ForecastPro Features

Demand forecast

Forecast Pro automatically choose the best forecasting method for each product you sell. In seconds, it processes thousands of items considering if they peak at certain times of the year, if they go up or down, and how they react when you make promotions.

‍

On the other hand, Datup It offers the Module specialized in Demand forecasting which generates different forecasting scenarios driven by ML and Artificial Intelligence models, considering more than 200 external variables, synchronizing with multiple data sources such as ERP, WMS, CRM, TMS or whatever your business requires.

Forecasting new releases

Forecast Pro is able to estimate the sale of new products. When you release something new, Forecast Pro borrows the history of similar products you've sold before. Let's say you discontinued a line and launched a similar one, or you opened a new store: instead of guessing, the system uses real patterns from what already worked.

‍

Datup use a similar system, where, taking the history of similar products, you can have an estimated demand for new products soon to be launched.

‍

This saves you from typical release errors. You don't run out of stock at first because you underestimated, nor do you end up with full warehouses because you went too optimistic.

S&OP collaboration

Forecast Pro brings together all the numbers you need to see: forecasts, current inventory, pending orders, sales budgets. You can assemble customized reports and adjust figures in an Excel-like view where you work at different levels (by region, by category, whatever you need).

‍

With Datup you can collaborate with other teams on the same panel, where they can add annotations, estimated orders, in a single demand forecast.

Forecast accuracy measurement

Forecast Pro Save all your previous forecasts and compare them with what actually happened. You can see how successful the system was, how successful the manual settings were, and where the biggest errors are.

‍

With Datup, you also have access to the history of forecast accuracy, so you can identify what's working and what's not.

FAQs

What is the main difference between Datup and ForecastPro?

They differ primarily in the approach to each tool. Forecast Pro was created primarily for inventory management and optimization, and then integrated other planning features. Datup, on the other hand, was born natively as an AI analytics platform for demand forecasting and inventory optimization, with a focus on advanced models, which aims to improve supply chain decision-making based on data.

Is Datup cheaper than Forecast Pro?

That's right, Datup has a more accessible payment model than Forecast Pro. Datup offers scalable plans that allow growing companies to access advanced forecasting and supply chain technology without a large initial investment. In addition, it has unlimited users and a fixed monthly subscription adapted to the needs of your company.

How long does it take to show tangible results since implementation?

When implementing Datup, companies usually see the first tangible results within 4 to 8 weeks thanks to its agile implementation process. Forecast Pro, due to its higher level of complexity, generally requires a period of 2 to 6 months to complete the implementation.

Does Forecast Pro connect to other ERPs?

Yes, both Datup and Forecast Pro have integrations with the main ERPs in the market such as Oracle, Siesa, Odoo, and others. Both platforms have pre-configured APIs and connectors that make it easy to synchronize data.

Does ForecastPro have a conversational assistant like Datup?

No, ForecastPro does not have a conversational virtual assistant comparable to Alaia from Datup. The Forecast Pro system focuses on traditional interfaces with control panels, customizable reports and specialized modules that require manual navigation, without a co-pilot assistant.
