The periods with future inventory level shortages are marked in red, and overstocks in green. This allows you to ensure you are not overbuying, storing and tying up capital needlessly, while also ensuring you have sufficient inventory to prevent stock outs.

GMDH Streamline is the small business demand forecasting dream come true. If you are too small for a huge ERP and big enough to need to track and forecast demand and reorders this is really the perfect tool. It integrates so nicely into QuickBooks and in one click runs your regular reports. It takes out all the hours and hours of manual updating. I love this tool.
