Forecasting is an age-old business process – which still challenges most businesses today. To be able to consistently and accurately forecast Sales, Demand, Costs, Inventory, etc is probably the #1 priority for almost everyone.

Often, the inability to get a good forecast leads to significant business impact.  Inaccurate forecasting results in over-provisioning or under-utilization of resources, over-stocking or under-stocking, which results in high wastage and costs, affecting the bottom line and the success of the business.

The goal of a good forecast is to get you enough confidence to make  sound business decisions
