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.
