-
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. -
Appropriate methodology for forecasting of demand: Prophecy
offers far more relevant functionality
for business sales forecasting than sales forecasting solutions that
naively throw statistical algorithms at the task, are hard to use and
offer little else to help the forecasters. (N.b. Most
statistical algorithms require more sales history as input than is
practical or relevant in the majority of business forecasting
scenarios! 2 years would be considered the absolute minimum -
yet consider how much your business has changed over the last 2
years and whether that history is actually valid input into a future
forecast.) -
Proven software and approach to sales forecasting. Prophecy's approach to integrated sales forecasting is based on many years of successful, hands on, full time sales forecasting experience in major companies, as well as the valued feedback of many Prophecy users in the UK and across the globe.
-
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 distribution/collection processes of sales
forecasting spreadsheets. Workflow management (i.e. forecast,
review, reforecast etc) is built in, enabling efficient coordination
of the sales forecast process. -
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 forecasting accuracy analysis will help forecasters identify and learn from mistakes earlier. Prophecy will help you avoid making the same mistake twice!
-
A versatile software tool. Empower your forecasters to productively forecast, plan and re-plan sales, prepare budgets, monitor, review and report. All within a single, easy to use system. Take time out of the sales forecasting process and minimise the mundane, non-value added activities previously associated with forecasting of demand.
