1. Sign in

Use the sign-in link and the personal login in your welcome email. Each person has their own login, so every change you save is recorded under your name. Please don’t share your password; ask us for another login instead.

​

2. Read the forecast

Open Forecast grid. It shows the forecast for each product (a beer in a given pack, for example a 4-pack of 473 ml cans) for each week, with weeks starting on a Monday. Numbers are in selling units (the stated pack) and in hectolitres.

• The chart above the grid overlays past years of shipments so you can see the seasonal pattern.
• Shipments and liquor-board store sales are labelled separately. Store sales lag shipments by several weeks.

​

3. Check packaging

Open Materials plan. It shows which packs can’t be filled with the packaging on hand and on order, and the date by which to order more. Late dates are marked as overdue.

​

4. Make a change

Planners can edit the draft plan:

• Click a future week on the Forecast grid to set an override or a promotion.
• Use Demand events to add an extra order or a percentage lift for a product and date range.

Every change asks for a short note. The note, your name and the time go into the decision log.

​

5. Share it

Changes stay in the draft until someone publishes. Open Published plan, review what changed, and publish a numbered version when the team should see it. Viewer mode always shows the latest published version.
