SKU Science review
A structured forecasting suite with strong hierarchy, KPI, and collaboration tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
SKU Science is a cloud-based demand planning and forecasting platform for manufacturers, distributors, food and beverage companies, life sciences organizations, and other operations teams. It supports SKU-level and multi-level forecasts, manual adjustments with reconciliation, collaborative consensus planning, and S&OP workflows. Its feature set also covers ABC/XYZ classification, product lifecycle events, promotions, substitutions, and dashboards that aggregate items by family, customer, store, or country. It is best suited to teams that need structured planning across several demand levels rather than a narrow forecasting calculator.
Pricing is organized into Launch, Core, and Enterprise. Launch costs $349 per month for annual billing and includes 1 user, up to 2,500 forecast units, automatic statistical forecasts, aggregated forecasts, multi-level forecasting, and ABC/XYZ classification. Core costs $625 per month for annual billing and keeps the 1-user and 2,500-unit limits while adding forecast history and archiving, advanced forecasting KPIs, dynamic dashboards, and product lifecycle management. Enterprise adds unlimited users, advanced AI forecasting, up to 200,000 forecast units, dedicated onboarding and support, plus integrations, API, and MCP access. A 15-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
For data exchange and ecosystem fit, SKU Science supports Excel and CSV uploads alongside API and MCP connections, with integrations listed for ERP and BI workflows. Plans can be locked, archived, compared, and exported for ERP, replenishment, or production use. That makes the platform a practical match for organizations coordinating sales, key accounts, finance, and operations inputs. Smaller teams should weigh the annual paid commitment and user and unit limits on the lower tiers. Teams specifically seeking demand sensing or scenario planning should choose a product whose documented scope includes those capabilities.
