Business Analytics Suite™ Powerful Analytics

Most Accurate Forecasts

With over 12 years of R&D into our forecasting technology, Vanguard produces the most accurate forecasts of any forecasting competitors.

By combining accuracy and ease-of-use, many Vanguard customers use the Business Analytics Suite instead of the forecasting modules included with their expensive enterprise planning systems (such as Oracle and SAP) because Vanguard simply delivers better results at a fraction of the cost (and time).

Analytics

• Forecasting:
  Extrapolating historical performance data to aid in planning.
• Monte Carlo Simulation:
  Modeling uncertainty to help manage business risk and simulate complex systems.
• Decision Tree Analysis:
  Choosing the best course of action when future outcomes are uncertain.
• Sensitivity Analysis:
  Determining which assumptions drive your decisions most.
• Optimization:
  Finding the best solution to very complex problems subject to business constraints.
• General Modeling:
  Tackling logically complex problems and communicating your ideas clearly.
• Data Analysis:
  Pulling valuable information from historical or experimental data.

Vanguard will automatically find the best forecast method and parameters to fit your historical data.

You can override Vanguard's selection of method, parameters, or both.

Advanced Outlier Rejection technology will automatically identify missing data or inconsistent data that should be excluded from your forecast analysis.

Vanguard's Outlier Rejection will even detect level shifts that are common when the addition or deletion of inventory items affects a related item.
