Better Promo Planning
Overview
The client is a growing digital retailer balancing seasonal promotions, fast-moving inventory, and multiple sales channels. Historical planning methods were too slow to keep pace with shifting demand, resulting in stockouts on high-performing products and excess inventory elsewhere.
We created a predictive forecasting workflow that gave planners earlier visibility into expected demand patterns. With clearer scenario modeling and more structured planning outputs, the team improved stock decisions, reduced avoidable inventory imbalance, and supported more coordinated promotion execution.
Challenges
The retailer was making inventory decisions across fast-changing demand patterns and uneven channel performance.
Volatile Demand
Promotions, seasonality, and marketplace traffic caused rapid swings in product demand.
Reactive Planning
Teams adjusted inventory after trends had already shifted, not before.
Channel Fragmentation
Sales signals were spread across multiple systems and not consistently modeled together.

We built a forecasting workflow that combined historical sales, promotions, and channel behavior into planning-ready predictions.
