Does a past stockout distort the forecast?
No. Intuendi checks stock levels every day, so the zero sales of a period without stock are not read as zero demand.
How does Intuendi measure the cost of a stockout?
The understock report gives each product at risk an expected loss in money, with the days of stock left and what is already on the way.
Can Intuendi plan for a growth target?
Yes. Growth factors translate revenue targets into units for each product, and the forecast, stock targets and suggested orders follow.
Can I see the effect of a stock policy before ordering?
Yes. When you change service level or coverage, Intuendi shows the expected inventory, so you know the stock you would hold before any order is placed.
How does Intuendi handle promotions and events?
Past promotions are cleaned from the sales history, and planned promotions and events are added to the forecast for the periods they run.

No. It prepares the numbers each review needs, so the meeting can focus on decisions. The process and the decisions stay with your team.
