CHALLENGE

Businesses, today, struggle with ensuring forecast accuracy and visibility in calculating market demand and retailing estimates when trying to achieve their supply chain goals. Often, stakeholder buy-in for forecast modification is not available. Calculating market demand in real-time and basing forecast on a single error metric is another challenge. The inability to select dynamic models or handle correlation information for new stock keeping units (SKUs) has also become a major hindrance in demand forecasting in supply chain.
