Abstract

A software application is configured to receive item demand data and user inputs associated with a construction project, aggregate the item demand data and the user inputs, and generate a forecast for the item demand. The software application can generate and transmit notices (e.g., purchase orders, transfer orders) to a supply chain system based on the forecast of the item demand. Alternatively, the software application can transmit the forecast of the item demand to another software application that is configured to generate and transmit notices (e.g., purchase orders, transfer orders) to the supply chain system.
