Time-series forecasting software

IPredict Time-series Forecasting

The forecasting process is crucial for every manufacturer, retailer and in general for all businesses. This is because moving the finished goods or raw materials from suppliers to factories, to distributors, to customers takes the time needed for these physical objects to move from one location to another. Forecasting fills the gap between the business need to know in advance when demand will be present and the factory need to know when the order will come in since also the manufacturing process will take its time. Part suppliers will take their time to produce parts needed and time will be needed to assemble all items.

Every actor in this supply chain can then plan in advance when to produce, how much to produce, when to distribute, how much to distribute. The ability to produce a correct forecast can produce benefits across the entire supply chain such as lower costs, less inventory, and fewer stock-outs.

IPredict offers its unique data forecasting library that solves many problems related to Supply Chain Forecasting, Stock Market Forecasting, Demand Forecasting in an easy way directly in your Excel.
