About Forthcast
Forthcast is an AI-powered demand forecasting and inventory planning app for Shopify merchants. It analyzes your store's sales history to forecast demand at the SKU level up to twelve months ahead, so you order the right quantity at the right time and prevent both stockouts and overstock.
Core features: SKU-level demand forecasts with seasonal and trend analysis; smart reorder alerts and reorder-point calculations; automated purchase order creation; lost-sales tracking that quantifies the revenue past stockouts cost you; demand anomaly detection; bundle and kit support without double-counting stock; customizable safety stock; multi-location inventory; and forecast accuracy reporting.
Forthcast syncs in real time with Shopify and integrates with Amazon, QuickBooks, Xero, and Notion. It is built for growing stores with large, active catalogs that have outgrown spreadsheet-based planning.
