Gulf distributors sit between global suppliers and hyper-local demand spikes—Ramadan, Expo seasons, construction surges, and port delays all hit the same SKU plan within one quarter. Static reorder points cannot keep up.
ForecastIQ ingests shipment schedules, historical offtake, and warehouse lead times into a single S&OP view. Planners see probabilistic depletion curves instead of one-number guesses, and scenario mode stress-tests port closures or supplier slips before they become stockouts.
The platform segments SKUs by velocity and margin so capital is not trapped in C-class inventory while A-class lines run dry. Multi-warehouse routing suggests transfers before emergency air freight becomes the default.
Teams running ForecastIQ in production typically report lower carrying cost and fewer expedited shipments—not because the model is magic, but because planners finally share one forecast, one assumption log, and one escalation path when reality diverges from plan.
