Demand forecasting predicts how much of each product customers will buy, where and when, so you can plan purchasing, production and stock. Mentana generates AI demand forecasts for every SKU and location from your sales history and thousands of external signals, and refreshes them automatically.
A demand forecast predicts the most likely outcome. Scenario planning tests alternatives to it, such as a hotter summer or a smaller promo budget. In Mentana, the demand forecast is the baseline every scenario starts from, so both use the same data and drivers.
Mentana combines your sales history from your ERP and POS with thousands of external demand signals, such as weather, holidays, local events, promotions, pricing and economic indicators. For each forecast, Mentana shows how much each signal contributed, so planners can see what is driving the number.
Mentana backtests every forecast against actual sales and reports its accuracy, so you can see how well it has performed before you rely on it. Forecasts also include prediction ranges, showing how confident Mentana is in each number rather than presenting a single figure as certain.
