Mastering Seasonality

Download the Whitepaper: Mastering Seasonality

Seasonality touches every supply chain — from snow shovels in winter to golf carts in spring. But managing it with static, outdated tools can leave you overstocked one month and scrambling the next.

This whitepaper unpacks why traditional forecasting methods fall short — and how GAINS’ Decision Engineering & Orchestration (DEO) platform transforms seasonality from a recurring headache into a competitive edge.

You’ll learn how leading companies like Continental Battery Systems have mastered the rhythm of demand by designing for seasonality, not around it. With GAINS DEO, planners can anticipate shifts, simulate disruptions, and orchestrate smarter decisions across every SKU, month, and market.

In this whitepaper, you’ll discover how to:

  • Map SKU-level demand curves by month

  • Adjust safety stock targets dynamically using deviation-aware models

  • Integrate cultural calendars like Lunar New Year into your forecasts

  • Simulate seasonal risk across inventory, transport, and service levels

  • Empower your teams to act early — and confidently

Predicting the future is impossible. Preparing for it is essential.
