Step 5: Create a Forecast
A forecast tells Moselle what demand to plan for. You'll create an empty forecast on the Forecast page, then use Mo to populate it from your existing projections or sales data.
Time required: 20β30 minutes
No historical data in Moselle yet? You can still build a forecast. Upload your existing sales spreadsheet or revenue targets to Mo and let Mo write the values directly into your forecast.
Step 1: Create an Empty Forecast
Select Forecast from the left nav
Click + Create Plan
Enter:
Forecast name (e.g., "2025 Plan")
Start date
Number of months to plan ahead
Optionally check Master Plan to set this as your primary forecast
Click Next, then Save
You now have an empty forecast. Mo will fill in the values.
Step 2: Use Mo to Build Your Projections
Open a Mo chat session and upload your existing data β a sales spreadsheet, revenue targets, or any projection document you already have.
Example prompts to get started:
"Here's our sales data from last year. Can you write a 12-month forecast into our 2025 Plan?"
"We're targeting $2M in revenue next quarter. Distribute this across our SKUs based on our sales mix."
"Use this spreadsheet to build a forecast for Q2 and Q3."
Mo will review your data, propose forecast values, and show a preview table before writing anything.
Review before committing. Mo shows every proposed change in a preview table. You can edit individual values inline before confirming.
For a deeper guide on working with Mo for forecasting, see Build Your Forecast with Mo in Planning & Execution β Forecasting.
Alternatively: Use AI Models (if your sync has completed)
If your Shopify or Amazon integration has finished syncing historical sales data, you can generate forecasts directly from that data instead.
