A 2026 review by Lokad characterizes SKU Science as a lightweight demand-planning and forecast-governance application rather than a broad optimization platform.

Practical implication

The product’s strongest fit is where teams need baseline forecasts, hierarchy-aware edits, KPI review and rapid onboarding without transferring replenishment or allocation decisions into the tool.
