Demand Forecasting

Predict demand before it hits your shelves — with continuous learning from real retail signals.

Overview

Nexusphere’s Demand Forecasting module continuously learns from real-time order, inventory, promotion, and fulfillment events to predict demand at the SKU × location × channel level.

Forecasts update automatically as conditions change — promotions launch, supply constraints appear, or demand shifts unexpectedly.
