Description:
In this installment of the Succeeding with Forecast Pro webinar series, Franklin Rea will offer a deep dive into when and how to build custom models in Forecast Pro.
Forecast Pro’s Expert Selection works well for the majority of items. However, there are instances where a custom model will need to be selected. In this webinar Franklin will discuss common scenarios where you may want to replace the model chosen by Expert Selection. He will walk through how to use the built in reports to identify these items. And how to use our new Compare Forecasts Utility to build and compare custom models.
Key Topics that will be discussed include:
● Using built in reports to identify forecast that need your attention
● How to use the Compare Forecasts Utility
● Modeling brand new products
● Applying events to spikes in your historic data
● Changing models on items with high forecast errors
Join this session to learn how to fully take advantage of the custom model capabilities built into Forecast Pro!
We will present this webinar twice to accommodate attendees in various time zones. Completing the registration allows you to attend either session.
