Why traditional approaches fail
Businesses try to use everything from simple spreadsheets to complex demand/financial planning software to generate forecasts, but high accuracy remains elusive for two reasons.
- Traditional forecasts struggle to incorporate large volumes of historical data, missing important signals from the past that are lost in the noise.
- Traditional forecasts rarely incorporate related but independent data, which can offer important context (such as price levels, holidays/events, stock-outs, and marketing promotions). Without the full history and the broader context, most forecasts fail to predict the future accurately.
