Demand forecasting
Forecast demand with clarity so inventory, production, and revenue plans stay aligned.
Challenge
Most small teams do demand planning in spreadsheets.
As the business grows, spreadsheets become harder to manage. Data lives in multiple files, assumptions are not documented, and testing different scenarios means copying sheets again and again. Forecasts exist, but they are difficult to explain, reuse, or improve over time.
Teams want a simple way to experiment with demand forecasts without committing to heavy planning software.
Effimal's approach
Effimal provides a lightweight environment to run demand forecasting on your own data.
You upload your spreadsheets as datasets, map them to the demand forecasting engine, and run forecasts using configurable parameters. This allows teams to experiment faster, compare scenarios easily, and work with clearer outputs that are easier to review, share, and reuse without rebuilding models from scratch.
