ForesightAI sales forecast graph
The sales forecast graph shows ForesightAI’s demand predictions for up to the next 24 months, alongside the historical data used for forecasting, your projected inventory levels, and your safety stock threshold.
Use the graph to verify forecast accuracy, identify demand peaks, spot when your inventory is at risk of a stockout, and make manual adjustments to your forecast.

The graph combines four data series:
Sales history — your historical monthly sales
Sales forecast — ForesightAI's predicted monthly sales, based on your sales history
Inventory forecast — your projected inventory level, calculated by ForesightAI from your sales forecast, purchase orders, and current on-hand and in-transit stock
Safety stock — the buffer stock level ForesightAI recommends you maintain to absorb uncertainty in supplier lead times and forecast accuracy
