A method and a system for forecasting demand of a distribution center and related stores are described herein. In particular, the system may identify a season and an item associated with the season. The system may generate initial forecasts of the item associated with the season for the plurality of stores. Based on the initial forecasts, the system may generate projected store sales. Accordingly, the system may generate projected store orders based on the projected store sales. Further, the system may generate an aggregate projected store order based on the projected store orders. Based on the aggregate projected store order, the system may generate a distribution center order of the item associated with the season.
