How to use this alongside your current process
For the first few weeks, treat this as a second pair of eyes — your existing OrderWise routine stays primary. Once you see where the system agrees with you (and where it usefully disagrees), the trust naturally moves over.
- Open the dashboard alongside your normal OrderWise review. The “Order now” list is the same conversation you’d have looking at OrderWise min-level alerts — except it’s already filtered to lines where our view of cover + lead-time + seasonal demand says you should be acting this week.
- Mentally tag each line: agree, disagree, or surprise. “Agree” lines confirm your judgement (and ours). “Surprise” lines — flagged by us but not on your radar — are where the value usually shows up. Disagreements are the most useful: they’re what tells us how your judgement differs from the model so we can tune it.
- Place orders the way you always do, in OrderWise. Nothing here writes back. We watch what you actually order and learn from the gap between our suggestion and your decision — without you having to type anything extra.
Viewing the 2026-06-16snapshot — the recommendations the engine would have produced on that date. When the live OrderWise connection is switched on, the same engine runs every night and this becomes a genuine “today” view, with a daily “what changed since yesterday” delta replacing the historical Nov→Jun comparison shown above.
Model performance (Phase 1 forecasting backtest on sample variants)
Each forecast was trained on earlier years and scored against a year it never saw. Per-line accuracy is inherently noisy for individual timber lines; the service-level reorder math above doesn’t require accurate per-line point forecasts — it routes volatile lines to deeper safety stock instead.
