Forthcast + Judge.me Review Signals for Demand Forecasting

TL;DR: Forthcast's live Judge.me integration uses review data as an additional demand signal for Shopify forecasting. It does not replace sales history or merchant review of draft purchase orders.

How it works

A merchant adds a Judge.me API token in Forthcast settings. A nightly sync reads ratings, review counts, and review velocity by SKU, then Forthcast evaluates those signals alongside Shopify sales and inventory data.

• A Wilson Score helps identify products with strong review evidence.
• A Launch chip identifies newly launched SKUs whose review velocity is accelerating.
• The high-protection tooltip can show a 99.5% service level for a qualifying SKU.

What merchants should know

The integration reads Judge.me review signals. Forthcast still drafts purchase orders for the merchant to review and send.

Pricing and availability

Forthcast pricing is $19.99 per month flat for any catalog size, with a 14-day trial billed through Shopify. Integration availability does not change that product price.
