Forecast Pro Unlimited

Forecast Pro Unlimited is designed for larger-scale forecasting jobs, collaborative forecasting, working with complex hierarchies, maintaining multiple forecast overrides, documenting your forecasting sessions and integrating with other systems. The all-new Forecast Pro Unlimited Version 5 is a comprehensive state-of-the-art, flexible forecasting system that is extremely powerful yet surprisingly affordable.

With Forecast Pro Unlimited, forecasting thousands of SKU's is as easy as selecting a data file and clicking the forecast icon. With a few additional clicks of the mouse, you can graph the results, view forecast reports, make judgmental overrides and save the results.

Create Accurate Forecasts Automatically

Forecast Pro Unlimited uses the same proven methods found in Forecast Pro XE and Forecast Pro Basic: exponential smoothing, Box-Jenkins, event models, multiple-level models, seasonal simplification, low volume models and curve fitting. In addition, Forecast Pro Unlimited offers several simple methods—including moving averages, "same as last year," percentage growth and fixed values. Using Forecast Pro Unlimited's Expert Selection mode, you can let Forecast Pro automatically choose the best model or you can dictate the forecasting approach.

Add Your Judgment and Collaborate With Others

Incorporating business knowledge is often essential to establish the final forecast. Forecast Pro Unlimited's override facility allows you to adjust the statistical forecasts in a spreadsheet-like display which shows both the historical data and forecasted values. You can adjust single points, ranges or totals, using percentages, increments or by simply entering new values. If you've defined a multiple-level hierarchy, adjusting a value at any given level will automatically adjust all appropriate levels.

Working with colleagues can also improve the forecasting process. Using up to ten customizable override rows and handy comment fields, you can easily collaborate with your colleagues and document your changes to foster a truly collaborative forecasting process.

Integrate Smoothly with Other Systems

Integrating Forecast Pro Unlimited with your existing software systems is very straightforward. You can import data in a variety of flexible, easy-to-create formats including Excel and Lotus spreadsheets, text files and ODBC. You can also customize the content and format of the output. Whether you need a flat file to feed your ERP system, a spreadsheet for a colleague or a presentation-quality report to pass around the board room, Forecast Pro Unlimited's flexibility makes it simple to get the information you need.

Formalize Your Forecasting Process

Most forecasts need to be updated on a regular basis (often weekly or monthly). Forecast Pro Unlimited allows you to save and restore your forecasting sessions including the forecasting models used, the forecast overrides and their associated comments, and all of your reporting options. Returning to your forecasting session at a later date to continue your work, updating your forecasts when new data become available and sharing your work with colleagues—it's all a breeze with Forecast Pro Unlimited.

Forecast Pro Unlimited lays a solid foundation for a well-defined forecasting process by providing:

a consistent, objective approach to analyzing historical data;
documented visibility into forecast adjustments; and
a sustainable forecasting system that can be easily transferred to new team members

Offered at a fraction of the cost of Forecast Pro Unlimited, Collaborator allows others to view your forecasts—including graphs and reports—add overrides and comments, and save the results.
