What SKU Science is

SKU Science is a cloud-based demand planning platform for operations and supply-chain teams. It covers forecasting, collaborative review, and sales and operations planning outputs. For each item and cycle, its engine tests statistical and machine-learning combinations and selects a forecast based on historical performance. Teams can work with aggregated forecasts, planning KPIs and dashboards, ABC/XYZ classification, forecast adjustments, promotions, and product lifecycle management. Data can be imported through the API, MCP connector, or Excel/CSV, and forecasts can be exported to ERP or planning systems. Enterprise plans include integrations, API, and MCP access. The maker recommends at least 24 months of SKU-level sales history to detect seasonality. The web service is hosted on AWS in Ireland; self-hosted installation is not a standard option. Launch is listed at $349 a year, billed at $349 per month annually, and Core at $625 a year, billed at $625 per month annually. Both list one user and up to 2,500 forecast units. A 15-day trial includes all features and does not require a credit card.
