“Forecasting used to be a nightmare that never ended and never satisfied management. Now we have it, it is done by sales, and they have confidence in what we think will happen. NEHANET made that work for us.”

BUSINESS BENEFITS

Increase Productivity
RSMs, Sales Operations Managers, and the VP of Sales spend many hours each month managing the forecast process. The NEHANET Forecast System can cut out a majority of that time. For example, the time savings for a company with five RSMs and a VP of Sales can exceed forty hours a month, or one-fourth of a new sales person!

Improve Sales Team Success
Rep firms, Distributors, and RSMs drive your forecast, revising it upwards or downwards based on their perspective. You can improve that perspective with a solution that shows blacklog, shipment information and actual performance versus forecast. You can also improve forecast accuracy by routing forecasts for approvals to marketing or application specialists rather than a simple region-based rollup.

Improve Customer Satisfaction
Accurate forecasting directly correlates to customer satisfaction due to the close relationship between your customers production and procurement functions. A forecast that is too low or too high can have an immediate adverse effect putting your relationship and future design-wins at risk.

Reduce Costs
Accurate forecasts also have a correlation to your production planning and inventory costs. Accurate long-term forecasts can help your manufacturing team anticipate demand and drive accurate capacity planning and supplier relationships.

Competitive Advantage
Executives make decisions based on their knowledge of the business. Concise, accurate information about run-rate, committed and future sales funnel business will assist in making good strategic and tactical decisions.

Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance
Corporate governance is increasingly important in today’s information driven economy. Make sure your company can avoid inquiries and penalties by accurately accounting for forward looking statements with documented processes and detailed audit trails.
