• Produce intelligent sales forecasts, more quickly, more effectively and with none of the tedious manual processes associated with using spreadsheets for the forecasting of demand.

• Rapid implementation.  Prophecy can be implemented very quickly - it is not a major IT project!  Data can be sourced from any ODBC/OLEDB data source or from flat files.

• Designed specifically for business forecasting.  Prophecy is currently in use in diverse industries worldwide ranging from chilled desserts, confectionary, pet foods, breakfast cereals, white goods, personal care / beauty and DIY.

• Forecast revenue and profit as well as quantities.  Prophecy allows forecasts to be made not just for volume, but also for selling prices, cost of goods etc.. All these measures update in real time and are available over the full hierarchy of products and customers.  Instantly understand the impact of volume changes on the revenue and profit plan.  Compare them to Budgets and previous years, all within Prophecy's powerful (combined) forecasting and reporting environment.

• Appropriate and proven methodology for forecasting of demand: Prophecy offers far more relevant functionality for business sales forecasting than solutions that naively throw statistical algorithms at the task, are hard to understand and offer few alternative forecaster aids.   (Statisticians typically state that 2 years history is the absolute minimum with which a statistical forecast can be calculated.  Consider how much your business has changed over the last 2 years and whether that history represents a valid input into a future forecast.)  Prophecy distils many years of professional business sales forecasting experience into a proven, powerful and well thought out software solution.

• Team forecasting.  Prophecy is naturally multi-user and was designed from the ground upwards to allow multiple forecasters to simultaneously forecast their customers or products without the need for tedious manual consolidations or the distribution / collection / consolidation processes associated with sales forecasting spreadsheets.  Workflow management (i.e. forecast, review, reforecast etc) is built in, enabling efficient coordination of the sales forecast process.  Forecast changes from multiple users are consolidated in real time.

• Compare the Sales Forecast with Budgets, Plans and Previous Years.  Prophecy helps you analyse forecasts versus budget and previous years at any level of product, customer and time detail, for revenue and profit as well as volumes.  That way demand forecasting is actively integrated into business plan monitoring and delivery.  Understand customer profitability, sales analysis and reporting etc..  Combine more accurate forecasting of demand and more controlled delivery of the company plan using Prophecy.

• Puts forecasters and reviewers in control.  Forecasters and managers will be able to identify and understand trends as soon as they start developing, spot inaccurate sales forecasts as they are entered and instantly quantify the financial impact of forecast changes at any level of product and customer detail on the overall sales plan. 

• Accuracy analysis.  Single-click sales forecasting accuracy analysis will help forecasters identify and learn from mistakes earlier.
