In the beverage industry, demand planning is critical for accurately managing seasonal fluctuations, promotions, and new product launches. Brands must ensure that high‑volume products such as soft drinks or beer are available in the right quantities at the right time—without risking excess inventory.With Sunstice, companies can incorporate external factors such as weather data and event calendars directly into their forecasts. This enables more accurate demand predictions for summer beverages, peak seasons, and promotional periods.
