Business Central Extension Built By Supply Chain Experts Helps Improve Planning Accuracy
CHICAGO, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Adroit, a trusted provider of supply chain solutions for Microsoft Dynamics Business Central users, announced the launch of Adroit Forecaster, an AI-powered forecasting extension designed for mid-enterprise Food & Beverage and discrete manufacturing companies.
Built to solve one of the most common and misunderstood planning challenges facing midsize manufacturers, Adroit Forecaster helps organizations address what often is believed to be a demand planning problem by enabling them to discover that the real issue lies in inaccurate or incomplete forecasting. By combining historical sales data, statistical modeling, and AI-driven insights, Adroit Forecaster enables teams to build more accurate forecasts and make smarter, faster business decisions.
How it works:
Adroit Forecaster delivers a modern, intuitive forecasting experience designed for real-world collaboration. It provides Finance, Sales, Operations, and Purchasing teams with an intuitive dashboard and a single source of truth within Business Central—ensuring alignment across departments and eliminating version-control chaos.
Key capabilities include:
- Comprehensive Data Input and Validation Simplifies ingesting historical data from Excel or CSV files and validates customer, item, and location data against Business Central to ensure clean, usable inputs.
- AI Assistant for Forecast Optimization: Analyzes historical trends and recommends the most practical models with an AI assistant that refines forecasts and improves accuracy over time.
- Dashboarding and Visualization: Highlights forecast accuracy, comparisons, and performance metrics through an integrated dashboard, accessible within Business Central and Power BI.
"Forecasting has become a strategic imperative for manufacturers navigating supply chain volatility and tighter margins," said Rich Sides, CEO at Adroit. "As experts in supply chain optimization at the midmarket level, we built Adroit Forecaster to empower mid-enterprise companies to replace what we've seen as inadequate spreadsheets and overly complex forecasting tools. It is an intelligent, collaborative solution built directly into Business Central and helps organizations by giving them an easy-to-use tool for accurate modeling."
In addition to direct sales, Adroit is expanding its reach through a new Channel Partner Program, enabling Business Central partners and consultants to offer Adroit Forecaster to their clients. The program is designed for partners who want to help clients bridge the gap between expensive enterprise tools and error-prone Excel forecasting processes.
"My customers need reliable, accessible forecasting tools without the headaches of manual data entry or the high cost of enterprise options," said Majid Haddad, Senior Dynamics 365 Business Central Consultant, TEXO, an Adroit Channel Partner. "With Adroit Forecaster, I can offer just that while helping organizations realize that many broader demand planning challenges can be solved through more transparent, accurate forecasting."
Client results underscore Adroit Forecaster's impact. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory successfully used the tool to improve demand planning and inventory control in Business Central, achieving 60% greater forecasting accuracy by aligning production with real-time market trends.
