Demand Planning Calculator
Weighted moving average forecasting solves a specific problem: a simple average treats three months ago and last month as equally predictive of next month, which is usually wrong. This calculator applies default weights (0.2 / 0.3 / 0.5) that lean toward the most recent period without fully discounting the trend history, giving planners a fast, defensible baseline forecast without needing statistical software.
Inventory Turnover Calculator
Measure how many times a year your average inventory sells through and gets replaced. The single most consequential operational KPI in retail. It connects buying decisions, warehouse cash, markdown risk, and finance targets into one number. The turn ratio arrives converted into days and weeks of supply, together with the working capital a one-turn improvement would release.
