Which Edition of Forecast Pro is Right for You?

To satisfy different corporate needs, three editions of Forecast Pro are available?Standard Edition, Extended Edition (XE) and Unlimited Edition.

Forecast Pro Basic is designed for individuals with modest forecasting needs. It utilizes time series approaches (techniques that create forecasts based strictly upon the past history) and allows you to forecast up to 10 items (such as products or SKUs) at a time.

Forecast Pro XE is our most popular edition. In addition to time series methods, Forecast Pro XE offers promotional modelling, causal modelling, decomposition, the ability to define and reconcile hierarchies, and the ability to forecast up to 100 items at a time.

Forecast Pro Unlimited offers much more than just the ability to forecast a larger number of items at a time.
