AI forecasting as a managed role

Forecasting as a role, not a model: demand, cash and inventory projections delivered weekly and explained.

Hire the role. We run the AI employee. A named person is accountable.

Most mid-market companies forecast in a spreadsheet, once a year, by the owner. Mesaya staffs forecasting as a weekly job: an AI employee that pulls your sales, stock and ledger data, produces demand, inventory and cash projections, explains the assumptions in plain language, and flags what changed — reviewed by a named account manager before it reaches you.

Who it's for, how a role runs, what it costs — from our CEO. Also in Español, Français, Italiano, Português, עברית, Русский and 中文 at mesaya.com/explainer.

The roles hired first

AI employees, each working a real job end to end.

Every role is configured from agents already running in production — never a blank prompt. Each one gets its own service account, limited to the permissions you grant, and works inside the tools you already run.

How it works

Three weeks from a scoping call to an AI employee at work. Then the next role.

Week 1

Discover & scope

A discovery call on your business and its bottlenecks; one role picked for the trial; a scoping call on systems, rules and approvals. Our audit agent reads your email and systems so the history is understood in days, without meetings.

Week 2

Deploy & train

A graduated agent configured for the role, pre-trained with your manager on examples and edge cases. Service accounts, permissions and approval gates set in your own systems.

Week 3 · free

Shadow mode

The agent works; a human approves everything consequential. Every deliverable logged with its approval chain. Outcomes verified at the source.

Month 2+

Earned autonomy

Approvals recede as results prove out; exceptions and samples stay reviewed. Your account manager stays in the loop — and scopes the next role.

Not a black box

Every number comes with its reasoning.

How it stays honest

Data you own, assumptions you can read.

A forecast you can't interrogate is a guess with a chart.

Data pulled from your own systems under read-only service accounts
Assumptions listed with each forecast; you can change them
Decisions — a reorder, a price change — stay with a person; the role proposes

Vero runs pricing and demand at Modani, and a trading & distribution client runs the same forecasting role.

You stay in control

Trust is earned — then extended.

How control works
  1. 1

    Shadow · week 1 — it drafts, you send.

  2. 2

    Ask first — it proposes, you approve.

  3. 3

    Routine — standard cases handled, exceptions to you.

  4. 4

    Autopilot — it runs; you get the digest.

Pricing

From $400 a month per role — and you only pay for completed work.

Simple as payroll, and a credit is always $1. No licenses, no implementation fee, month to month. Your first week is free.

Your plan
From $400

per month, per role. Each role is priced by its deliverables, so the minimum scales with the role.

Your credits at work
$1 = 1 credit

Every task has a credit price — a lead answered: 2, an invoice chased: 2, a report delivered: 6. Itemized on your log, reported as KPIs, reviewed by you.

Busy month?
Top up

Add credit batches when you need more done. You set a monthly cap; the bill never passes it.

In aggregate, a role lands at a fraction of what the same work costs in payroll. Rates shown are examples; your order sets yours, and outcome pricing is available where results are measurable — collections on dollars recovered, lead response on booked meetings. You see the exact price for your roles on the scoping call.

Proof

We ran it on our own company before offering it to yours.

Customer zero

Modani — 375 agents, seven departments

We founded Modani, a national furniture retailer, in 2007, sold it in 2018, and bought it back in 2024 to rebuild it on AI. Revenue is up 39% year over year with less than 40% of its former workforce. Every Mesaya role was graduated there first, on a live P&L.

Live clients

Clients across industries run these roles

The same roles run for clients in retail, distribution, professional services and hospitality — each inside their own tools, each with a named account manager. A live portal demo is available on request.

Questions we get

Before the scoping call.

Is it a black box?

No. Each forecast states its inputs, method and confidence; changes are explained; the assumptions are yours to edit.

What data do you need?

Sales history, stock levels and the ledger — pulled from your systems under read-only accounts. More signals improve it, but that's enough to start.

Weekly or daily?

Weekly by default; daily where the business moves that fast. The cadence is set on the scoping call.

Who acts on it?

You do. The role proposes reorders and price moves; a person approves; the purchasing desk executes if you run one.

Next step

Thirty minutes. One role. Free week.
