Generate item-level sales forecasts quickly with minimal setup. Reliable forecasts at the item, channel, and week level—fast results with little training.
Built on the Amplified IQ platform—SalesPlanIQ helps operations teams in any industry generate accurate item-level forecasts without the complexity or learning curve of traditional demand planning systems.
The problem
Operations teams in any industry need item-level sales forecasts to plan inventory, shipments, and promotions. But traditional demand planning tools are expensive, require weeks of training, and hide their forecasting methods. Spreadsheets are manual and error-prone. Teams need fast, transparent forecasts they can trust and adjust.
What SalesPlanIQ does
SalesPlanIQ generates item-level sales forecasts at the item, channel, and week level with minimal setup. Automatic best-fit statistical methods, manual overrides tied to business events, scenario planning that doesn't wreck your base forecast—and full transparency into why each forecast was chosen.

Override statistical forecasts and tie changes to business events (promotions, launches, retirements). Track statistical vs human override performance over time.
Map new item launches to similar existing items. Forecast new items based on historical performance of comparable products—no more guesswork.
Model new item launches, retirements, distribution changes, velocity shifts, and promotions. Include/exclude scenarios; merge into base forecast when ready (admin-controlled).
See actuals, statistical forecasts, and scenario impact over time. Accuracy scoring flags items needing review. Compare statistical vs override performance.
Generate shipment forecasts from item-level sales forecasts using item lead times. Plan inventory and logistics from the same forecast model.
Sales data stays on your device. Client-side web app with local file import. No cloud upload for core forecasting—your data doesn't leave your control.
How it's built
SalesPlanIQ is built with the Idea → Build → Support → Sell process. We started with operations teams who understand the pain of slow, opaque demand planning tools—then built fast, transparent item-level forecasting that delivers quick results with minimal training.
Partnered with operations managers, demand planners, and category managers to understand the real job: fast item-level forecasts, transparent methods, manual override accountability, and scenario planning that doesn't wreck the base forecast.
Human developers + AI partners built the forecasting engine. VDP-based statistical methods, new-item mapping, scenario planning, and local-only data storage—client-side web app designed for speed and privacy from day one.
Designed for spreadsheet-comfortable operations teams who want clear outputs and fast answers, not technical control. Minimal setup, little training required, and forecast transparency so you understand why each number was chosen.
Early adopters validate forecasting methods and workflows. Usage data informs accuracy improvements and feature priorities. Platform ready to scale from one category to enterprise-wide item forecasting without rebuilding.
SalesPlanIQ proves the Amplified IQ process works for sales planning tools: experienced demand planning professionals paired with AI to build fast, transparent item-level forecasting—not another expensive, slow, opaque demand planning system that takes weeks to learn.
