Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP)Provider Steelwedge introduces Breakthrough Statistical Forecastin

Dec. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- The new forecasting engine provides Steelwedge customers with a breakthrough approach to statistical forecasting that not only improves statistical accuracy but also supports attach-rate forecasting and enables customers to ensure that calculations are performed at the optimum level of detail.

While the first generation Steelwedge forecasting engine -- based on the principles and approaches pioneered by Dr. J. Tom Mentzer – provided Steelwedge customers a best-in-class solution, the new Steelwedge statistical engine offers an entirely new approach and methodology that further raises the bar for others.  

“This project represents the fruition of nearly two years of concentrated R&D effort,” said Rick Blair, VP of Strategic Services at Steelwedge.  “It incorporates customer feedback and offers the ideal balance between a best-fit approach and the ability to tailor the forecast to specific circumstances.”  “We are pleased that our customers can now reap the benefits of further improvements in forecast accuracy based on our extensive research and development.” said Steelwedge CEO, Glen Margolis.
