5 ways that sales forecasting software can benefit your bakery

1. Optimized Production Planning - Accurate sales predictions can help bakeries organize production schedules more effectively. This creates more concise communication with staff about workflow, which prevents overproduction, reduces waste, and ensures customers get fresh products.
2. Inventory Management - Forecasting allows bakeries to accurately maintain ingredient and finished goods stock therefore avoiding shortages, lost sales opportunities, costly emergency runs and overstocking
3. Focused Operations - Forecasting frees up employees’ vital creative efforts to be redirected to other necessary responsibilities to drive business like product development.
4. Seasonal Demand - Forecasting allows the foresight to be better positioned for opportunities in sales growth during holiday and other high traffic times by allowing bakers to ramp up operations in anticipation of seasonal events.
5. Compliance - Sales forecasting via a software package can enable a bakery operator to monitor compliance of the execution of the production plans. This in turn instills more confidence in strategic business decisions.
