4.5/5
What do you like best about Forecast Pro?

I liked the ability in FP to apply various multipliers (%, fixed amount, etc) to plan for off shelf promotions and ads.

I also liked the auto select for which statistical algorithm would be used based on the item's personality.

I also like the ability to group like items that share the same seasonal curve. This feature helped with new items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forecast Pro?

The scalability of FP seemed to be slowing down with more sku's added. Bandwidth seemed to be an issue at times on updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extremely user friendly but SLOW with too many SKUs (5000+)"
4/5
What do you like best about Forecast Pro?

Forecast Pro is extremely user-friendly and intuitive. There's a huge variety of functions that make forecasting simple. The software crunches the numbers, freeing up time to make the critical decisions you need to make. Also, the tech support is amazing. I never have to wait and my issues are resolved right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forecast Pro?

When we approached Forecast Pro, we told them how many SKUs we had (10,000+) and they said, "No problem!" Unfortunately, I have had to split my products into 5 different files, which makes the S&OP process tedious. You can merge them back together in a "Super Project" but mine is so large that the program crashes and is unusable. Although I really like being able to track different lead times of MAPE, I wish there were a way to see forecast accuracy instead of forecast error. Our executive team doesn't want to see errors.
