Introducing Depletion-Based Forecasting

We’ve added a new method to your forecasting toolkit: Depletion-based forecasting. Built to work alongside your existing consumption model, it helps you plan based on shipments to distributors and retailers — not just what sells off the shelf.

With this added visibility, you can better anticipate demand, align your supply chain, and strengthen your position in inventory planning and negotiations.

Schedule a walk-through session with your Customer Success Management to get started.

📊 Upgraded Tables for Faster Work

Navigating your tables just got easier. With new custom filters, richer data fields, and bulk export options, your team can now streamline workflows and gain deeper insights in less time.

  • Bulk deductions backup export is now available, helping you validate deductions faster at scale.

  • New searchable fields like Promo Event ID and Deduction Owner to help you quickly pinpoint key data points.

  • More custom filters to sort through large datasets and focus on what matters most.

🧑‍💼 Expanded Reporting & Custom Attributes

The new custom attribute filters across Forecasting and Trade Promotions make it easier to segment and report on products that match your team’s strategy — putting the power of tailored insights into your hands.

  • Filter by custom attributes like Product Category, Seasonality, or Customer Type to create more targeted forecasts and reports.

  • Added accrual amount to exhaust on the Net Sales View to more accurately and consistently track open accruals there

🔐 Enhanced Workflows for Greater Flexibility

Control your processes with new approval workflows and improved SSO capabilities. Customize access, streamline approvals, and scale your workflows securely as your team grows.

  • New account ownership roles for deductions owners, relevant for instances where you have multiple people on the deductions team who own different accounts

  • SSO integration now supports user-level settings, allowing for more granular permissions.

✅ Clean Up on Aisle 3

We’ve cleaned up a few bugs to ensure everything runs smoothly:

  • Fixed a bug in promo splits that was causing unit overcounts in forecasts.

  • Improved custom field handling and display values across deduction workflows.

  • Cleaned up the merging view in Forecasting for better focus on approvals.
