Try searching for software under the heading of "Fashion Inventory" which is a demand forecasting system. IBM spent great gobs of money devising such a system for department stores eons ago when I worked for them as a systems engineer.

It works great with our stock packaging division, not so great with our custom packaging division. The main reason for this is short life-cycle products in our custom packaging division. Extremely short life-cycles mean little historical data to forecast future demand. Once enough history gets in there for the history to meaningful, the product has reached end of life. I don't know that a system has been invented yet to solve that problem though... -----Original Message----- From: Steve Kunzman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 10:07 AM To: U2 Users Discussion List Subject: RE: Sales Forecasting System I have used a package called Demand Solutions www.demandsolutions.com with Epicor Dataflo. You initially export 30 months of sales history and then each month export the newest month and the oldest rolls off. The software generates a forecast which you can import back into the MPS/MRP system. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Barry Brooks Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 10:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sales Forecasting System Hi Everyone We are looking for a 'standalone' Sales Forecasting System including demand forecasting techniques and preferably using a MV database. Or alternately a Sales Forecasting System that can be integrated sensibly into a MV application. Any clues ??
