SmartForecasts
SmartForecasts® is a statistical forecasting solution available on Smart’s Inventory Planning and Optimization Platform. It provides a statistically sound, objective foundation for your sales and operations planning process (S&OP). SmartForecasts automatically selects the most accurate forecasting method, allows users to fine-tune statistical and user-defined models, enables forecast and historical overrides, and automatically measures forecast error and bias. Forecast overrides are tracked and historical data is automatically updated eliminating the manual effort accompanying spreadsheet-based solutions.
