Top 20 Demand & Forecasting Technology Companies - 2017

The increasing usage of demand forecasting for businesses can largely be attributed to the advancing application of computational technology. Unlike the conventional statistical practices for demand forecasting, the new IT driven technique have come to bear greater accuracy, increased productivity, and posses greater potentiality in uncovering market opportunities, with an efficient synchronization of demand and supply.

As technological solutions bolster the landscape for demand forecasting, two trends namely machine learning and demand signal analytics have come to revolutionize demand forecasting. Machine learning’s ability to accumulate and analyze complex demand variables has become pivotal in providing better accuracy, and resolve the eminent challenges of predicting demand for new product launches, promotion demands, and efficient handling of new sale volumes, which constitute the biggest concerns for the current retail market.
