Product sustitution
Product sustitution
This feature enables the concatenation and harmonization of historical data from discontinued products with data from new product launches, ensuring that the time series are consistent and complete. By merging these data sets, demand patterns and seasonalities can be identified, which might otherwise be overlooked. This not only enhances demand forecast accuracy but also enables improved inventory planning and optimization of supply strategies.
