Prognos - Strength In Partnership

Built on decades of experience and numerous successful engagements, the recent partnership between Prognos Inc. and Ironbridge utilizes industry expertise to create a best of breed end to end solution. This collaboration creates a closed loop of people, process, data, and analytics. Our collective solution employs leading edge data integration tools to construct a Data Warehouse optimized for CPG organizations. We automate the extraction of internal data such as shipments, consumption, and promotions, and external data from Nielsen, IRI, and RSI databases. Once the data is suitable for study, we start by producing a reliable baseline forecast and demand driver models using advanced statistical techniques. Your planners then enrich the forecast by integrating their business domain knowledge through a user-friendly interface. To maximize the value of the solution, only a low level of support is required from statistical analysts and IT. By reducing the time the planners spend manipulating data, greater emphasis can be placed on analyzing and planning profitability, significantly increasing organizational productivity. Baseline forecasts produced with planner input will lead to fewer overrides, enabling planners and analysts to work hand-in-hand to improve accuracy throughout the planning cycle. This will improve customer service levels and procurement decisions and reduce inventory, safety stock, waste, and supply chain cycle times.
