Sales Planning & Forecasting

More and more, businesses now recognize that forecasts are the key to good decision making. To improve forecasts, they have to allocate more resources to this function and make forecasting more objective and less intuitive. This ongoing process of forecasting and budgeting is supported by PlanCaster. 

 

PlanCaster can generate forecasts in two ways:

 

• Sales planners can use the powerful statistical techniques to generate forecasts for thousands of items each period. 

• Account managers can make their sales forecasts and  budgets by using smart estimation and calculation techniques. 

 

 The system deals with:

 

• seasonality

• outliers

• sales days, holidays

• baseline forecasting

• overrides

• trade promotions

• delivery profiles
