ForecastLens
Demand and supply forecasts in one workspace — align sales, ops, and finance with scenarios leadership can stress-test.
Replace disconnected spreadsheets with demand and supply plans everyone trusts.
The problem
Demand lives in the CRM, supply in procurement spreadsheets, and finance in a third model. When forecasts don't connect, you over-order slow SKUs, miss capacity gaps, and spend the quarter reconciling instead of acting.
Why teams choose ForecastLens
ForecastLens ingests historical actuals — orders, shipments, pipeline, supplier lead times, and on-hand — and produces rolling demand and supply forecasts with confidence bands. Ops sets the baseline; sales and procurement layer scenarios (promotional lift, supplier delay, new SKU launch) without breaking the model.
Demand forecast projects unit volume and revenue drivers by channel and SKU family. Supply forecast maps inbound POs, supplier capacity, and lead-time risk so procurement sees shortfalls before they become stockouts. Weekly variance alerts flag when actuals diverge from plan early enough to act.
Business outcomes
- •Linked demand and supply forecasts in one shared workspace
- •Scenario comparison in minutes instead of cross-functional spreadsheet sessions
- •Early variance alerts when demand or supply drifts from plan
- •Audit-friendly assumption log for board and S&OP reviews
Ideal for
CFOs and ops leaders at companies with $3M–$100M revenue who outgrew Excel forecasting but don't need a six-figure FP&A platform rollout.
How it works
We start with discovery to confirm fit, then provision your workspace, configure the template for your tier, and hand off access through the EdgeBridge client portal or licensed API. Custom builds follow a scoped milestone plan; licensed deployments can expand seats or move to enterprise as you scale.
Human oversight
Every automation ships with a clear off-switch and a human review path. Sensitive actions can be gated behind approval. Every action is written to an audit trail your team can inspect and export.
Security & data
Deployed on the cloud or private environment you specify, with per-license isolation. API keys are hashed and stored once. Chat logs are redacted by default. Your data is never used to train shared models. Enterprise plans include a signed DPA and can pin data residency.
Common questions
- What is ForecastLens?

- What problem does ForecastLens solve?
- Demand lives in the CRM, supply in procurement spreadsheets, and finance in a third model. When forecasts don't connect, you over-order slow SKUs, miss capacity gaps, and spend the quarter reconciling instead of acting.
- What results does ForecastLens deliver?
- Linked demand and supply forecasts in one shared workspace; Scenario comparison in minutes instead of cross-functional spreadsheet sessions; Early variance alerts when demand or supply drifts from plan; and Audit-friendly assumption log for board and S&OP reviews. Targets are agreed against your own baseline during discovery rather than quoted as generic benchmarks.
- Who is ForecastLens for?
- CFOs and ops leaders at companies with $3M–$100M revenue who outgrew Excel forecasting but don't need a six-figure FP&A platform rollout.
- How much does ForecastLens cost?
- ForecastLens is quoted after a free 30-minute discovery call, because cost depends on integration surface, data volume, and approval requirements. You receive a fixed scope and price before any work begins.
- Where does ForecastLens run, and who owns the data?
- EdgeBridge deploys ForecastLens into your own AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure account, or onto private compute where data residency requires it. Your data never leaves your environment, and you own the configuration, records, and any custom code.
