Forecast reads your salon's usage curves like a veteran stylist reads hair — auto-generating purchase orders before your supply closet tells the truth.
Every salon running on sticky notes and gut instinct is bleeding money quietly. Here's what the data shows.
Three layers of intelligence, running continuously. No spreadsheets. No counting days.
Forecast connects to your POS and distributor invoices, building a real-time usage model per SKU. It learns Olaplex No. 3 spikes after color days and developer dips before highlight rushes.
When Redken Shades EQ 7NW drops below Thursday's highlight threshold, Forecast flags it in coral — before Friday's appointments. Expired tubes get surfaced before they hit the trash.
Reorder points calculated dynamically: avg_daily_use × lead_time + safety_stock. Orders route to your distributor automatically. You review, approve, done.
From Brooklyn flagship to the Williamsburg studio — Forecast rolls up your entire backbar into one glowing command center.

"We used to lose $400 a month in expired Redken tubes alone. That number is now zero."

"My quarterly waste report went from an accountant's nightmare to a one-page win. The board actually applauded."
Tell us your salon name, how many locations you run, and who your distributor is. Forecast does the rest — scanning usage patterns and returning your personalized waste report within 24 hours.
Salons spending $3,000/month on product typically waste 18–24% to expiry and over-dispensing.
Three fields. 60 seconds. Your backbar truth, delivered.
The salon industry wastes 421,000 lbs of product every single day.
