Why Inventory Forecasting for e-Commerce and Online Retailers?

For businesses and any online e-commerce company to achieve best-in-class inventory management, they must maintain the right amount of inventory to meet anticipated inventory demand effectively. Companies and online retailers unable to maintain this delicate balance end up carrying too much inventory and spending further money on expedited or emergency shipments and unplanned inventory replenishment.

Because of these issues, companies and online retailers are constantly trying to improve inventory management through demand planning and inventory forecasting models that try to predict the “right” balance of inventory between too much and stock outs.

Unfortunately for most e-commerce and retail companies, this process relies on excel spreadsheets and manual inputs from sales teams to really anyone merely guessing. The manual nature of this process results in not only inaccurate inventory forecasts with poor demand planning strategies but inventory forecasts that aren’t timely.

The process itself can be costly, consuming both time and resources that could be better spent understanding how to leverage the results. That is before you even start to think about the impact on your business with poor inventory forecasting and demand planning!
