Inventory Forecast Report Generator
Generate a purchasing forecast by SKU using sales velocity, upcoming promotions, and supplier lead time.
📋 Prompt
Generate a detailed inventory forecast report for my Shopify store covering the next [FORECAST_PERIOD] days. I need to plan purchasing for [PRODUCT_CATEGORY] products.
Please analyze the following and produce a forecast:
Pull sales velocity data for each SKU over the past [LOOKBACK_DAYS] days, broken down by week.
Identify trends – are sales accelerating, steady, or declining for each product line?
Factor in any known upcoming events or promotions:
[EVENT_1] on [EVENT_DATE_1] with expected sales lift of [LIFT_PERCENT_1] percent.
[EVENT_2] on [EVENT_DATE_2] with expected sales lift of [LIFT_PERCENT_2] percent.
For each SKU, calculate:
Projected units sold over the forecast period.
Current stock on hand versus projected demand.
Recommended reorder date assuming [LEAD_TIME_DAYS] days supplier lead time.
Recommended order quantity to maintain [SAFETY_STOCK_DAYS] days of safety stock.
Flag any SKUs where current inventory will not last through the forecast period.
Group results by [GROUPING_METHOD] (vendor, collection, or product type).
Provide a summary table showing total units needed, estimated cost at current wholesale prices, and priority ranking.
Format the output so I can share it directly with my purchasing team at [COMPANY_NAME].
