A forecast in units is only half a reorder decision
Forecasting answers a demand question: how many of each SKU you expect to sell, and when. NeonPanel builds that from your own order history, with growth and promotional overrides you control.
Turning it into a purchase order is a supply question, and that is where the rest of the stack matters — what you already hold, where it sits, what is still on the water, and how long your lanes actually take. Essentials supplies market-level stock; Professional adds in-transit states and lead times observed on your own shipments. The forecast says what will sell; inventory says what you already have coming.
What the planning module adds
Demand from your history, not a category average
Velocity, seasonality, and promotional lift derived from your own order history, with growth and promo overrides you control. Scenarios sit side by side so you can compare a plan instead of adopting one.
Reorder points that know your real lead times
Coverage, safety stock, and reorder timing built on the lead times your own shipments actually ran and the stock already inbound — not on a default anyone typed in once.
Replenishment ranked, not listed
Inbound and FBA candidates ordered by stockout risk and days of supply, so the weekly buying conversation starts from a shortlist rather than from a full catalogue export.

Nothing is estimated any more, which is when AI becomes worth wiring in
With all three modules running, an agent can see the whole loop in one place: what sold, what each unit cost, where the stock is, and what demand is expected to do next. That is the point at which handing a model access to your data stops being a demo — it can answer a supply question and a margin question without you stitching two exports together first.
NeonPanel MCP exposes this ledger to Claude, Cursor, Slack agents, or a client you build yourself, for read and write. It is a company-wide add-on available on any plan.

The complete operating picture — books, physical stock, and forward demand in one system. Forecasting works at either inventory resolution; lead-time variance by lane and shipment-level planning need Professional underneath.
Who runs this, and what they run it for
Demand and supply planners
You own coverage and stockouts, and need the demand plan and the real stock position to sit in the same place.
Runs it forThe weekly replenishment cycle — open the ranked candidate list, confirm what to buy, and place orders knowing what is already inbound.
Operations directors
Overstock and stockouts are both eating budget, and the argument about which forecast is right needs to end.
Runs it forPlan versus actual — compare what the forecast expected against what sold, and carry the correction into the next cycle.
Founders still doing the buy
You place the orders yourself and want a ranked shortlist on Monday instead of a Sunday spent in a spreadsheet.
Runs it forPurchase order timing — work back from lead-time variance on your own lanes to the date an order has to leave.
Kio models the demand, Dorian turns it into timing
This is the combination agents were waiting for. Kio builds and compares demand scenarios — coverage gaps, sell-through outlook, what a promotion does to the curve. Dorian takes those scenarios into reorder points and purchase-order timing from live velocity and real lead times.
Nina keeps the shipment data underneath them honest, so the stock a recommendation assumes is the stock you have.
- Which SKUs run out inside the next lead time?
- Where am I holding more than six months of cover?
- What will next quarter’s buy cost at current landed rates?
- How much cash is tied up in overstock right now?
- Rank this week’s replenishment candidates by risk.
- Which lanes are running longer than their planned lead time?

Frequently asked questions
No. Forecasting & Replenishment works at either resolution. Essentials is enough for velocity, coverage, and reorder points. Professional adds shipment-level planning and lead-time variance by lane, because those need shipments modelled as distinct objects.
No. The forecast projects units — it runs on sales history, seasonality, and the overrides you set. Costs matter to what a buy is worth, not to how much you expect to sell. What replenishment does need from the rest of the stack is an accurate stock position and real lead times, which is what Inventory Management supplies.
It is an add-on module rather than part of the base plan, quoted on order volume alongside everything else. See how quoting works.
Yes. Growth assumptions, promotional lift, and manual adjustments are all yours to set, and scenarios can be compared before one is adopted. The module page covers the methodology.
The module page documents how forecasting works. This page is about what running it on top of accounting and inventory buys you — a demand plan that meets a stock position you can trust, instead of one that meets a spreadsheet.
