An advanced demand planning and S&OP module for more granular forecasting, promotion planning, demand tracking, and cross-functional planning alignment.
See exactly what makes up your total demand. For every item, AGR gives you a clear breakdown of the forecasts, sales plans, promotions and orders contributing to the total, so you can understand where the numbers come from and plan with confidence.
Automated forecasting: AGR generates new forecasts every night, evaluating five forecasting model families and automatically selecting the best fit for each item and location.
Planner control: The Sales Plan starts with the statistical forecast but allows planners to make their own adjustments. These overrides are preserved, even when the underlying forecast is recalculated.
Complete demand visibility: Promotions, bill of materials (BOM), distribution demand and committed demand are factored into total demand alongside the Sales Plan. Open sales orders can be included always, never or conditionally, depending on the planning settings.
Non-stock item planning: Demand for special-order (non-stock) items is based on open sales orders, manual planning adjustments or a combination of both.
AGR uses a range of statistical forecasting models, including seasonal, trend-based, smoothed average and order-driven methods. By analysing up to 36 months of sales history, AGR automatically selects the model best suited to each item’s demand patterns. As those patterns change, AGR reassesses the models to ensure forecasts continue to reflect actual demand.
Best-fit, automatically
AGR tests a library of statistical forecasting techniques against each item’s sales history, automatically selecting the best fit for its demand patterns. This ensures forecasts are tailored to individual items without the need for manual model selection or adjustments.
Reselected as sales history changes
Built-in outlier detection
New SKUs and seasonal items with limited data points used to mean planning was a gut feeling. With AI sales history AGR finds up to 10 similar items within your own catalogue, weights their sales patterns, and builds a 2-year sales history to feed into the AGR forecast engine.
Forecast new items: Build forecasts from launch, even when an item has no sales history of its own.
Strengthen limited sales history: Enrich an item’s sales history with up to 25 months of additional data to improve seasonality detection.
Maintain full transparency: See which comparable items contribute to the AI-generated sales history and how each is weighted.
Adapt to actual sales: Automatically adjust the AI-generated sales history as the item begins selling, keeping it aligned with actual demand levels.
The Customers tab on each item card gives you a detailed view of sales history by customer and individual transaction. Explore the data using stacked bar, line or pie charts, with the top four customers displayed by default and the remaining customers grouped under Others.
Refine forecasts: Exclude individual transactions or a customer’s entire sales history to prevent unrepresentative demand from affecting future forecasts.
View customer channels: See customer channel information alongside individual transactions where channels have been mapped.
Manage exclusions centrally: Exclude a customer from the sales history of all items at once through Data Management.
AGR lets you forecast and plan demand separately for each sales channel, accounting for different buying patterns, sales plans and promotions. Each channel contributes to the item’s total demand, giving you a complete picture while keeping individual channel requirements visible.
Forecast by channel: Generate a separate statistical forecast for each item, location and sales channel, reflecting its unique demand patterns.
Plan with flexibility: Manage sales plans individually by channel or override them at the item level.
Target promotions: Plan promotional demand for specific channels without affecting forecasts across other channels.

Promotions
Plan an uplift on top of regular demand
Plan ahead for promotional demand to ensure the right stock is available at the right time and location. AGR automatically factors planned promotions into order proposals, helping you meet increased demand without unnecessary overstock. A complete audit trail on each item lets you track promotional plans and changes over time.
AGR gives planners the flexibility to adjust statistical forecasts using a specific quantity or a percentage increase or decrease. Use the forecast as a baseline and make adjustments to individual items or multiple items at once through the Sales Plan, ensuring demand plans reflect your business knowledge and expectations.
Zero sales isn’t read as zero demand
When an item was out of stock, AGR bridges that gap in the sales history with an estimate of the sales that could have occurred, so a stockout doesn’t quietly drag the forecast down.
While other tools may simply provide a forecast or recommendation, AGR shows you the reasoning behind it. From the forecasting models and underlying data to the individual components driving demand, you can see how the numbers are calculated. AI adds further intelligence where historical data alone is not enough, giving planners the transparency and control to make informed decisions with confidence.
Understand every forecast
See which statistical forecasting model AGR has selected for each item, while AI Item Analyzer explains the factors influencing the forecast in plain language. Understand the numbers behind your planning decisions, rather than simply accepting a recommendation.
AGR’s AI Sales History uses data from comparable items in your own catalogue to build a representative sales history for new items or those with limited historical data, helping improve forecasting and seasonality detection.
Item Advisor analyses each item’s demand patterns, inventory health and replenishment needs, highlighting potential issues and recommending actions. Get the insights of an experienced planner to help you understand what’s happening, identify what needs attention and decide what to do next.
