Introducing Forecast Pro TRAC

Business Forecast Systems, Inc. (BFS) is pleased to announce Forecast Pro TRAC, the newest member of the Forecast Pro software family and our most comprehensive product yet. Forecast Pro TRAC combines all of the forecasting capabilities you expect in a Forecast Pro product with the advanced data visualization and analytic tools you need to execute a complete world-class forecasting process.

According to BFS co-founder and CEO Eric Stellwagen, "prior to the release of Forecast Pro TRAC, Forecast Pro Unlimited was our flagship product. We listened carefully to what our Forecast Pro Unlimited users told us they needed in a forecasting system and their core requests—multiple units of measure, multiple hierarchies, exception reporting, forecast accuracy tracking, team forecasting—had more to do with the manipulation of the forecasts than the generation of the forecasts. We realized what they were really asking for was for us to build a new product—and the result is Forecast Pro TRAC."

Rave Reviews
Prior to the official launch of Forecast Pro TRAC, it was in use at numerous client sites in beta-test form. The response from these early adopters has been uniformly enthusiastic. Here’s a sampling of what they’ve had to say:

"Over the years I’ve been forced to work outside of forecast systems with spreadsheets and report writers either due to a lack of functionality that is required in the real world, or the cost-prohibitive nature of large-scale demand planning packages—not a good way to work. Forecast Pro TRAC provides me with the same powerful Forecast Pro statistical models that I’ve come to rely on and adds the flexibility and functionality to allow me to support 100% of my process with one application. My reports, accuracy measurement, forecast overrides, and notes are all now in one comprehensive tool. What I need to be effective, nothing more, nothing less."

"The new developments with Forecast Pro TRAC take our forecasting process to new levels. We now have the opportunity to have a fully integrated S&OP process using just one tool rather than many disparate ones. I’m looking forward to seeing the benefits that will accrue to our business from such a strategy."

"Forecast Pro TRAC brings together hierarchy arrangement capabilities, tracking and forecast archiving and exception reporting together with a highly automated forecasting tool. This answers the forecaster's need for an effective and efficient tool."
