Description:

Forecast Pro’s Expert Selection automatically chooses an appropriate forecasting model for most items. But when should you consider a different approach? And how can you compare your options?

Join Franklin Rea on November 19 for the next installment of our Succeeding with Forecast Pro webinar series. He’ll explain when to consider a custom model, how to identify forecasts that need attention, and how to use the new Compare Forecasts Utility to build and compare alternative models.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

● Use built in reports to identify forecast that need a closer look
● Build and compare custom models using the Compare Forecasts Utility
● Model brand new products with limited historical data
● Apply events to account for spikes in historical data
● Evaluate alternative models for itmes with high forecast errors

Whether you already use Forecast Pro or are exploring your forecasting options, you’ll see how custom models can help you address situations that call for a more hands-on approach.

We’ll present this webinar twice to accommodate different time zones. One registration allows you to attend either session.
