How Fabrikatör fits furniture
The planning toolkit, tuned for furniture
Forecasting
Size the container before you commit
Demand forecasts per SKU show what a 90-day horizon actually needs — so the container is full of sellers, not hopes.
Explore Forecasting →Forecasted demand — 3-Seat Sofa Actual Forecast
Purchase Orders
Quarter-long lead times, on schedule
Order dates work back from factory lead times, so replacement stock ships before the current batch sells out.

Backorders & Pre-orders
Sell big-ticket items before they land

Why furniture inventory is hard
01
Every order is a container-sized bet
You don’t reorder a sofa — you commit to a container of them, months of cash locked in one decision. The math has to be right before you sign.
02
Lead times are measured in quarters
90–120 days from PO to warehouse means you’re always buying for a market you can’t see yet. Late realizations can’t be fixed with air freight.
03
Overstock has a rent bill
Bulky items make storage expensive. Every unsold bed frame pays warehouse rent monthly — overstock hurts twice.
04
Stocked vs. made-to-order is a balancing act
Which pieces earn a warehouse slot and which should be pre-order only? Without demand data per SKU, it’s a gamble either way.
This is the week Fabrikatör replaces.

Furniture questions, answered
Our lead times are 90–120 days. Can Fabrikatör plan that far out?
Yes — forecasts extend across your full lead time and order dates are computed backwards from arrival, so you always know the last responsible day to place the PO.
Can it help us plan container loads?
The freight planner works volume and weight into your purchase orders, so you can see how a draft PO fills a container before you commit.
We sell some items on pre-order only. Does that fit?
Yes — backorders and pre-orders show customers delivery dates pulled from your open POs, which is exactly how made-to-order and long-lead pieces should sell.
How does it decide what we should keep in stock?
Stock-cover and sell-through data per SKU makes the stocked-vs-made-to-order call objective: fast movers earn warehouse slots, slow ones move to pre-order.
