feature for me. This screen categorizes our entire catalog into useful groups like SKUs soon to stockout, SKUs in danger, slow-movers, etc. It's really easy for the tool to handle my SKU quantity. The auto-reorder alerts are now live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forthcast?

While this tool is nice, we would benefit from some more reporting export, When I have to report our inventory health to executive leadership, I need to export the data and build the charts and tables for them in Excel. It would be great if we could directly export as a presentation-ready PDF or PowerPoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Forthcast solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to Forthcast, every division compiled demand in isolation on different fractured spreadsheets. There were always bottlenecks there, with much human error arising. Forthcast has provided us with a single source of truth. During our first quarter of usage, we saw around a 40% reduction in stockouts, and around 25% less excess inventory, along with better overall cover. My team is now saving around 5–6 hours of manual planning a week due to the POs getting automated. We can now spend additional time negotiating with key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
