Forthcast works with Google Sheets

The Forthcast + Google Sheets integration automatically delivers your demand forecasts, reorder schedules, and inventory reports to a shared spreadsheet on your schedule. Your finance, ops, and buying teams can access, review, and annotate critical inventory data without requiring Shopify or Forthcast logins.

How it works

• Team members can access the Google Sheet directly to review and add their own annotations without needing Shopify or Forthcast access

Why merchants use it

• Facilitate team collaboration by allowing stakeholders to review and annotate forecasts and reorder schedules directly in a familiar spreadsheet environment
• Maintain automated, recurring updates so your teams always work from the latest demand forecasts and inventory reports
