Forecast targets
Forecast targets
It allows the customization of sales targets for each product or market segment for specific time intervals. This enables an even more precise and dynamic approach to demand management. Not only does it enable the possibility of setting clear and measurable targets, but it also recalculates demand forecasts by considering the sales made in the same interval. This approach makes it possible to adjust allocation and quantities in the remaining intervals, ensuring optimal resource allocation and more efficient inventory management.
