AI SmartForecast for Sales & Trends
AI SmartForecast turns your sales history (and refunds) into a clear, forward-looking picture. It spots your busy and quiet days and projects how much you’re likely to sell next—daily or weekly. The aim is simple: help you stock smarter, staff smarter, and hit targets with fewer surprises.
What you’ll see
- Daily or weekly bars with expected sales.
- “Total forecast” so you know the headline number.
- “Vs last period” to see momentum up or down.
- Optional low/high lines for a simple best-/worst-case range.
Why it helps
- AI inventory forecasting that learns your rhythm (Fridays up, Mondays down).
- Handles irregular sales—still gives sensible guidance.
- Understands refunds to keep numbers honest (net sales).
- Adapts fast when demand shifts.
Where to use it
- Purchasing & inventory planning.
- Staffing & scheduling around peaks.
- Targets, promos, and cash-flow prep.

Popular Products (AI) — The Heat Index
See what’s heating up right now. Popular Products gives each item a simple 0–100 AI heat score so you can rank products or variants side by side. It blends recent sales (fresh days count more) with a short-term trend signal— not just raw units, but how “hot” an item is this moment.
How it’s computed
- Looks at your daily sales history (qty + revenue).
- Recent days carry more weight (time-decay).
- Adds a small trend signal (speeding up or cooling down).
- Normalizes to 0–100 so you can compare fairly.
How to read it
- 80–100 Hot — prioritize stock & promotion.
- 50–79 Warm — solid performer, watch the trend.
- 0–49 Cool — keep, tweak, or phase out.
Need “how many”? Check Pred 7d — a quick view of expected units next week (with change vs last week).
Where it shines
- Sort by Popularity (AI) to elevate winners instantly.
- Switch to variant view for barcode/SKU detail.
- Use the 30-day sparkline to sanity-check momentum.
Pro tips
- Flip the time chip 7d / 14d / 30d—shorter reacts faster, longer smooths noise.
- If you want pure volume or value, sort by Units or Sales, then switch back to Popularity for the “what’s heating up” view.

Low-Stock Focus — Your “Restock Radar”
Restock Radar is a smart way to surface products that may sell out soon. When enabled, items that are low on hand—or where the Pred 7d forecast is higher than your current stock—are highlighted with a clear “Restock soon” tag and floated to the top.
How it works
- Pick a Branch and switch to By variant.
- Set Low stock ≤ N (your threshold).
- Toggle Focus low stock.
- We flag an item if stock ≤ threshold, or if Pred 7d > stock.
What you’ll see
- “Restock soon” badges in the Prediction for 7 days column.
- Risky items automatically bubble to the top (optional).
- Barcode/SKU visible in variant view for precise ordering.
Best practices
- Start with ≤ 20–50 for fast movers; increase if supply chains are slow.
- Use Popularity (AI) + Restock Radar together to prioritize hot & at-risk items.
- Pair with your lead times and MOQs for clean POs.
Examples
- Variant A: Stock 50, Pred 7d 11, Threshold 80 → Restock soon (below threshold).
- Variant B: Stock 9, Pred 7d 14, Threshold 20 → Restock soon (forecast > stock).
- Variant C: Stock 120, Pred 7d 15, Threshold 20 → No flag.
