Not all products are equal: Demand forecast KPIs are automatically generated and sorted to quickly identify critical items for your supply chain and business. Operational follow-up dashboards are instantly generated to ease your S&OP process and business reviews. Our technology is supported by the publication of several books from author and consultant Nicolas Vandeput: "Data Science for Supply Chain Forecasting" and "Inventory Optimization: Models and Simulations"

SKU Science Review for Aftermarket Parts

Overall very satisfied. Delivered an accurate forecast in an easy to use format as promised. Incredibly pleased with the ability to pinpoint high value items that were difficult to forecast items and deserved a second look. The training and customer support were absolutely fantastic.

Pros

Ease of use. Accuracy of forecasts. Relevant metrics that help make efficient use of forecasters time.

Cons

With a high number of forecasts (100k+), navigating to specific SKU forecast took some time to figure out.

Powerful and easy to use tool that provides the user with multiple options and real-time...

We were pleased with the assistance in setting up the software to get us on track with our project. The user support was timely when required and the models included within the software are contemporary with additional value added features like ABCXYZ analysis and real-time forecast KPIs.

Pros

Easy set-up process and data wizard and good visualization when switching between models. Helpful reporting tools and fast between selections and screens.

Cons

Our requirements were business specific, therefore anything that was missing was requested for future development.

Response from SKU Science

Thank you Terry for your review of SKU Science and for highlighting the ease of the setup process and reporting tools.

Budgets - Sku Science

Sku Science has dramatically improved the efficiency and productivity at budget time.

Pros

We use Sku Science to support the budget process. The software enables us to quickly review/change at sku, customer and channel levels. We can also import machine learning forecast as the base forecast which greatly helps in reviewing cycle, pattern and trends.
The support from Sku Science is first class and despite us being in Australia this did not effect the performance.

Cons

The reporting side is certainly the weakest part of the software. Instead of downloading into excel it should be made available to be reviewed in the tool.

Response from SKU Science

Thank you Mark for your review and to highlight the capability of the platform to adjust forecasts at any level quickly. We have addressed your feedback about the reporting to provide a better user experience.

Evolving Demand Planning

Simplifies a lot task related with forecasting and demand planning

Pros

It´s very easy to implement and easy to use.

Cons

Adjusting forecast parameters is not as easy as in other solutions with similar price .

Response from SKU Science

Thank you for your review Alvaro Manuel. Indeed the platform is designed to quickly change forecasts values at any level, but although forecast parameters are visible the idea is not to change them manually since they are automatically updated each new cycle. This may be frustrating for forecast experts, but most of our users don't want to dig into the mathematics of forecast models and rely on the platform to pick the best model.
