Your purchasing rules, not a black-box formula

Every supplier and product line behaves differently. Put your exact business rules in.

“Hold six weeks of safety stock for overseas container suppliers and two weeks for local vendors.”

“Exclude one-off wholesale distributor bulk orders so they do not artificially distort our seasonal velocity.”

“A sea container is arriving on the 14th; deduct incoming container inventory before triggering reorders.”

“Group weekly reorder recommendations by supplier MOQ and email the buy list every Monday at 6:00 AM.”

Why pay $1,200/mo for traditional inventory software?

Standalone forecasting tools penalize you for growing your catalog with per-SKU fees and hide their logic in black boxes. DemandPlanner gives your whole team transparent reordering with free reporting.
