Industry Focus that Creates Competitive Advantage

New product functionality for the projects, consumer goods, and manufacturing and distribution industries.

Advanced Job Forecasting provides key capabilities for project-focused industries, such as engineering and construction to prevent project cost overruns due to lack of detail forecast visibility and to provide more accurate cash flow management throughout the project lifecycle.

• Project managers gain significant new capabilities to capture and audit a project’s expected labor and material expenses.
   
• Forecasts can now include anticipated material quantities and cost changes, as well as specific skills and pay levels required for remaining job phases.
   
• Project managers can use several new forecast calculation methods and can define their own calculations.
   
• Users can save and compare multiple forecasts, to compare what/if scenarios and store audits of forecasted versus actual factors.

Outbound Inventory Management optimizes inventory performance and significantly reduces business complexity for suppliers in the consumer goods and manufacturing and distribution industries.

• Manages the complete vendor-managed inventory and consignment lifecycle – from defining agreements through ordering, shipping, invoicing, and replenishment.
   
• Facilitates stronger customer collaboration, reduces customer stock-outs, and improves forecast accuracy, all of which results in increased customer loyalty and improved supplier profitability.
