How to Select the Right Forecasting Method with Epicor Smart IPO

by Xabier Lizartzategi | Feb 12, 2023

Epicor business entrepreneur team meeting in a webinar to discuss forecatsing methods

Smart Software is pleased to introduce our new series of educational webinars, offered exclusively for Epicor Users. In this webinar, Erik Subatis, Enterprise Solution Engineer at Smart Software, will reveal the statistical models Epicor Smart IP&O uses to forecast and how the automatic “best pick” system works. While automatic modeling is invaluable for large-scale forecasting, occasionally, these forecasts don’t reflect our expectations and/or business knowledge. Understanding how and when to override the model selection can be a valuable tool in a forecaster’s toolbox. Finally, the presentation will conclude by showing how to increase profitability with software-enhanced inventory planning processes in a Live Demo.

Attending this webinar, you will learn about the statistical models Smart IP&O uses to forecast and how to catch the exceptions so you can make the most of your forecasting tool.
