About ShipCast

Planning software for the people who keep shelves stocked.

ShipCast is a demand forecasting and inventory planning tool for operations teams. It reads your sales, stock and shipment data, predicts what you'll need, and tells you early when inbound freight is going to miss the plan.

The problem

Planning still runs on exports and gut feel.

Most mid-sized operations teams plan replenishment from spreadsheets stitched together from ERP, WMS and carrier exports. By the time the sheet is updated, demand has moved and a container has slipped.

The result is familiar: too much stock of slow movers, not enough of the items that sell, and expedited freight to cover the gap. ShipCast keeps that picture current automatically and highlights the few decisions that actually need a person.

Every forecast and recommendation lists the inputs behind it. Planners should be able to argue with the model.

People approve, software suggests

ShipCast never places orders on its own. It drafts the change; your team decides.
