TimeTrends stands out by managing highly complex data with complete security in a closed-loop system, while remaining remarkably adaptable, configurable, and most importantly, easy to use.

This brief automation overview shows only a few of the timesaving features that are available. See the Mission-Critical Forecasting article for a more detailed overview of the forecasting process and how it relates to your corporate requirements. Each step shown can be managed hands-on, or as part of one or more automated procedures.

Many normally repetitive operations are readily replaced by automated functions. Examples of basically one-click operations include: the periodic data migration between your main system and TimeTrends; forecast control and validation; report generation and more.

Getting your data

Once per forecasting cycle (week, month, etc.), you run a user tool in TimeTrends to retrieve your current demand data, then perform any number of forecasts, validations, procedures, or other operations upon it before migrating it back to your main system. (TimeTrends can be configured to run as many or as few operations in one go as you wish.) Many tools can be created to suit a client's exact needs.
