High-quality forecast data for Purchasing. Procurement starts with precision.
Procurement Forecast at BOM level
Due to a lack of transparency and data regarding the future development of the business, purchasing departments often face the problem of not being able to create and use reliable forecasts.
The issue is that the sales forecast, which should serve as the basis for procurement, is not enough detailed, not updated frequently enough, and contains many undefined projects for which no BOMs yet exist.
VISTAlution provides such a forecast at individual BOM component level. See how …
The right Data Structure and Linkage
with Supply Chain transparency in forecasting
With the intelligent structure that VISTAlution brings into your data, the system is able to generate a Procurement Forecast that is directly based on the latest Sales Forecast. With the integration of the Bill-of-Materials, it’s not just possible to supply perfect transparency, but also to calculate a forecast at the level of individual BOM Components. This forecast can be exported or supplied per API for usage in other applications.
This makes VISTAlution a unique solution to connect Sales and Purchasing – both using the same source of data.
We are solving the “unknown” in your Forecast
with "alternative BOM" assignments for future Opportunities
Since a solid sales forecast always includes a certain number of future opportunities for which part numbers are still unknow, this often makes it difficult for purchasing to plan these projects in detail.
VISTAlution empowers precise planning also fpor those by assigning “alternative BOMs,” which are automatically replaced by the actual BOMs over time.
