Focus Forecasting® is forecasting millions of items and millions of customers' sales everyday, all over the world. As part of the process for your company we tailor the parameters of the system to your company until the logic is as solid as gold. Companies have been using our forecasting systems since 1978! In those companies, forecasting is no longer the issue.
There have been, since the time of World War II, four observations of aggregations of data:
Formulas applying these observations to individual items have led consultants and software companies to proclaim "It is impossible to create usable forecasts of the future!" and for users to agree with them. Focus Forecasting® does not use mathematics , it uses simulation. It's like the difference between looking up the odds on rolling dice and actually rolling dice to get the odds. In the classroom both work. In your business only simulation works.
Focus Forecasting® provides a powerful front end to our Resource Planning systems. Quotes from our customers:
"During the recent recession our forecasting worked so well that this division was able to lend the Corporate parent $XX,000,000 from our inventory reductions!"
"Focus Forecasting® freed up enough cash that we purchased a competitor."
and now with MyGate:
"We don't want to change Focus Forecasting®. We want to extend it to our sales force, our customers, and our suppliers."
With the combination of Focus Forecasting® and MyGate:
We have installed trial systems as far away as South Africa. These systems use your company data. They are fully functional. They cost nothing until you are satisfied that the software is doing the job.
