What is Forecasting in Modern Commerce?

Forecasting in modern commerce is often misunderstood. Many assume it’s a magic wand that produces perfect predictions, but in reality, forecasting is only as good as the data behind it. Without accurate, contextualized, and complete data, it becomes impossible to generate reliable forecasts.

The Pitfalls of Traditional Forecasting

Many businesses still rely on outdated methods like Excel or Google Sheets for forecasting. These simplistic approaches lack the sophistication needed to analyze trends effectively, leading to poor accuracy and costly inventory mistakes. The result? Businesses either:

1. Stock out of best-sellers at critical moments, losing sales opportunities
2. Overstock slow-moving products, tying up capital in unsellable inventory
3. Make decisions without full visibility, leading to inefficient supply chain management
