The forecast

Tomorrow's sales, before tonight's close.

Every morning lowboy forecasts the next seven days for every store, hour by hour, from your own sales history and the weather on the way. Then it turns that number into a schedule check, a prep list and an order.

How it's made

Your sales, plus the weather.

01

Your own history

Each store's sales from your register, by day and by hour, through yesterday's close.

02

The weather on the way

The daily weather forecast is built in, and weather alerts are flagged on the day they hit.

03

Seven days, by the hour

A fresh forecast every morning for each store, with expected sales for every hour you're open.

A number and a range

It tells you how sure it is.

Every day comes with a range, sized by how far off that store's forecasts usually land. A tight range is a day you can plan to the hour. A wide one is a day to plan for both ends.

The scorecard

It grades itself every morning.

Each forecast is scored against what the register rang the next day. The typical miss for that store sits right on the screen, so your managers know how hard to lean on the number.
