Like

Like

-Helps to produce thorough and accurate reports -Flexible and easy to configure as required -User friendly interface -Use of different forecasting methods for superior planning and analysis

Dislike

I have noticed that there are not many forecasting options available. The system uses a lot of historical information and this can be a problem when dealing with new products or unpredictable markets.

Dislike

One area of improvement could be with the demand sensing capability. Another is with the excel interface that often has a lot of performance issues.

Dislike

-Databases take longer than usual at times which gets frustrating, and the processing is relatively slow
