| Are
you in need of a forecasting solution that saves you a
lot of time, yet improves forecasting reliability and
accuracy? Are you spending more time manipulating forecasting
models than actually producing results? Don’t you wish you
could get the forecasts you need more accurately...
inexpensively... and faster and easier?
Now you can with PEERForecaster™!
If
you are spending five or six-figures for your forecasting solution
(or perhaps just that much for maintenance), then you may be in
a position to help protect your company’s valuable
resources.
Forecasting
technology has improved so much in recent years
that most demand forecasting software providers, especially the
‘larger players’, may have fallen behind in providing
improved solutions to their clients.
Delphus
is introducing PEERForecaster,
an Excel Add-in with all the horsepower of a full-fledged
forecast
modeling tool
without the overhead commonly associated with many forecasting
solutions. This Add-in is included on the CD that comes with
the book Forecasting:
Practice and Process for Demand Management, authored by Hans
Levenbach and James P. Cleary.
The
international M3 forecasting competition has
established that the family of "damped
trend" models generally outperform the more conventional
models used for forecasting trends and seasonal data. This
information has been published in the peer-reviewed International
Journal of Forecasting. Yet, these models are rarely,
if ever, found in any of the mainstream ERP/SCM demand planning systems available
in the market today! Damped trend models are part of the
family of State Space models offered in PEER Forecaster, along
with the more established simple, Holt, Holt-Winters exponential
smoothing and Box-Jenkins ARIMA models. |
