See the shortage.Before the scramble.
Turn actual usage into a clearer view of what comes next. Know how long stock may last, see what is already on its way, and understand the reasoning behind every forecast.
What does the stock tell you?
A forecast starts with what actually happened.
A plan is more useful when it follows real consumption. Hovera learns the usage of each item at each location from the operational record.
Patterns in everyday use
Forecasts account for steady usage, changing trends, weekly patterns and the occasional demand common with spare parts.
Evidence behind the method
Hovera compares how methods performed over recent weeks, chooses the stronger fit and shows a likely range rather than presenting one figure as certain.
A head start from history
Import past usage from an older system so forecasting can work with the evidence your team already has.
Understand cover in the real world.
Days of cover connects available stock with expected use. The planning picture also considers arrivals, expiry and the time a replenishment route actually takes.
Use the stock you can use
Quarantined or expired stock does not count as usable. The projection also considers lots that will expire along the way.
Count what is coming
Stock in transit and orders already placed contribute to the expected supply picture. Route lead times inform whether replenishment can arrive in time.
Risk with a reason
Distinguish critical, at-risk, healthy, surplus and no-demand stock. Set safety, target and surplus days by category, item and location.
A number you can question.
A planner needs more than a confident-looking figure. Understand the forecast, check the evidence, and apply local knowledge when the situation calls for it.
Why this number?
Open the reasoning to see the method in plain words, recent accuracy, history used and confidence level.
Keep human judgement
Override a forecast with a reason and an end date. The override is recorded so another planner can understand the decision.
Move between levels
Use the planning dashboard for impending run-outs, inspect an item across the network, or colour the map by supply risk. Look-ahead stock-health boards reveal changing conditions.
A fast-moving line starts moving faster.
A store's recent consumption is rising while its next scheduled delivery is still several days away.
Observe
Actual stock movements provide the usage history behind the forecast.
Understand
The planner inspects cover, expected arrivals and the explanation for the run-out risk.
Decide
Review replenishment options, or apply a time-limited override with a recorded reason.
Your team can explain both the prediction and the decision that follows it.
A closer look.
A few useful details before your next move.
Are the forecasts guaranteed?
No. A forecast is an estimate based on available evidence. Hovera shows a likely range and explains its method and confidence so people can make an informed decision.
Can a planner change the forecast?
Yes. A planner can apply an override with a reason and an end date. The decision is recorded rather than silently replacing the underlying evidence.
Is a low stock balance always critical?
No. Risk depends on expected usage and whether replenishment can arrive in time, alongside usable stock, arrivals and orders. A low balance and a shortage are different operational situations.
