Simple, intuitive, yet powerful tool for demand forecasting

I find it rare these days to find product that not only do EXACTLY what it says it will do, but even exceed expectations. The SKU Science team promised a powerful, user friendly and cost effective alternative and that is exactly what they got. This tool single-handedly enabled in-depth discussions with our sales teams and unprecedented visibility into the performance of each SKU. We reduced our overforecasting with roughly 60% since we implemented the tool about 5 months ago and is likely to reduce it further as we continue to use the tool more.

PROS

As the title suggest, the product is fairly easy and intuitive to use, and it was quite easy to pick up.Some of the best aspects was the clear visualization of both historic sales, baseline forecast, and the adjusted forecast, all in one picture, and also the ease in which one could transition between (and forecast on) different levels of data aggregation.The support team is also one of the best I've ever encountered. In any setting, both professional and private. They are extremely customer centric.

CONS

I personally would like to see some more filter options in the Forecast view in the future. Right now it is really good already, but there has been scenarios where it would have been nice with some more options for conditional filtering. Then again, this is a personal preference and it might be hard to implement without trading out user friendliness, which is one of the biggest strengths with this tool.I used to have some issues with data uploading format the first month of using the tool, but the SKU Science team was quick to notice any errors and patching them away. None of my uploading issues remain as of today.

Reason for choosing SKU Science

Because it is easy to use, powerful, perfect for mid-sized companies, and because we desperately needed better forecasting. And we got all of this and more.

SKU Science Review for Aftermarket Parts

Overall very satisfied. Delivered an accurate forecast in an easy to use format as promised. Incredibly pleased with the ability to pinpoint high value items that were difficult to forecast items and deserved a second look. The training and customer support were absolutely fantastic.

PROS

Ease of use. Accuracy of forecasts. Relevant metrics that help make efficient use of forecasters time.

CONS

With a high number of forecasts (100k+), navigating to specific SKU forecast took some time to figure out.

Reason for choosing SKU Science

Accuracy of forecasts, ease of use

Vendor Response

Budgets - Sku Science

Sku Science has dramatically improved the efficiency and productivity at budget time.

PROS

We use Sku Science to support the budget process. The software enables us to quickly review/change at sku, customer and channel levels. We can also import machine learning forecast as the base forecast which greatly helps in reviewing cycle, pattern and trends. The support from Sku Science is first class and despite us being in Australia this did not effect the performance.

CONS

The reporting side is certainly the weakest part of the software. Instead of downloading into excel it should be made available to be reviewed in the tool.

Reason for choosing SKU Science

Previous teams used MS Excel previously to construct budgets. This was highly inefficient and unproductive often taking people out of the business for months. Sku Science has dramatically improved this process

Vendor Response

Thank you Mark for your review and to highlight the capability of the platform to adjust forecasts at any level quickly. We have addressed your feedback about the reporting to provide a better user experience.

Powerful and easy to use tool that provides the user with multiple options and real-time adjustments

We were pleased with the assistance in setting up the software to get us on track with our project. The user support was timely when required and the models included within the software are contemporary with additional value added features like ABCXYZ analysis and real-time forecast KPIs.

PROS

Easy set-up process and data wizard and good visualization when switching between models. Helpful reporting tools and fast between selections and screens.

CONS

Our requirements were business specific, therefore anything that was missing was requested for future development.

Vendor Response

Thank you Terry for your review of SKU Science and for highlighting the ease of the setup process and reporting tools.

SKU Science pour gérer notre prévisionnel de vente et éviter les ruptures de stock

PROS

Facilité d'intégration dans le SI, de prise en main, ainsi que toutes les fonctionnalités proposées, et le service et disponibilité des équipes SKU!

CONS

Une formation est nécessaire pour bien naviguer et bien personnaliser ses menus et recherches. Une fois que c'est acquis, l'outil est une véritable solution pour éviter les ruptures de stocks grâce à ses algorithmes plus que performants.
