The forecasting accuracy has transformed how we approach quarterly planning. What started as guesswork became strategic advantage. Our board meetings now focus on execution rather than explaining variances.
Key Improvement Areas
Budget variance reduced from 23% to 7% quarter-over-quarter. The seasonal adjustment algorithms caught three major market shifts that would have blindsided us. Most valuable feature has been the scenario modelling for property acquisitions – we've avoided two potentially disastrous investments based on the sensitivity analyses.
