Meridian v2.4.0
Docs / Getting started / Quickstart

Quickstart

Connect a source, run a sync, and pull your first forecast — end to end.

1. Connect a source

meridian connect erp \
  --type netsuite \
  --account 1234567 \
  --role 3

The CLI opens a browser window for consent. Meridian requests read scopes only.

2. Run the first sync

meridian sync --full

A first full sync of roughly 50,000 SKUs takes eight to twelve minutes. Later syncs are incremental and usually finish inside a minute.

3. Fetch a forecast

curl https://api.meridian.example/v1/forecasts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MERIDIAN_API_KEY" \
  -d sku=SKU-10492 \
  -d location=WH-BERLIN \
  -d horizon=28
{
  "sku": "SKU-10492",
  "location": "WH-BERLIN",
  "horizon_days": 28,
  "forecast": { "p10": 412, "p50": 640, "p90": 968 },
  "confidence": "medium",
  "drivers": ["seasonality", "promotion_2026_08"]
}
Reading the range

P50 is the median, not the average. P10 and P90 bound the middle 80% of outcomes — order to P90 only when a stockout costs more than the carrying cost.

4. Review order proposals

meridian proposals list --location WH-BERLIN --status pending

Proposals never execute on their own. A buyer approves each one in the dashboard, or through POST /v1/proposals/:id/approve.
