Forecasting APIs

Forecasting APIs allow companies to exchange data about anticipated product demand and supply availability with upstream and downstream supply chain Partners without giving these Partners access to their serialization system of record. These Forecasts can be used by buyers to inform their Partners about anticipated demand for specific products and quantities they expect to need in an upcoming amount of time and by suppliers to inform their Partners about their ability to meet the Partners' anticipated demand for specific products and quantities.
