Demand forecasting and planning consulting services
Forecast Solutions helps companies with all
aspects of sales
forecasting
from short term demand planning and
forecasting
to sales and operations planning and
budgeting. We aim to complement
existing
systems and skills in a completely flexible way, undertaking projects
large and small, with one-off hoc or regular involvement as necessary.
Many years of practical experience
are called upon to deliver expert demand analysis and forecasting
improvement and to provide effective advice on demand
planning, sales forecasting methods, procedures and forecast accuracy measurement.
Powerful specialist software can be used to create a demand forecast
for
comparison and evaluation purposes or for the
provision of an
expert demand forecasting service.
In demand forecasting the best
methods may vary
depending on the time horizon involved. In medium
to long range
forecasting, such as for sales and operations
planning it
is important to reflect product life cycles and expected
changes in competition and technology. On the other
hand, short
term forecasting and planning is more
to do with detailed
tracking of short term demand in order to minimise inventory and
maximise customer service.
