For Demand teams

Better predictions, saving time with AI

As consumer behavior changes due to cost cutting and consumption trends, organizations in the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) industry require highly accurate forecasts. Meanwhile demand teams face burdensome manual work. As a result, volume predictions are often at a higher level in the product and account hierarchy, making them less useful for commercial purposes.

 

Visualfabriq’s Demand Forecast Master™ provides CPG teams with a reliable baseline forecast at the lowest level of the product and account hierarchy. Artificial intelligence (AI) modelling improves accuracy and predictability. Automated integration of relevant data sources generates both sell-in- and consumption-based baseline predictions. By including trade promotion volumes, it provides an unconstrained forecast as a basis for commercial planning. Get ready for reduced errors and aligned decision-making.

Game changers for demand teams

Enjoy low total cost of ownership

Visualfabriq offers its software as a service (SaaS). All customers use the latest codebase, without the need to upgrade – ever. This is paired with low implementation and maintenance costs: 100% configuration drives fast deployment while unlimited scaling capabilities allow for constant growth of your organization and data.

Improve efficiency through seamless data integration

With so many relevant data sources, seamless integration of ex-factory data and external data sources (syndicated data, EPoS etc.) is key. Visualfabriq enables customers to manage all sources efficiently. The result? Improved outlook reliability and the ability to create win-win investment strategies.

Save time by eradicating repetitive tasks

Manual administration, account proposal generation and audit trails take up too much time in CPG organizations. Advanced automation reduces reliance on manual work and frees up time to take those actions that really make a difference.

Drive efficiency with data alignment across the organization

The Visualfabriq revenue forecasting and optimization software is created as a single, integrated ecosystem logically connecting the different solutions to the Revenue Plan and each other. This ensures full alignment of data, driving a one-number principle throughout organizations.

Remove manual work through advanced master data management

Changes in master data, especially assortment changes, eat away valuable time within CPG organizations. Visualfabriq’s Product Lifecycle, a standard feature of the software, handles all product switching and automatically applies it throughout the revenue growth software.

Increase predictability and drive optimization

Visualfabriq has embedded artificial intelligence (AI), driving the ability to create promotional scenarios and optimize “as you plan.”
