How does the First Allocation module work?

The First Allocation module assigns an initial amount of stock to stores when new products are introduced.

Based on our “demand forecast”, we allocate enough stock of each product in each store that is going to receive it to cover sales during this time with a very high probability. Typically, not all stock is sent in one go and adjustments are made later on by sending more stock to stores or moving stock to nearby stores.
