Precision Forecasting for Better Demand Planning
Your solution for a better consensus forecast to drive demand planning and your S&OP process
Getting the most from forecasting involves the ability to run
analysis, share and collaborate with others, and get access to
the array of metrics to evaluate and improve your results. Most
systems do 2 of the 3 of these well. Halo is the first to blend
an advanced forecasting engine with a simple to use business
intelligence platform. With Halo, you can simply connect to and
prepare any array of data from across your systems, cleanse that
data, and manage your forecasting reporting. Forecasting can
be done with top down, bottom up, and middle out strategies
depending on the business need. Halo’s hierarchy builder enables
your company to forecast from the SKU to the business level,
then reconcile those results for consistency. Halo provides you
the executive dashboards and reporting to drive forecast-based
planning through the organization.
Maximize Profits and Service Levels
Reduce inventory levels and stock-outs
Delivering the right product at the right time to the best location is
the fastest way to increase efficiencies and free up working capital.
A good forecast is the foundation for solid demand planning.
Omni-channel marketers can use Halo Forecasting to optimize
inventory decisions by channel.
Identify risk and opportunity from demand drivers
Most forecasting systems provide a view of the future. However,
few make it easy to drill down into the drivers of that prediction.
Halo Forecasting provides powerful drill-down, ad hoc and reporting
features to examine forecast dynamics from any perspective.
Simplify consensus forecasting in your S&OP process
A simple and flexible workflow is key to collaborating on a consensus
forecast. Halo provides a single interface for establishing and
managing a planning cycle with multiple participants, scenario
planning, and management reporting.
