Why Farsight

A Demand Forecasting solution for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management that works for you

We believe Demand Forecasting must be able to not only produce accurate forecasts, but also give you the tools to manage the unexpected.

To achieve this, it must be able to be configured differently for different environments.

Farsight Demand Forecasting Enables You To:

Generate forecasts at a higher level, e.g. site, when planning requires forecasts at a more detailed level, e.g. site & warehouse
Generate forecasts in larger time buckets, e.g. months, when planning needs them in smaller buckets, e.g. weeks
Generate forecasts using different forecasting formulas for different items
Group some customers differently from other customers to produce accurate forecasts
Group customers differently for different items.

Additional Features That Improve Dynamics 365 Demand Planning:

Manually enter new forecasts for items if you wish
Manually adjust existing forecasts at detailed or summary level, and lock the adjusted forecasts
Adjust future forecasts to allow for promotions or large projects and then automatically extract the extra sales from historical demand so they don’t distort later forecasts
Enable users to maintain forecasts offline because their job requires them to be mobile
Forecast new items based on demand from existing items
Measure forecast accuracy and see how it affects stock levels and customer service levels
Perform ‘what-if’ forecasting to see the effect on storage and production capacity.

Our Advanced Demand Forecasting product is the only Demand Forecasting solution that provides this functionality in a module that’s fully integrated with Dynamics 365 for Supply Chain Management. All other products, including Microsoft Demand Planning, duplicate data in a separate database and require it to be interfaced with D365 SCM’s database.
