What is the difference between forecasting and sales planning?
Dynamic forecast with simultaneous optimization of safety stock
DISKOVER automatically optimizes statistical and AI-generated forecasts together with
safety stocks using empirical simulation for each
individual item. You can determine which optimization targets
are relevant for you, e.g. required delivery readiness with the lowest possible stock.
- Simulatively optimized forecasts
- Automatic outlier correction
- Multi-level grouping of plan values "on the fly"
- Integration of the field sales force
- Reconciliation of statistical forecasts with sales planning
- Provision of special forecasting mechanisms
Precise demand forecast
DISKOVER offers powerful, simulatively optimized forecasts based on
statistical methods and neural networks (AI), which are effective even with irregular
requirements and delivery readiness rates of over 95%.
Thanks to automatic outlier correction, separate seasonal and trend analysis and
distribution-free methods, even high delivery readiness levels can be reliably
. Special stochastic forecasting methods improve the forecasting of
items with irregular, strongly fluctuating requirements.
We will be happy to show you what else is possible
in a personal demo.
… how low-stock and resilient you can design your supply chain,
depends crucially on the quality of your market or demand forecasts.
Valid sales forecast
DISKOVER can be used to compare statistical forecasts with sales planning
. In addition, the sales force, for example, can be easily and conveniently integrated into the forecasting process at
.
Of course, forecasts in DISKOVER can be created and displayed not only at item level, but also at
item-region or item-distribution-channel level
. Each employee receives the forecast values for their area of responsibility
. The planned values can be grouped “on the fly” into any number of levels and
aggregated and corrected at any level. Historical and
future adjustments to sales prices are taken into account.
We will be happy to show you what else is possible
in a personal demo.
…the more irregular the demand for an item is, the more important it is
that the sales department is involved in creating the forecasts.
Promotions and/or projects cannot normally be forecast purely
statistically either.
End-of-Life Forecasting
DISKOVER provides special forecasting mechanisms, including predecessor-successor relationships, structural break analyses, start-up and phase-out curves or phase-out analyses across the entire supply chain, for forecasting new products, forecasting remaining requirements for
discontinued products, forecasting requirements for spare parts and
end-of-life requirements determination for discontinued electronic components.
We will be happy to show you what else is possible
in a personal demo.
If up to a third of all articles are newly developed each year and numerous articles are withdrawn from the market, the success of the entire planning process depends crucially on the forecast quality for newly launched and discontinued articles.

"When we introduced DISKOVER, we initially only tested individual article groups to see whether the forecasts met our needs. After a few weeks, however, it quickly became clear that the results were excellent. We then planned all articles with the new tool in one go. The introductory phase, during which there are naturally also doubts as to whether everything is correct, was therefore quickly overcome."
