“Before we implemented Smoothie, our forecast accuracy was averaging about 40%. Now, it's consistently over 75%.”
"It only took about a month to integrate Cloud Smoothie with our Oracle ERP system, and our planning immediately became more agile. For example, it helped us to respond with precision to the growing importance of Amazon’s marketplace. We were able to make improvements in the way we planned for that channel in the first week. We were amazed at the flexibility and depth of the analysis that we were able to perform. We can easily select the customers that we want to forecast individually. Previously, these types of changes would have required IT prioritization and took much longer to complete. Now, we can add new key customers or channels in no time flat, experiment with alternative hierarchies and roll-ups, and formulate new insights, all without consuming valuable IT resources."
