Demand Forecasting (Forecast)
Wondering if your production will be fully loaded in the coming months? The Forecast module combines sales pipeline data with order history to build an accurate forecast of resource demand. Artificial intelligence assesses sales opportunities and automatically suggests the optimal distribution of orders over time, preventing scheduling conflicts.
- Input
- Sales history + sales pipeline
- Flow
- Historical data and pipeline → forecast → resource decisions
- Output
- Time-phased workload forecast

What AI does for you in this process
Production workload prediction
AI analyses historical sales data and the current pipeline to forecast resource demand for the coming quarters.
Schedule conflict detection
AI automatically identifies the risk of overlapping orders in the planning grid and warns when crew availability is exceeded.
Sales opportunity scoring
AI analyses the time each opportunity spends in individual kanban stages and estimates the probability of winning the lead.
The process from start to finish
Plan an annual production schedule in a clear view broken down by months and weeks. Verify the progress of individual orders using detailed checklists and progress bars on the Order details screen. Manage sales opportunities on a kanban board in the Sales pipeline view, smoothly turning them into quotes and production orders. Control team workload by checking the availability of individual crews and calculating both nominal and effective man-hours. Assign orders to specific periods and, if needed, quickly roll back the last moves made in the plan. Filter data by markets, missing stages or statuses to get a complete picture of the situation, from the initial construction order to dispatch of the finished home to the customer.
