<![CDATA[In the growing era of e-commerce, stock management is crucial. Problems arise in forecasting sales in order to achieve effective stock management. This research uses the time series analysis method by focusing on comparing the accuracy of three forecasting methods: Single Exponential Smoothing (SES), Double Exponential Smoothing (DES), and Triple Exponential Smoothing (TES/Holt-Winter). This research provides a solution by comparing the performance of the three methods based on the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) results and prediction graphs. The goal is to determine the most accurate forecasting method using the time series analysis method with several stages, namely data preprocessing, train/test split, modeling, and performance metrics measurement. based on the test results show MAE SES 1077, DES 96, and TES (Holt-Winter) 101. Although DES has a lower MAE, TES (Holt-Winter) provides better accuracy, especially through prediction graph analysis. Holt-Winter is recognized as the most effective method in forecasting future sales, reliable for proper stock management in the dynamic e-commerce industry. This approach is expected to improve efficiency and accuracy in enterprise stock management, support the growth of online businesses, and contribute to the literature and practice of stock management. The use of time series analysis methods, especially Holt-Winter, is considered an important strategic step to optimize sales prediction, positively impact stock management, and create a competitive advantage in a growing market]]>
