Demand and forecasting

• Demand forecasting explained — How Flowlity's probabilistic forecasting works, confidence intervals, and forecast accuracy.

• Forecast events and demand adjustments — Events lifecycle, anomaly detection, and how the Demand Anomaly Agent interacts with your data.

• Product similarities — Link related products to share demand history, manage replacements, and improve forecasts for new or sparse items.

Inventory and supply

• Inventory strategies — MTS Flowlity AI, My min, Reorder point, Reorder point + AI, and MTO — when to use each.

• Buffer policies and safety stock — Service levels, the Flowlity Min/Max corridor, and default vs product-level overrides.

• Supplier constraints and order management — Lead time, MOQ, order multiple, closures, and how they shape order generation.

Monitoring and collaboration
