How to Fix Moving Seasonality vs Fixed Seasonality in Demand Forecasting in 90 Days for $10M–$100M Companies

Companies scaling between $10M and $100M in annual revenue often operate with lean planning teams and limited analytics resources. Traditional enterprise transformation timelines spanning multiple quarters or years are impractical.

Translate updated seasonal forecasts into procurement schedules that align inventory arrival with expected consumption periods.

Adjust safety stock policies.

Simulate alternative promotional timing and marketing spend scenarios.

Evaluate impact on seasonal demand timing.

Track inventory turnover and service levels during promotional periods.
