You bought too much inventory for Christmas and not enough for BFCM. A revenue forecast would have changed both decisions.
Inventory planning, staffing, and marketing budget allocation all depend on a single question: what will revenue be next month? Most DTC brands answer this with a combination of last year's data, gut feel, and a spreadsheet that updates manually. The result is systematic over-investment in slow periods and under-investment in peak periods — a gap that compounds across a full trading year. AI forecasting does not replace your judgment, but it gives you a starting point that is substantially more accurate than the spreadsheet.
Solved by Sales Forecasting — Know what revenue to expect — 30, 60, and 90 days out.
85-95% forecast accuracy at 30 days

What you get
What Sales Forecasting does
Sales Forecasting projects revenue for the next 30, 60, and 90 days from Shopify history, seasonal patterns, growth trajectory, and planned marketing spend—forecasts your team reviews before inventory and budget decisions, not autopilot changes. Traditional methods often land at 65–75% accuracy; model-assisted forecasts commonly reach 85–95% at 30 days when history is sufficient (SelectedFirms, 2025). Alpomi prioritises recommendations and proposed tasks from live data—your team reviews, approves, and executes. AI playbook and cross-domain recommendations: Pro+ (see pricing). Available on Pro, Agency, and Enterprise tiers.
- 30, 60, and 90-day revenue forecasts with confidence intervals
- Seasonal pattern detection: BFCM, Christmas, summer peaks built into the model
- Marketing spend correlation: forecasts adjust based on your planned ad spend
- Product-level forecasting: which SKUs are trending up or down
- YoY forecast comparison — see how this year is tracking against last year
- Forecast accuracy tracking: see how predictions compare to actual results over time

Why teams look for a Sales Forecasting solution
The real operational pain that drives people to Alpomi
Traditional revenue forecasting achieves 65-75% accuracy — the equivalent of a 25-35% margin of error on every inventory decision
80% of online retailers now use AI for demand forecasting, a 270% increase since 2019 — the brands not using it are at a structural disadvantage (StayModern, 2025)
Manual seasonal adjustment for BFCM and Christmas is typically based on one or two prior years of data — AI models use all available historical patterns
Over-inventory in slow months and under-inventory in peak periods costs DTC brands 10-15% of potential annual profit on average

The shift
Before Alpomi vs After Alpomi
From pain to clarity with Sales Forecasting
Before
October inventory planning: you look at last year's BFCM sales and add 15% for expected growth. You order inventory based on this estimate. BFCM comes and demand is 40% higher. You run out of stock on day three of Black Friday. Revenue and margin are lost.
With Alpomi
October inventory planning: Sales Forecasting shows BFCM revenue projection of £185,000 (vs £132,000 last year), with a confidence range of £162,000-£208,000. You order to the upper end of the range. BFCM demand is met. No stockouts.
Before
Budget planning for Q1: you allocate ad spend based on Q4 performance trends. Q1 is structurally slower — revenue drops and ROAS appears to decline. You cut budget in March, which was the most efficient spend period of the quarter.
With Alpomi
Budget planning for Q1: Sales Forecasting shows expected revenue by month, with Q1 seasonality modelled. You plan a lower ad budget for January-February and a higher budget for March when the model shows a recovery trend. Budget allocation matches actual opportunity.

For DTC brands
Stop guessing what next month's revenue will be. Your Shopify data already has the answer.
AI forecasting achieves 85-95% accuracy at 30 days compared to 65-75% for traditional methods — and the ROI on better forecasting is well-documented: $3.50 in value for every $1 invested. For DTC brands making inventory, staffing, and ad spend decisions based on expected revenue, that accuracy gap is the difference between a tight month and a profitable one.
- 30-day forecasts at 85-95% accuracy based on your Shopify history

How it works
Get started in three steps

Step 2
Link your ad platforms for spend correlation
Connect Google Ads and Meta to include planned marketing spend in the forecast. Predictions adjust based on your ad investment levels.
Step 3
Review 30, 60, and 90-day projections
Forecasts are generated automatically and updated daily. View projections with confidence intervals, YoY comparisons, and product-level breakdowns.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- How much Shopify history is needed for accurate forecasting?
- Forecasts work with as little as 90 days of history, but improve significantly with 12+ months of data, as the model can identify seasonal patterns. Brands with 2+ years of history get the highest accuracy.
- Does the forecast include BFCM and Christmas peaks automatically?
- Yes — the model detects seasonal patterns from your own Shopify history and incorporates them. If you have run BFCM campaigns previously, the seasonal uplift is modelled into the forecast automatically.
- Can I see forecasts at product or category level?
- Yes — product-level forecasting is available, showing projected sales velocity for individual SKUs and product categories. Useful for inventory planning and marketing budget allocation by product.
- What is the confidence range in the forecast?
- Each forecast includes a confidence interval showing the range of likely outcomes. A typical 30-day forecast might show a central estimate of £85,000 with a range of £72,000-£98,000, reflecting both upside and downside scenarios.
- Is Sales Forecasting available on all tiers?
- Sales Forecasting is available on Pro, Agency, and Enterprise tiers. It requires a Shopify connection, which is also available on Pro and above.
- Does Sales Forecasting change campaigns automatically?
- Alpomi prioritises recommendations and proposed tasks from live data—your team reviews, approves, and executes. Forecasts inform planning; Playbook and the Action Board handle proposed tasks your team approves.
- How does including ad spend improve the forecast?
- Historical data shows the correlation between your marketing spend and revenue outcomes. When you plan higher spend for BFCM, the forecast adjusts upward to reflect the expected revenue impact of that investment.
