Inventory Forecasting & Planning

I'd love to see more features designed to help with inventory planning. Tools that can suggest how much stock we should hold, allowing us to set intelligent re-order points based on supplier lead times and historic sales volume of sold products that can notify us when to order piece parts. I've seen a very similar request before. I'm sure many others here would find this helpful and would be willing to pay extra for these features (as I would).

From a customer:
"Help with inventory demand forecasting (clear view of how many units sold of a particular SKU across ALL platforms over a certain period of time)"

Great -- but lets cover the inventory basics (please and thank you) before we get too involved.. :-)

"About the forecasting, it would be awesome to have a dynamic forecasting taking into account the last 30 days of sales to know when the product will be out of stock. Another interesting feature would be to have insights on the re-order quantities. The last feature I can think of would be to alert the users when it's time to re-stock a product. For instance, if the delay to receive a product from our supplier is 4 weeks, then we would be notified 5 weeks before the product goes out-of-stock."
