📊 Forecast Change Logs

We may have gotten ahead of ourselves last week talking Forecast Change Log filters — because the full Forecast Change Logs feature deserves its own spotlight.

Confido’s Forecast Change Log gives teams a centralized view of every modification across retailer and SKU combinations.

Now, you can easily:

• Track what changed, who changed it, and when.
• See the downstream impact of updates across planning groups or versions.
• Align faster across teams and build trust in the numbers.

Need a refresh? Watch the last Forecast Change Logs webinar, which previewed many of these features live and don’t miss Part 2 this Thursday.

🧠 Recommendations on Confirmed Opportunities

Confido has fine-tuned our recommendations on opportunities, recognizing when distribution expansions are confirmed and intelligently adjusting recommendation logic to reflect that new reality.

Here’s how it works:

• Before launch: No recommendations on confirmed opportunities (to avoid noise).
• During rollout: After a grace period (which can be configured in settings), Confido will highlight any store count discrepancies — for example, if 200 stores were planned but only 180 are scanning.
• After ramp-up: Recommendations resume as normal once the rollout stabilizes.

Talk to your CSM today to learn how your team can best utilize opportunity recommendations.

⏳ Promotion Upload Status

No more guessing if your uploads went through.

You can now track the progress of your promotion uploads as they process — seeing exactly how much has completed and when errors occur.

It’s simple transparency that saves time and eliminates upload confusion.

ICYMI: Add Scenario Promos to Forecast Versions 📈

You can now export promotions directly from a Scenario into a live Forecast Version — no need to create a new one.

• Focus on promos only: Export just the promo calendar without pulling in other values.
• Protect your main forecast: Avoid impacting active forecasts (like your 2026 plan).
• Work account by account: Convert Scenario promos into existing versions whenever you’re ready.

Cleaner forecasting, simpler promo testing, and total flexibility in how you merge planning data.
