À propos de ce produit
AI Demand Forecasting for Retail is a custom-built Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central extension (AL language, deployed as a per-tenant extension) that turns your historical sales into store-and-SKU demand forecasts — so buyers order to data, not gut feel.
This is not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE builds the extension to fit your item/location structure, installs it directly into your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), and supports it after go-live. We connect to your sales history through Business Central's posted sales lines and item ledger entries, model seasonality, trend and promotional uplift, and write forecast results back into BC tables you can act on.
The extension adds table and page extensions (e.g. forecast factboxes on the Item and Location cards, a dedicated Demand Forecast list page) and event subscribers on posting routines so new sales continuously refresh the model. Forecasting runs on a scheduled Job Queue entry; heavier ML scoring is handled through a configurable AI gateway — either Azure OpenAI / Azure ML reached over the BC REST/OData API and outbound HTTP, or Dataverse / Power Platform when you prefer to keep scoring inside your Microsoft tenant. Output feeds forecast-driven replenishment suggestions that line up with BC's requisition and planning worksheets, plus stockout and overstock risk flags surfaced where planners already work.
We scope permission sets, respect your company/location dimensions, and hand over documentation so your team owns the result. New-product and event forecasting (launches, promos, seasonal peaks) is included for items without long history. One-time build price covers design, AL development, installation and knowledge transfer; ongoing support and model tuning are available as an option.

Pour qui c'est
Retail Planner / Demand Planner
Owns the forecast and replenishment cadence. Wants store-and-SKU demand numbers and risk flags inside Business Central instead of exporting to spreadsheets and guessing.
Buyer / Merchandiser
Places purchase orders against forecasts. Wants replenishment suggestions tied to BC requisition worksheets so ordering is data-driven and stockouts and markdowns drop.
Business Central Administrator
Manages the environment, extensions and integrations. Cares about a clean per-tenant AL extension, scoped permission sets, Job Queue scheduling and a supportable AI gateway configuration.

Foire aux questions sur AI Demand Forecasting for Retail
How long does delivery take, and is this an AppSource app I download?
This is a build-to-order extension, not an instant AppSource download. After a short scoping call we typically deliver in roughly one working week depending on your data volume, number of stores/SKUs and chosen AI gateway. ECOSIRE builds the AL extension, installs it as a per-tenant extension in your Business Central environment, and validates the forecasts against your history before sign-off.
What ongoing support and updates do I get after go-live?
The one-time build price covers design, development, installation and knowledge transfer. Ongoing support — bug fixes, BC version-upgrade compatibility (e.g. when Microsoft ships a new major release), model retuning as your assortment changes, and feature enhancements — is available as an optional support arrangement. We keep the extension current with your environment so it stays installable and supported.
Where does the AI scoring run, and is my sales data safe?
You choose the gateway. Scoring can run on Azure OpenAI / Azure ML reached over outbound HTTP from Business Central, or stay inside your Microsoft tenant via Dataverse / Power Platform. Only the sales-history features needed for forecasting are sent; we scope permission sets and follow your data-governance rules. Nothing is hardcoded to an ECOSIRE-owned service.
Does it work with multiple stores and item variants?
Yes. Forecasts are computed per Location (store) and per Item/Variant (SKU), and the extension honors your company, dimension and location structure. It is designed for multi-store retail chains where demand differs by store.
How does it connect to my existing ordering process?
Forecast-driven replenishment suggestions are aligned with Business Central's requisition and planning worksheets, so buyers act on them inside the standard ordering flow. Forecast data is also exposed via the BC REST/OData API for Power BI and downstream reporting.
