Sales forecasting for ADempiere
The Lokad Desktop Sales Forecasting is an add-on that supports ADempiere. Get daily / weekly / monthly sales forecasts reports.
If you keep too much inventory, your expenses go up. But if you reduce too much, you have nothing to sell. Inventory optimization is a cornerstone of profitability.

Sourceforge project: sourceforge.net/projects/lokad
The add-on is a standalone Windows application that connects to the ADempiere database. The add-on is released under an open source BSD license.
Special thanks to Carlos Ruiz who gave a big help in porting the SQL query to Oracle.
