摘要

Systems, methods, and other embodiments are disclosed that are associated with forecasting and management of an item to be promoted via tier pricing. In one embodiment, historical sales data of the item are analyzed and a numerical amount, representing a total number of the item sold, is distributed across a plurality of tier discount ranges of a tier pricing promotion plan for the item. The distribution forms a plurality of distributed values and is based at least in part on discounted sales of the item reflected in the historical sales data. A combined discount value is generated based at least in part on the plurality of tier discount ranges and the plurality of distributed values. A promotional demand value is generated based at least in part on the combined discount value.
