Model the impact of demand changes, supply disruptions, and policy adjustments before they happen. Compare scenarios side-by-side to make data-driven decisions.
This feature is part of the ForecastWorx connected planning platform — an AI-native system where demand forecasting, inventory optimization, replenishment automation, and supply planning share the same data layer and work together in real time. Every capability described below is designed to reduce manual effort, improve decision quality, and deliver measurable business outcomes for planning teams across retail, wholesale, CPG, and manufacturing.
Perspectives
Model policy changes and demand shifts to understand their impact before they hit your inventory.
Model what happens if demand increases 20%, a key customer churns, or a new product launches faster than expected.
Simulate supplier disruptions, lead time increases, capacity constraints, and their cascading inventory impact.
Test the impact of service level changes, safety stock adjustments, or new inventory policies before implementation.
Compare multiple scenarios side-by-side across inventory, service, cost, and working capital metrics.
Share scenarios with stakeholders for S&OP review and strategic planning discussions.
Save and reuse scenario templates for recurring planning cycles and common what-if questions.
Step 01
Start from the current plan and define the changes you want to model — demand shifts, supply changes, or policy adjustments.
Step 02
ForecastWorx calculates the cascading impact across forecasts, inventory, replenishment, and service levels.
Step 03
View scenarios side-by-side with visual diff highlighting across key metrics.
Step 04
Select the preferred scenario and promote it to the working plan for execution.
Step 05
Monitor actual outcomes against your scenario assumptions to improve future modeling.
There is no limit. Create as many scenarios as needed to explore different planning options.
Most scenarios are calculated in seconds, even for large item-location matrices, because ForecastWorx uses pre-computed models and incremental recalculation.
Yes. Scenarios can be shared with specific team members or presented in S&OP review meetings with full comparison views.
