How can I use StockTrim for scenario planning?

You can use StockTrim to model scenario changes like new lead times, changing moqs, and increases in sales due to promotions during key selling periods.

To edit your product parameters like lead times or moq, you can do this on the individual sku, or do bulk updates as below.

Click the bulk update button on the order plan – this will then be filtered based on your current order plan filters, then simply select the items you wish to update and then the fields with their new values. The intuitive interface will tell you which data points will be updated. 

This can allow you to quickly test different scenarios (eg different supplier lead times) to see forecasts and order suggestions for each. Additionally, you can quickly update relevant fields (eg: minimum order quantities, service levels, batch sizes) or bulk discontinue items that are no longer required.

To bring in your new predicted forecast sales, we have a template that you can use on the Load Data screen that cna be populated and then loaded in.

You can also make manual adjustments in the individual monthly boxes on the sku analysis screen.

You can also make per annum percentage sales adjustments on each sku, or in the bulk update process above.

Enter a value into the Expected Growth box, and make sure that is selected, then save, and the system will then apply that new percentage split evenly over the next 12 months forecast.
