AI-Powered Revenue Forecasting

Accurately forecast your future revenue and make smarter business decisions with our new AI-based forecasting tool. It analyzes your past performance to deliver a reliable daily prediction for the upcoming month.


How does it work?

Our AI connects directly to your sales history in Shyfter. It analyzes all your past data to detect trends and patterns unique to your business. Based on this analysis, it forecasts your likely revenue for each day of the selected month, as shown in the graph and table.


Why use AI forecasting?

Estimating future revenue is hard and time-consuming. AI forecasting gives you a reliable, data-backed baseline to:

  • Better plan staffing: Schedule the right number of staff for expected demand.
  • Optimize inventory: Adjust stock levels in anticipation of busy periods.
  • Make informed decisions: Plan promotions or events with financial insights.


What does the AI take into account?

The model is advanced and continuously learning. It considers:

  • Your full sales history available in Shyfter.
  • Trend detection (long-term increases or decreases).
  • Seasonality: Weekly and yearly patterns (e.g., busy Fridays, quiet Mondays).
  • Sections: If you use multiple sections (e.g., “Restaurant”, “Bar”), the AI provides forecasts per section.
  • Continuous learning: Every time you enter your actual daily revenue, the model gets smarter and improves future predictions.


How to activate it?

  1. Activate the “Performance” module via this link: Module Settings.
  2. Go to Settings > Performance > Revenue.
  3. Click “Generate Forecast” at the top of the page.


What about manual forecasts?

Your manual entries always take priority. The AI will never overwrite your input.

It only fills in days where the forecast is zero or AI-generated. Manual entries remain untouched.
