“Do your company’s computer systems have trouble communicating with each other? Attend one of these webinars to see how easy it could be…
Is your company restricted by:
- Inability to respond to Customer and Vendor demands
- Inability to upgrade to newer versions of software and thus take advantage of new functionality
- Inability to easily export data or create reports
- Inability to view key business data across systems
- Islands of information in decentralized locations
- Several disparate systems created inefficiency
Merittech is offering several opportunities to preview a solution that is built on Microsoft.NET technology. We’ll demonstrate why Infor ERP SL is the only system you will need. It is an ERP package with complete functionality and low cost of ownership.

Demand Forecaster Webinar
Thursday, March 20th 2008 1:15 - 2:15 PM EST
If your company struggles with calculating accurate forecasts, whether at the end item level or at the components and raw material level, you won’t want to miss this session.
The Bayesian Dynamic Linear Modelling techniques of Infor’s Demand Forecaster provide dynamic low-intervention statistical routines that automatically detect and dynamically adjust the best statistical model for each product. Additionally, Demand Forecaster has the functionality to support subjective input to the forecast where future demand is not dependent solely on historical patterns like promotions. Intelligence can be drawn from a variety of sources, both internally and by collaborating externally with customers and suppliers. The end result is a stable “one number” demand plan that can be used to drive the entire supply chain.
Key Features:
• Can handle multiple historical data streams (invoiced sales, demand, orders, point-of-sale etc.)
• Automatic consideration of demand profile for each product type (“fast moving, slow moving”)
• Automatic detection of seasonality, level and trend • Identification and auto-filter of exception demand
• Causal modelling to include factors like price, population, etc.
• New product launches, repackaging, new formulations and engineering changes
• Promotions, pricing, advertising and general market intelligence
• Product life cycle stages, obsolescence, predecessor - successor links
Demand Forecasting Functionality:
• Statistical forecasting
• Subjective forecasting
• Slow/Sporadic demand planning
• Causal modelling
• Multiplicative seasonality
• Market intelligence
• Customer input to forecasting
• Collaborative forecasting
• Promotional planning
• New products, obsolescence
• Dynamic supersession
• “What-if” scenarios
• Aggregation / Proration
• Forecast accuracy measurement
• Reporting and analysis
• Exception management
• Multiple historical sets
• Demand visibility
• Multiple calendars/ Weighting factors
• Top down – Bottom up Forecasting
The Benefits:
Demand Forecaster is a simple-to-implement and cost effective solution to your forecasting problem. Implementation is straightforward and will provide a speedy return on investment, as enhanced forecast accuracy rapidly provides broad ranging benefits including improvements in customer service level and reductions in inventory.
