Frequently asked questions
Does Nory’s forecast account for football matches?
Yes. Forecasting Assistant reviews fixtures and kick-off times, and learns how much a match changes trade at each of your sites, hour by hour.
How should multi-site groups plan for match days?
Treat each venue as a separate operation. Some sites get the rush; others see customers leave the area. Nory creates a sales forecast for each location, so you can plan staffing, opening hours and stock site by site.
Is football the only event in the forecast?
Football is the first type of special event we’ve built in. Concerts, marathons and other big events change trade in the same way, and we’re adding them with customers.
