What Makes Logistics Forecasting So Hard?

Demand forecasting in logistics is notoriously difficult. Seasonal patterns, market changes, supply chain disruptions, and customer behavior shifts all impact demand unpredictably. Traditional spreadsheet-based forecasting often relies on outdated data and simple trend analysis, leading to costly mistakes like overstocking slow-moving items or running out of high-demand products.

Without accurate forecasting, you face increased carrying costs, stockouts that disappoint customers, and missed opportunities to optimize your supply chain efficiency.
