Close the Loop: Building a Smarter Forecast



The State of Industry

The current chaotic global circumstances, including the invasion of Ukraine and sanctions placed on Russia as a result, are the latest events to rock the global supply chain. The situation is changing much faster than anyone could have expected. Companies are discovering that it isn't enough to be able to create a simple forecast. They need to be able to incorporate input from their customers, industry sources, and their own ship history on a continuous basis. This level of detail allows companies to quickly identify disruption indicators and proactively plan accordingly.


What You Need

The best manufacturers have the right tools to navigate treacherous waters and make the most informed decisions. Here are the components of the right tools:

  • A SKU level forecast fully integrated with the best market data available provides a level of granularity to confidently take correction action.

  • A rolling forecast that automatically refreshes which includes real-time updates from your customers and industry sources.

  • A forecast integration with ship history at the SKU level to gain closed-loop feedback and monitor the accuracy of your forecast on demand.
