Today all forecasting is at the product and dimension level.


For retail industry the merchandise planning begins at the category level and then to stores and then products.


Idea here is to leverage the product category hierarchy and build forecasting there with the ability to break down using a seasonality to product level.

second part to that is using the actual sales history for allocation to stores or sites/ warehouses.
