| Reliable Forecasts Allow You to Reduce Inventory
and Production Costs |
| The sales forecasting process can be one of the most stressful and
disruptive processes of the year. With the Escape Sales
Forecast Planning Module, your sales force has the
tools to work closely with your customers
to establish their upcoming buying plans. This provides
your company with an accurate assessment of future
product demands to better plan
your production and inventory levels, and thus reduce
variable and fixed costs. |
| We provide your sales representatives with a summary of the buying
history for each customer. The rep can then automatically increase
the previous purchases by a target increase (percentage or dollar
value), and “tweak” the forecast as necessary. Forecasts
can be emailed to customers, for review. The forecasts are then transmitted
to the Escape Master Database. |
| You can then review each rep’s forecast, and combine all rep’s
forecasts to obtain an overview of the total projected
sales situation. As the year progresses, your sales
force can automatically make orders
from the projections, with the capability to modify
the projection before it is converted to an order. |
