Forecasts in AUTOMAT aren’t abstract charts — they’re practical, item-level insights that help you plan stock, staffing, prep, purchasing, and replenishment with confidence.
You see what’s likely to happen, confirm or adjust inputs, and act directly from the same screen.
AUTOMAT helps you spot upcoming demand before it hits your shelves, kitchen, or warehouse.
Each item shows trend, seasonality, and expected quantities for upcoming periods, all in a compact, scannable format.
Stock and inventory planning
Staffing or shift planning
Wholesale order cycle planning
Multi-location forecasting at scale
Each forecast exposes how it behaves: trend, seasonality, uplift, patterns, and confidence.
This transparency makes forecasting feel like a tool you control, not a mystery you’re expected to trust blindly.
Item managers who want predictability
Operators who dislike “AI magic”
Teams validating assumptions or exceptions
You’re not locked into a model’s opinion.
Override assumptions like replacement rates, min/max levels, or quantities, then re-run the forecast to see the impact instantly.
It keeps human judgment in the center of planning — exactly where it belongs.
Adjusting for events, promotions, holidays
Reacting to supplier constraints or shortages
Adapting to unusual local patterns
Teams who prefer to sanity-check models
Forecasts in AUTOMAT are paired with real planning values:
recommended orders, prep quantities, risk flags, and next-period requirements.
This makes forecasting useful, not just informative.

Prep lists
DC-to-store distribution
