App4IBP: Demand Forecasting & Inventory Planning for Manufacturers

Additional Details

The planning problem App4IBP removes Most manufacturers run two forecasts that never meet — a statistical read of history and a gut feel on the pipeline — then let static ERP reorder points drive the buys. The result: stockouts and excess at the same time. The worst hides in shared components — parts used across many products, where demand converges but no single forecast shows the total. What App4IBP does App4IBP builds one demand forecast and keeps it current on its own — a statistical baseline from 24 months of order history, fused with your live Salesforce pipeline, exploded through your multi-level BOMs. It nets that demand against on-hand inventory, allocations, open POs, and open work orders to show each part's true position: a Critical view (buy or build before you stock out) and an Excess view (what's overstocked). No spreadsheets, no manual entry. 100% native to Salesforce, no-code.
