Simple or Smart Model
There are two different options to choose from for how Prediko makes inventory forecasts, the Simple Model and the Smart Model. Once everything above is fully setup, we would usually suggest switching to the Smart Model for the most accurate predictions.
Regularly Refresh Your Plan
We suggest that when your Smart Modelis setup, you regularly refresh (on a monthly basis) to get the most accurate predictions.
